<h3>About the Community</h3> <p>Prescott sits at 5,400 feet in central Arizona's mountain country, delivering four genuine seasons — including snowfall — that set it apart from the desert floor communities to the south. The historic Whiskey Row downtown, year-round outdoor recreation throughout the Prescott National Forest, and a well-established arts and dining scene give the city a character well beyond its size. Phoenix is 90 minutes south and Sedona is 90 minutes southeast, offering easy access to a major metro and one of the Southwest's premier recreation destinations while keeping daily life at a small-city pace and cost.</p>
