Prescott Arizona Tour 2024 4k 

Here is our Flagstaff tour! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H9FLXJiBZL4.html

Moved here 42 years ago. Different now, but anyplace this beautiful will attract people. Still charming. Nobody lives in Prescott because they have to. Everybody lives here because they want to.

I’m the happiest I’ve ever been living here in Prescott 🤗

Moved to NYC to work after college, but always come back to Prescott every year to see my folks. It's always going to be home-base for me. Waking up and seeing Granite Mountain every morning will never get old, and you never feel any big-city stress being there. Don't take it for granted, it's a truly beautiful place.

I grew up in Prescott. After living in Phoenix for the past 3 decades I'm in the process of moving back home! I cannot wait! If you've never been to Prescott you're missing out!

Watched this a couple of times along with other Prescott videos and this is THE BEST!!! Thank you for showing what a majestic place it is!

Great overview of Prescott

My birthplace!!! I haven’t been back there in 15 plus years. I miss it so much! ThNk you for giving me a taste of my childhood!

Downtown Prescott is one of the few “old towns” that actually looks as good as - if not better than- it does in pictures. I’d say our town doesn’t have a bad angle - or at least, not in the downtown district. I love living here and am blessed to have escaped the hell of “that other state.” Like I tell friends and family, I moved to America and have never felt happier. Just don’t come here if you don’t like freedom and kindness. :-)

No place in the world i'd rather be than in Prescott, Arizona!!!! Damn I Would give anything to move my family back home!!!

This video shows all the beauty of the Prescott area, without any of the reality of what it is like if you move here. It is very crowded now. Going to the grocery stores with wall to wall people because Prescott and Prescott Valley keep building more and more homes, but no more grocery stores. Having to listen to sirens every day, when there used to be virtually none. I have gotten to watch people who lived here get pushed out of their rentals with no where to go (So the owners can rent to the richer Californians.) Many beggars with cardboard signs. The main road (69) is crowded all the time. Often it takes me two full signal lights before I can make a left In Prescott Valley. "Everybody's Hometown" - is exactly what it feels like.

I think it's the nicest place to live in Arizona.

Love Prescott! Lived there for many years! This is an awesome video and it brings back so many memories. “Everyone’s Hometown” 🤠✨

This is the heart of America❤️🇺🇸

Excellent footage. Well done.

Love Prescott ❤ It is still beautiful like it has been for the last 30 years. It's changed some not a lot.

Great job covering my hometown. 👍. I paid my dues after growing up in the valley. I love living here.

Amazing beautyfull thank you for sharing

I have a gazillion friends who live in Prescott, but I've never been there. We all worked together and they retired there, but I retired in Gold Canyon. Still, I need to get there and visit my friends. Now, I have a better idea of what it's like after watching your video. That's what you do! You give a preview of what I'm missing. Thanks!

I'm gonna have to visit Prescott. Such a beautiful city!

Looking for a place to retire and move from Colofornia. Loved this video. Thank you.

So very beautiful wow !! Have been here a couple of times but don’t expect it to be this beautiful.. have to explore it more now !!

Prescott was awesome in the 70's and 80's. As time has gone on, there is much more development. Old water holes that are now private property. I used to hike- even in 2000 and had a nice landscape view, but now you go somewhere and look at somebody's house. It's extremely disappointing. Even with habitat loss and water issues, development will continue and then it will be like everywhere else. It's a shame because there is money to be made in tourism without destroying everything. People will continue to move here and have no idea about the impact of destruction is and they will only see how it's so much better than the city they came from. They will have no idea of what has been lost and how it's going to catch up with us. It already is but the face of things looks great. Could have been dealt with better.

I love this video, great sound track!😀🎵🎵

One of the best Prescott videos I have seen. I want to retire in the Prescott area precisely for the reasons you have shown in this video. Thanks for another great video.

Did you mention Prescott Valley and Chino Valley? If you like the high plains....welcome!!

My hometown 🥲 Goldwater lake is definitely my favorite. Maybe one day I'll return. My sissy still lives there 😀

Well done. Next time let everyone get a glimpse of the "Worlds Oldest Rodeo". Everyone Home Town!

