Pros and Cons of Living in Flagstaff 

To ALL the skeptics who dont really know about moving to Flagstaff. I would love to re- affirm your decision. I been ALL over the world with the Military. I NEVER seen a City where EVERYONE is HAPPY and FRIENDLY, like Flag. Im a Black older lady who had preconceived notions when I ventured out towards Flag. I didn't know if the people in Flagstaff which is (mostly Caucasian) would be racist and treat me mean. In my quest, I found a City where the MOST polite considerate people live and dwell together PEACEFULLY. BOTH young and old alike. They let me KNOW real clear, "WE WELCOME YOU HERE!" I felt amazed and tremendously BLESSED. Flagstaff is an expensive place to live. I started a business and moved to a town 1 hour away where rent is a little more reasonable, yet can still drive daily to Flagstaff if need be to take care of business. If your a mean hearted person, I suggest you dont move there. The level of happiness there will greatly annoy you; but if your tired of day to day challenges due to mean, unfaithful, selfish people; and desire to switch it up; COME to Flagstaff, where GOOD wholesome HAPPY people are at.. Or move to the surrounding cities around Flagstaff where rent is more afordable.

Was visiting Flagstaff a few years ago and was anxious to get a copy of a book that was being released. The nice taxi driver took me to 2 different book stores to locate a copy. Later two different taxi drivers asked if I was the lady looking for the book and if I got my book. Such a friendly small town attitude. I was really impressed.

I loved Flaggstaff when I visited on the way to the Grand Canyon. I am surprised you did not mention Lowell observatory. That was a real neat place and historically significant as it was where Pluto was first discovered.

I'm a former resident of Flagstaff, from 1978 to 1984. I attended Killip elementary, East Flagstaff Jr. High (Mt. Elden Middle) and Coconino High School. La Fanda was my favorite Mexican place back then. Camp Colton was an interesting experience in my youth as I recall. The Hart Prairie area is beautiful, especially the aspen trees. The ponderosa pines are beautiful but the long needles are sometimes a nuisance. Anyway just reminiscing about those days. I was born in Kingman by the way. 12:35

I am in Australia and am looking so forward to my next visit, hopefully in the Springtime.

Flagstaff does NOT depend on the Colorado River for its water. City planners had the foresight to aquire water rights to huge aquifers east of town and Flagstaff is assured a 100 year water supply despite weather and population predictions and this is what sets it apart from Phoenix/Tucson et al. Best place to live in the southwest.

Ha ha ha that’s hilarious hearing your Dog sipping licking water at 4.10. Absolute gold!

Sounds like a nice place to visit. That food all looked delicious!

Great bones for chewing and cool, clean water for drinking! -the Dog. No, seriously, thanks for the informative video and tell your dog I said Hi. :)

I'm from the UK and so many things about Flagstaff appeals to me - the mountains, ponderosa pines, the desert sunshine with the altitude taking the edge of the heat, close proximity to the grand canyon, friendly folks and the natural beauty of the area. COVID has restricted my plans so unfortunately it will be some time in visiting - but I will be there. It has everything I would want in a holiday location..

i love FlagStaff... just the name is wonderful in itself.

I went to NAU and lived in Flagstaff for a good chunk of the 90s. When I moved back to Arizona, I briefly thought about returning to Flagstaff, but the cost of housing is just unreal. I mean, I get it. Any nice city in the west is expensive now. But I am happy to be in Tucson instead. Visiting Flagstaff is pretty easy day drive away.

I live in Mesa and Tempe, most all my life, except my 7 years in the army. I have about 6-10 years before I retire and am looking to move to Flagstaff to get away from the 115 degree summers and have seasons. Been looking at 2 bedroom condo's but there is absolutely nothing for sale now. I know 6-10 years things will change, so I am watching videos like this to see how life would be in a SMALLER CITY lol I miss the pine trees and SEASONS. Thank you for sharing.

Great vid~ I live in Las Vegas & need to get out from June-September to escape the dreadful heat. Flagstaff is first on my list~

Awesome vid! Thank you!

I've been considering Flagstaff as my retirement destination. The negatives in this video, traffic and rising home prices, don't bother me as I'm coming from San Jose, CA where the traffic is worse, and the home prices are even higher. Two things worry me about Flagstaff, however. First is the potential for wild fires, and the second is the flooding that comes as a result of the fires. Would someone like to address my concerns?

