Thinking of moving to prescott area. Any info. on rv or mobile home parks? Also cost of living. Are vehicle inspections required? How about emission inspections? Weather? Anything you could tell me would be great. Thanks

I'm not from Pres-kitt () but there aren't any annual vehicle inspections. You will have to take the vehicle to DMV if your bringing one in from out of state for a VIN verification and have it registered here. I don't think there are any emissions test there either. Emissions tests are mainly in the Phoenix and Tucson areas.
Weather up there is about like the Midwest. Four seasons and all that. 100 degrees for the extreme summer days and snow in the winter, sometimes.

I've lived in Prescott for the last 38 years (moved here from MN when I was 21), I wouldn't want to live anywhere else!
As far as I'm concerned it's the best place in AZ to live!


Are you retiring or will you need a job?

Chino Valley, the town over, is more mobile home friendly.

Prescott is a retirement, livestock farming, and college type of town. Right now we have small of amounts of snow on the ground. Summers are hot as hell, but not  the Phoenix kind of hot. As for things to do, we have nature, and lots of it. Plenty of places to camp, go shooting, and hiking.

We have a small airport that the Marines occasionally fly into. We've got a small mall, Best Buy, Costco, there's always something to do on the weekends at the town square, and Jerome is awesome to visit. We have Prescott Action Shooters if you like to compete down in Wilhoit, and a few hours away from Flagstaff, Phoenix, and the Grand Canyon.

If you're looking for lots of nightlife action, this isn't for you. It's low stress, low key, and the people here are nice, and want to be left alone and like leaving others alone.

For $158 after taxes, I'm registered for two years. I paid that much for one year in California back when I was stationed there, if that tells you something.