Weekends very busy Prescott, come su day nights, tourists gone and it’s pretty quiet. Love Prescott!

I live in Prescott. I NEVER go downtown unless I have to. I do live two feet from the Prescott National Forest so I do a lot of hiking.

Another good job. Prescott is one of the reasons why living in the Verde Valley is so wonderful. It plus Sedona and Flagstaff are so conveniently close. I do wish you would post your music choices maybe as a sign change when the new song begins. Your choice on this one was exceptional.

So miss Prescott when I came stayed awhile 1979 from New Zealand...I met so many wonderful/lovely people there. Stayed with my Mum's penpal and met up with Ty Hardin back then. So so so miss and would love to come back real soon but am getting older now and restrictions do not allow me to get into the states...I can watch these wonderful vlogs/videos tho...thanks a mill for sharing...big hugs and love from NZ...❤💗💜

Great video!

Love it! Pres-KIT!!! Yep! (psst! They got a rodeo too🤪) Cordes Junction... Been here since '71...we say: Cords or Cordez lol! I've never heard "Cordiss" hahhhaha!!! I learn something new every day!!! Cheers!👍👍👍👍

Excellent Enterprising Endeavor. Hearty Greetings from India 🇮🇳 💐🙏

Unfortunately, the town is way overcrowded these days. Your video describes it 15 years ago..

downton prescott actually inspired the set of Back to the future with the clock and square

Prescott must be the perfect town. Not to big and not to small a fantastic down town and beautful surroundings. Greetings from a Swede that last visited in 2018.

4th gen Prescott. Had a ranch out north. It was a small cow town then. and a very nice place of about 5,000. Now it's a friggen mess

I love living in PV and hanging out in downtown Prescott on the weekends with my son. Everywhere I drive it’s a scenic view!! 😍

Great video, you forgot a few things though. The 50+ halfway houses, the fact that it’s incredibly dangerous to drive anywhere because of the abundance of elderly drivers who should have lost their license 20 years ago. The rent prices have sky rocketed because why not? The traffic is just getting worse and worse (uncomfortable amount of California license plates don’t you think?) cookie cutter house slammed anywhere they can fit. Closing schools to make way for parking lots, sure let’s fill the classrooms with as many children as possible :). Ohhhh what about the square? The amazing historical square? Well come on down on a Friday or Saturday night to get drugged or robbed or both it’s pretty rad 🤘🏻. Town is along way off from what it used to be. I know I’m not the only one who feels this way.

I like your video and it shows lots of classy stuff but I would not want to live there now. I grew up there in the 50’s & 60’s when it was a small compact town and everything else was just ranches and open space. Now too crowded, crime, have to pay for everything. Thumb Butte picnic area was free back then. Could camp anywhere in the forest without any pass. Old timers that had a covered wagon and a team that lived in it and traveled along the highways came into town once in a while. Probably no one remembers that. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job!

The out of state birkenstockers are a destructive infestation with few common decent manners or respect for the beauty of the town or it's unique history. Still, Prescott is one of Arizona's crown jewels!

You forgot to talk about places to stay when visiting, I always recommend the motor lodge. It’s a great little motel by the square with a tone of character. Also Prescott is a dog town so make sure to bring your four legged friends.

enjoyed the tour. spent many a saturday night on the courthouse lawn while the folks square danced , Wish you'da put old Mike's headstone in. He was the town dog in the 50's. He slept in St Michael's lobby. Hes buried across the street in the lawn

nice video mate

DO NOT MOVE HERE---- My mother who is a senior citizen forgot to ring up some items she was purchasing in the self-checkout, Walmart called Prescott Police, and all hell broke loose. My mother who was confused why she was being arrested kept asking the officer “Why am I being arrested”, instead of explaining the situation, he told her to stop playing dumb and let her know she was being arrested for shoplifting. My mother who was shook as she’s gone her whole life without being in trouble with the law, asked the officer again, “Why am I being arrested”. Cuffs were shackled around her wrists very tightly which caused her to flinch and scratch the police officer, which he assumed was intentional, and started spouting out “NOW YOU’RE GETTING A FELONY”. My mother who has gone 60+ years of her life is now facing two felonies and we’re unable to afford an attorney, we also found out from the public defender that since my mother “was resisting arrest” it wouldn’t matter how hard the officer shackled the cuffs around here wrists since he had to use the “appropriate force to detain the suspect” even though my mother is a senior citizen. My mother’s wrists have a ¼” bump from the cuffs and were black and blue when I picked her up. She’s never been a criminal, you guys didn’t need to take things this far. Take my advice and DO NOT move here, this town is terrible. Everyone walks around grumpy, and the police pick on law-abiding citizens, meanwhile pounds of fentanyl are being smuggled at the border killing someone new every day.

