1. A Hub for Adventure

If you’re looking into Flagstaff as a future home base, it’s likely that your zeal for adventure doesn’t stop just at where you live. Flagstaff is an excellent starting line for your adventures all throughout Northern Arizona, Nevada and even breathtaking Southern Utah & Colorado. Just a short drive to neighboring world-famous destinations like The Grand Canyon and Sedona’s Oak Creek Canyon & red rocks, you’re also only a 3.5-5.5 hour drive to Bryce Canyon National Park, Zion National Park, Las Vegas, Telluride, CO and more! Or just a 2 hour drive down to the Phoenix area if you’re just craving the nearest “big city”.

2. Culture & Community in AZ

Many other parts of Arizona around Phoenix have often been criticized of having a lack of culture or community–where suburban sprawl and corporate chains rule the land. While the Valley has made strides in recent years, Flagstaff doesn’t suffer those same shortcomings. Not only is the view more vibrant and beautiful, so too is the culture and the community that fosters it. One advantage of being a college town that also draws the type of people at peace in the beautiful mountains of Arizona, is that there is a thriving, artistic culture that guarantees no shortage of festivals, concerts, community parades and holiday events, diverse food options, artwalks, local Native cultural events and so much more!

3. Take Hike, Boredom!

If you’ve visited Flagstaff, it’s impossible not to notice the stunning scenery of the miles of Ponderosa Pine forest all around you. With that comes so many great ways to get outside and enjoy the outdoors. From hiking the heights of the San Francisco Peaks, biking through town directly onto the trails on the Urban Trail System, hitting the slopes at snowbowl, winter ice skating, or simply pitching a tent out on beautiful public land, you’ll never be bored if you love the outdoors.

4. Weather? Cool it.

If you’re moving from out-of-state, you might have a certain perception of the weather in Arizona… (hot as hell). Well that’s not the case for Flagstaff! Being at an elevation that put’s Denver to shame (7000′), Flagstaff offers a true 4-season climate that doesn’t get nearly as hot as the Valley of the Sun. During the summer months, highs generally stay in the 80s with cooler evenings.

5. Home Values Continually High (like the Elevation)

While in general the home prices aren’t exactly desirable for those looking for a bargain, the flipside is due to the limited housing supply and high demand, your investment will most likely continue to grow at a solid pace. According to Realtor.com, the median home price in July ’22 in Flagstaff was $709,000, up over 18% year over year.
