Prescott

A community that feels like home the moment you arrive. Often called “Everybody’s Hometown."

Welcome to Prescott

Prescott, Arizona, is a community that feels like home the moment you arrive. Often called “Everybody’s Hometown,” this historic mountain city blends small-town charm with a dynamic, active lifestyle, and it’s no surprise Prescott consistently ranks as one of the top retirement destinations in the country. But don’t let that label fool you. Prescott is equally beloved by young families looking for a grounded, safe, and vibrant place to raise kids in a community that still values connection, tradition, and outdoor living.
 
Set against the backdrop of the Prescott National Forest and cradled by massive granite boulders and rolling hills, Prescott is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. With four scenic lakes, over 400 miles of hiking and biking trails, and endless opportunities for kayaking, rock climbing, trail running, and horseback riding, this is truly an outdoorsman’s playground. Whether you're exploring Thumb Butte, heading out to Watson Lake, or cruising through the pines, there’s no shortage of ways to stay active and inspired by the land.
 
The town itself is rich in history, proudly home to Arizona’s original Territorial Capital and the legendary Whiskey Row, where historic saloons still stand as a tribute to the Wild West. Today, downtown Prescott blends that heritage with a walkable square full of locally owned shops, art galleries, boutique dining, and a calendar of events that keep the Courthouse Plaza buzzing year-round.
 
Prescott embraces all four seasons, cool breezes in the spring, warm summer days without the extreme desert heat, crisp autumn leaves, and mild winters that occasionally bring a dusting of snow. It’s just enough change to enjoy seasonal living without the harsh extremes found elsewhere in the state.
 
And when the holidays roll around, Prescott transforms into Arizona’s official Christmas City, with twinkling lights, the Courthouse Lighting ceremony, and a calendar full of festive events that bring the community together in the most heartwarming ways.
 
Whether you’re retiring, raising a family, or simply looking for a place with soul, scenery, and a slower pace, Prescott offers a rare blend of heritage, nature, and neighborly spirit. It's not just a place to live, it’s a place to belong.
