I've lived in Prescott as a full time resident the last three years and I've been visiting off and on for the last twenty years.
Pros:
Outdoor Activities - If you like doing literally anything outside, you're covered.
Natural Beauty - Just look at all this nature!
Nightlife - Do you like alcohol? You'll be fine.
Cons:
Housing Market - Are you a millionaire? No? Then get ready to rent! Oops every apartment has 40 other applicants with more money and better credit than you, the real onion in the ointment is they won't even live there all year.
Job Market - Ready to work 20 hours a week for $11.00 to feed a family of four? No? Well, the parks have showers for the homeless now.
Family Friendly - I mean, they're putting in another park, this one has water! But what about families that aren't huge on the outdoors or have littles? Enough parks, already!
Affordability - You're going to struggle here, it's not a town for poor people.
Diversity - There's none, it's old, white money.

Moved here in 2007,and have loved it!
I have a small business that serves the increasing number of dog owners in our Quad city area, and that business has thrived. I have also found a great church home that serves the community as well.
There is a small town intimacy and pride in being part of Prescott’s growth,while keeping its warm welcome to all who want to be a part of our community.

Prescott is super unique, which makes for a very special hometown. It has a lot of history and attracts tourists in the summertime. "The Square" is probably the most popular spot. Located in downtown Prescott, it holds a large grassy quad with old-fashioned shops and restaurants surrounding it. This is where the Annual Courthouse Lighting is held, where all the trees are lit up for Christmas time! Prescott has a lot to offer, such as its beautiful hiking spots. We have multiple lakes and the Granite Dells, which make for stunning trails in the summer. Growing up in Prescott showed me a lot about the importance of community and how sweet it is to grow up in such a quaint little town.
