Prescott FAQs

Below are some of the questions we get most frequently asked questions when folks are considering moving to Prescott, AZ.

Does Prescott have water crises like other Arizona cities? No, because developers must have a hundred-year plan for sourcing the water for their projects before they can even start building. We even have a video about it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYggzLoBN28 

Is there adequate medical care available in Prescott? Yes! If you’re trying to compare a small town like Prescott to a huge metropolis like Los Angeles, then you might be disappointed. We have a trauma center at Yavapai Regional Medical Center, though for world-class specialist care you may need to coordinate with or travel to facilities in Phoenix. We addressed this in this video: https://youtu.be/S4rgrdTw368

Does Prescott have plenty of jobs? That depends on what sector you’re looking in. Like most small towns, the supply of big corporate jobs in high-paid sectors like finance and IT are scarce. Prescott is very popular with retirees, so if you’re looking for something in the service industry, you’ll have a variety to choose from. And if you’re already set with a remote job, then you don’t need to worry as much about the available sectors.

Are there any scorpions in Prescott? Yes, but they are rare, especially if you hire an effective pest control professional.

Does Prescott lean liberal or conservative? Definitely conservative, but there is tolerance from both sides for the other.
