[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Flagstaff, AZ. Have been 3 times.  Would love to live there. [/quote]

I loved Flagstaff also and felt at home there.  Then I learned how much it snows there.[/quote]l.

Winter is as beautiful  as summer. Skiing just 20 minutes from town. DD is hoping to attend NAU in 2 years.  [/quote]

I scrolled through this post wondering if someone would say Flagstaff as I’ve heard numerous people mention how they visited and fell in love. I moved there almost 10 years ago site unseen due to my husband’s job. It is a beautiful place to live and raise a family. I feel lucky to raise my kids in such close proximity to outdoor activities, yet able to escape to Sedona or the Valley for a break from winter. Snow sports (recreationally) are very accessible on a modest salary. It has a small town vibe (which can be good and bad).

Unfortunately it’s crazy expensive and I’m not sure feasible for us long term, even though I’d love to stay. Housing is outrageous, cost of living is high and professional salaries (looking at you NAU and NAZ Healthcare) don’t keep up. Health care is also hard to come by. I see it becoming more and more filled with second homes and air bnbs while families are pushed out. For example, our house price has doubled in 7 years and 3 houses on our street have been bought and converted to air bnbs in the last year. [/quote]
