This town is fantastic for artistic types that enjoy traveling or spending vacations with close friends. My friend group previously went and enjoyed the tight-knit, eccentric vibe the atmosphere provides and this time we were able to come with them. It was unlike any small town in Arizona I’ve previously visited, and I’ve lived in Arizona basically my whole life. If you’re spiritual you’ll love it. The locals are very personable and friendly to have conversations with. This place has something powerful about it that’s indescribable, but if you’re a MAGA nut you’ll definitely not feel welcome since they generally aren’t around such diverse people in small vicinities. This place is truly refreshing in a state generally known for its suburban bible belts.
I've lived here 6 years and I'm still on the fence. It's beautiful to look at and the weather is great. It has small town problems, one grocery store, rumors, people get chased out of town occasionally. They try to paint Bisbee as a strictly artistic liberal oasis but that does no justice to the diversity of thought here. You'll never know what type of person you'll run into. Most have some crazy past, sometimes sad, almost always interesting. For me that's the real magic of the place. It has problems though. Most come from the overwhelming destitution in the area. Drugs are everywhere, meth at the top of the list. I've heard many people who grew up here talk of prison as if it were a right of passage. It's hard to find housing with outsiders turning everything into Airbnbs. Those with money are completely oblivious to the nastier issues. It's clicky like any small town, but it's easier to laugh off or ignore pompous types than it is drug addicts self destructing in public.
Watch your back if you are in the legal game. Petty problems. I won't trust your money with any of the local so-called competent attorneys in the area. Scope out the AZ Bar association records. This close to the border, most are fronts anyways. The water is toxic due to industrial pollution. Meaning you can not take a shower, brush your teeth unless you heavily invest in prepper grade water purification, and even then the forever chemicals, as tested, permeated into the aquifer decades ago. Tourism is great for the area. It is the toxic locals you have to watch out for. Watch some of our city counsel meetings, and you will understand. A huge problem is getting legal satisfaction. Being the deadbeat capitol of Arizona. Just try to get any of these people to pay their legally binding agreements. These shacks are fire hazards. The Airbnb parking situation is dire. Stay a few months before you commit, if you are looking to live here. Business should be cash upfront.