I live in Prescott, and have to admit, I pronounce it Press-caught. Always sounded better to me. Anyway, great place, great video.

What is up with the bad roads? Potholes seem to be everywhere. Guess Californication is in Arizona now.

Prescott isn’t the same as it used to be, I’m glad I found a town in the Sierra Nevada mountains that reminds me of how Prescott used to be, but with so much more interesting things and sights.

I went to Miller valley elementary until 2000. I still miss this place, I wonder how it changed

I really wish they would make Prescott the Capital again. Phoenix gets enough national spotlight, we need to add some more to Prescott!

Flooding from the monsoon did some damage in that area!!!! Don’t forget about Flagstaff as well! 😭😭😭

Wikieup Arizona , Great stop for pies and coffee at night. Truck Drivers 15 to 30 minutes break before continuing late at night. ❤❤❤❤❤

Prescott is now actually part of what we call the Quad Cities. Prescott, Prescott Valley, Dewey/Humboldt, and Chino Valley. This is due to the recent insane population increase and how there is very small open space left separating these towns. The joke used to be soon you can drive from Dewey through PV all the way into Chino and you'd struggle to see when one ends and the other begins. It's no longer a joke it's the current reality.

Thanks for the video. I've lived in Prescott for about 8 years and I still enjoy it. It's got a lot of natural beauty and there are plenty of friendly people. Like anywhere, what you get out of living in Prescott depends largely on your underlying expectations. It's definitely not a young person's town...and yes, the job market is fairly narrow. *Is it largely conservative? Definitely, but so what?... people have a right to their political views, just like people have a right to move here if they want to (yes, even from California). We don't restrict speech, thought, or movement in a free country... *Is it expensive? Yes, living costs here have skyrocketed, but that's true just about everywhere lately, so par for the course I guess ... *Is it mostly clean and well- maintained? Yes, especially if you're comparing it to larger communities/cities...so it's still wonderful by comparison. *Is it different than it was 20 years ago? Probably. But name a place on earth that isn't (outside of North Korea, maybe). No matter where you move to, the community will change over time. So I say get used to it, and make the best of YOUR time there by being a good fellow citizen.

Vote republican!!

Get Katie Hobbs out of the governors office

The Yavapai County courthouse was never the state capitol building. The state capitol when in Prescott is located down Gurley at the Sharlot Hall Museum.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it

One of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the state, if not, the country.

I lived out in prescott in 2014 for a few years..and let me tell you I regret moving back to the east coast every single minute of the day..lol hopefully be back soon

Keep Arizona RED

Can’t wait to move there. Two more years.

😊

5:30 mentioning 5300’ 😆👍

Insane population increase and I really want to see more people move out... Then in... Is it just meee??? Its cool and all but its A LOT of people in the past year alone. I think people wanna have some space to grow not to cram together in cookie cutter homes.

Loved 😍 it in Prescott AZ

Hi can u make a video of golden valley and Dolan springs AZ please

I used to live and work at the Grand Canyon National Park South Rim, and I always enjoyed going to Flagstaff and Prescott, 2 great cities.

..and if you decide to visit or live here be Respectful to locals,this is not LA or NY.Thanks

I'm surprised you didn't mention Williamson valley

Also known as The Christmas City 🎄

Blindfold me and i think I’m listening to Howard Stern. Please tell me I’m not the first person to say you are his voice twin… 😅

I was interested in seeing this in my home feed beautiful town I'm a native from prescott I live 16 miles down Williamson valley road past the historic old stage stop and if you need surgery I got you covered I'm a nursing assistant at the local hospital in prescott in the medsurg/Tele unit

visit Sharlot hall

make sure to clarify how terrible the housing is, and how anti dog it is and that it is a major rehab town

Wasn't the movie Billy Jack filmed there? you never hear anyone talk about that, I wonder why?

