Prescott's mile-high elevation, moderate climate, scenic vistas, parks, trails and so much more will provide you with a good feeling about the community. For a city of 43,000, there is a lot happening here! Regular big-city style entertainment is offered through such venues as Yavapai College and city cultural facilities. The variety of local restaurants is incredible, with a growing mix of recognizable national chains, too.
Shopping experiences are easily satisfied as well. Many love to poke through the myriad of antique shops, art galleries, and other specialty stores downtown, while finding larger department and retail stores in the area, too. Prescott is the hub of shopping for much of central Arizona.