Lived there for many years. My mom worked at LA Fonda's. Trying to move back but soooo expensive

A comparable house that I have in Central Iowa would be around 800,000 in Flagstaff and what see the jobs don’t pay anymore, I’ll stay here ,the cost of living is less expensive !

Oh I love this!! We’re planning on retirement in Arizona and flagstaff is definitely a place we want to check out!!

great video! thanks

My home town!

Good video

Planing on moving there :)

Awesome intro! Cool channel about the town I love!! And hello Kristen! Crazzzy how we can live in the same town yet not see people we know for years..

I came to Mesa AZ a year ago from Florida and I think that was a mistake after getting a feel of the heat and seeing the pollution. My husband and I love nature and we hike. We do want to get away from steaming heat weather and the pollution. How is the pollution there year round? And is it a good place for asthma and sinus problems?

Used to live here back in my day now I live in boulder Colorado. Similar cities and vibe.

I would love to visit Flagstaff Arizona oneday.

I remember the weird thing about Flagstaff was that I swear I could always hear the sound of a dog eating...

Nice intro

awesome video, Im looking to move to flag in the next few months! thanks for the info

Is the wind really a big problem in the springtime out there?..i mean to the point its absolutely annoying and ruins the day? and how long does this wind season usually last?

Flagstaff is nice

Can anyone tell me what the C19 V situation is down there? Washington is becoming communist and mandating certain "therapies," for just about everyone. I am looking to move. I'm a nurse, have a medical exemption and recent natural immunity. I'm not trying to trigger anyone or start anything here. I just need to know if I would I be able to find employment around there? Thanks in advance ❤

I moved here in 1990 and will never leave.

I love Flagstaff! I would love to live there! I live in Phoenix now.

This video is really cool and helpful. Thanks for sharing. Anthony (London, UK)

The Beaver Street Brewery is my favorite bar and restaurant in Flagstaff and Bookman's is an awesome place to hang out and look at all the books and other things.

Did she Really. NOT mention the Very Best thing about Flagstaff is you’re only 1.5 hours from the Grand Canyon !!! And she’s lived in Flag her entire life ??!!!!!

I love Nimarcos lol 🖤💣

Thank You! What’s the average price for a to bedroom 2 bath apartment?

When the wind hits Purina dog chow factory Flagstaff stinks to high heaven. You can even smell it down on South beaver street.

Thinking about moving to flagstaff from Alaska

Flagstaff is not the same as it use be

How is the job market? I'm considering relocating.

Nine years ago,i'vee been there working hard on ACE,american conservation experience,It was like a nigthmare,I,'m Spanish Guy,they treat me bad,and mess with me ,its a boring Town and smaller,and the worst was the warm

One pro: Plainrock124 is there :D

what is the health food community like in Flagstaff? Is it anything like Sedona? Are there good farmers markets and good organic grocery stores?

Please, rerecord this and use lapel mics. The echo on this video is terrible.

Thanks for this. I’m starting my research for a move there, possibly. But…What’s all the noise in the background? You got a loud dog chewing on a bone and drinking water? That mic your using is too sensitive. Put a muffler “pop protector” on that mic! 😖😂

Con: Flagstaff Unified School District is completely unresponsive to parents needs, desires and concerns.

Who ever Kevin Brent Williams is good luck

Want out of CA, AZ seems nicer

Is there wildlife there?

So are you trying to get more people to move here? Because most of this wonderful stuff is very exaggerated. It's over crowded already.

No mention about how bikeable Flagstaff is and what is the public transportation there like?

Bring Back Roma Pizza!!!!

I’m tired of living in L.A. I want to move to Flagstaff

Y’all got any dem skinwalkers?

Flagstaff is helluva lot better than Cottonwood lol… ;)

Flagstaff is a third world country. The divide between wealthy and poor is astonishing and it pisses me off that nobody wants to acknowledge that. This is what should be talked about everytime Flagstaff is mentioned until everybody has a safe way to live.

Very expensive,I a moving cant afford to live here anymore....

Flagstaff has been deteriorating for years. I grew up there. Growing crime, homelessness, traffic, substance abuse, cost of living, high density upward building, congestion in the surrounding forests, noise, taxes, flooding, death of trees along the roadways, Californication, and pollution (take a sniff by the Mall). Why anyone would move there is beyond me.

I'm going to guess that you are a Virgo.

Took me a whole ass year to find a place to live

Cons, disrespectful NAU students. Homelessness and begging.

With the college in town there is a nice selection of hot broads.

The REAL question is are there any African Americans living in Flagstaff ?
