Why Prescott Valley Is Arizona’s High-Country Real Estate Secret, Without the Phoenix Frying Pan

-
  Let’s be honest. Arizona has a reputation. People hear “Arizona” and picture Phoenix traffic, steering wheels hot enough to fry breakfast, and summer afternoons where even the lizards look tired. Then they find Prescott Valley, and suddenly Arizona gets a whole lot more interesting. Prescott Valley sits in the high country of Yavapai County at about 5,000 feet in elevation.
