Rating 3.71 out of 5 141 reviews
Slowly been growing over the past decade, and the public library is the best place to be! There's a wonderful array of books as well as a coffee house inside. More and more buildings are popping up, and the entertainment district is slowly but surely growing as well, which is amazing considering most new buildings tend to be auto parts stores or car washes!
I have lived here almost 25 years, and things have changed. Crime, traffic, people moving here with 'tudes. Not enough facilities to accommodate all the new people moving here, infrastructure or lack thereof is a serious problem. I think my biggest complaint is allergies. I didn't have them until I moved here. Pollen is pretty much 9 months of the year and it's miserable, nothing helps and it's getting worse each year. Also, the altitude. No one mentions this but please do yourself a favor and visit here for a while before buying to see if you can adapt to the altitude. Many people cannot tolerate it, much harder to breathe though you can adapt if you are healthy enough. I really wish this was mentioned more often so people understand what its like living at a higher elevation. Also, you have a to drink a TON of water daily lest you get dehydrated. I will be moving within a year as I am not happy here and want to be closer to the beach, at a lower elevation and with kind people.
Prescott and Prescott Valley are small towns with small town charm, but there is a large retirement and rehabilitation population. This creates lack in terms of education, political views, and availability of living. Growing up here there was barely any diversity, which now as an adult I see has created an incredible amount of racism and ignorance in terms of racial justice. Especially within the last five years, white supremacy, racism, and hate culture is breeding like wildfire in such a conservative town. Schools in the area provide some of the worst education in the country. There is little to no affordable housing in areas that are safe and family friendly. Businesses that may interest younger generations are not considered because of the older population that controls the community. The town itself has so much potential but I am seriously considering moving to a place where growth, open mindedness, and community are of more importance to everyone.