No swimming in most of the lakes! Just fyi

I can't wait to move here when the real estate markets dip a little.

We love the town Prescott we almost bought a home there, but ended up in Anthem. Arizona

Fun fact: The courthouse lawn was the site of the line by Billy Jack, ""I'm gonna take this right foot, and I'm gonna whop you on that side of your face."

I m Az born n raised. Any idea for kids to do in Prescott?

Please only come to visit. Prescott is beautiful but is losing its small town charm. The water is disappearing and development has pushed out native wildlife.

Wow! I think I'm in love. Looks beautiful. What is the job market like?

I didn't see the mention of all the drug addicts due to the insane amount of rehabs here, as well as our friends overdosing at young ages, and 80% of girls being pregnant by 16

LOVE Prescott! Strangely enough some of the lakes there are not for swimming and don't allow it. I think Lynx Lake just started allowing it this year or last.

Just got back from vacation there. We love it and would like to retire here, but unfortunately, the housing prices are just too high for us. Even if we sold our home for top dollar, we would still be a couple hundred thousand short to get a decent place. We don't want to sink every penny we have, plus have a mortgage, just to buy a house. I thought Arizona would be cheaper than California, but no such luck.

Can you swim in those lakes?

It IS "Press-kit"!

Everybody's home town. Except the locals. Housing and rental prices are astronomical. It's a minimum wage/ retirement town. Nurses, Medical Staff, Social/ Human Service workers, service staff, refuse men woman are all being priced out. Crimes seriously up shootings, drug deals gone wrong, literal gang wars during daylight at our parks, Officers being killed in the line of duty. It's out of control. The current infrastructure is unable to handle influx of new residents joint from other States. No none of the lakes are are safe for swimming nor is it permitted. It's becoming a unsafe bubble about to pop. Visit? Absolutely! Chose to purchase a home here to live year round? Do your research please before you decide. We'd love to have new folks and families that wish to join our community and invest in it. Hopefully you establish work locally 1st, and understand this is a small retirement and tourist town. Nothing like the Valley. We have had many out of State remote workers come here, buy with cash, try to settle, then get recalled from remote positions,are unable to find livable wage skilled jobs, have to sell the home they just bought and move to a larger metro area so they can make salary that they are comfortable with. It's sad to see people love it here, then literally have to list their new homes, and move to a safer, cultured, and fiscally viable area.

I moved to Prescott in 2015 after living in Phoenix Metro from 2003-2015. Prescott is one of the greatest places in Arizona, however believe it or not Prescott & Prescott Valley and surrounding area have over 250,000 people which is insane, the towns and infrastructure were NEVER made for so many people. There is honestly too many people living here and the $500K-$1M home prices haven't slowed the population growth. Sadly in the past few years stores have been closing, despite the population growth Same Club and Whole Foods closed, the mall goes bankrupt every few years, other than medical jobs there isn't much for work so you need to be retired or have independent income, and home prices are astronomical even in Arizonas general market. Prescott vs. Preskitt is used to identify outsiders vs. locals. Locals all say Preskitt.

You didn’t mention any place to stay

Getting to crowded here and people don’t know how to drive. Housing expensive as well

Hi

Swimming in Prescott 🧐? Lol Where?

Housing market probably expensive!!!!

Born and raised in Arizona 59 and seen a lot. Prescott back in the late 1960s threw the early 1990s was something special. But all things change earth quakes Rodney king rioting brought slews of Californians to Prescott Arizona. Then all of a sudden Prescott was dealing with crimes they had never had to deal with before. At that time was gangs and sentence random crimes as in shootings. So for the next 20 to 30 years Prescott & Prescott valley has grown tremendously. Pricing of housing threw the roof and don’t forget the water issues. As a Arizonan it’s sad to see what Prescott has become. Over ran by liberals fleeing their crappy states.
