15 Oct Flagstaff Real Estate: Life in the Mountains
We’ve all had the fantasies, the classic “hobo on the train” daydreams of leaving it all behind and living a simpler life closer to nature. With films like the recently released Wild, the classic novel adaptation Into the Wild, and even elements of the tiny house movement, more and more people are longing to escape the city life for something that feels a little more substantial. However, some of us who have these dreams aren’t totally ready to leave it all behind, and for those people Flagstaff, Arizona just might be where you belong.
For those of you who have never visited northern Arizona, you may have a much different image in your mind of what Arizona is like. Sure, down in the valley around Phoenix and Tucson there are temperatures over 110 degrees and expansive deserts dotted with saguaros. However, Flagstaff sits at an elevation of nearly 7000 ft with much cooler temperatures, beautiful seasons, dense forest and is actually one of the snowiest cities in the United States!
Flagstaff real estate is a great investment not only because of the beautiful forested mountain scenery, clear night sky, or the quiet escape of cabin life achieved in certain pockets of town including Kachina Village and Mountainaire. With the always growing Northern Arizona University contributing to increasing property values, a beautiful historic downtown that provides great live music, an active bar scene, and all the conveniences of big name stores and a mall on the east side, Flagstaff strikes a nice balance between your escapist fantasies and the comforts of a much larger city!
Flagstaff Real Estate: Nature at your Doorstep
When you are feeling that need to escape, look no further than the more than 50 miles of urban trails that snake through the city and surrounding nature. Chances are you will be able to walk to a section of the urban trail system within a couple miles of your newly purchased Flagstaff real estate. That doesn’t even include the countless trails and camping throughout the San Fransisco Peaks, Snowbowl, Picture Canyon, Lake Mary, Sandy’s Canyon, and too many more locations to list! In Flagstaff nature is always at your doorstep!
