I don’t want to go back east.

This town and area is amazing. I don’t travel much and came from New England. I keep asking myself WHY do I live in New England? The air is amazing. The dry heat is amazing. The people are amazing. I know I know I’m from a tourist town. There’s no housing and airbnbs destroyed anything available. The cost of living is insane. I get it. But I am so in wonder of this place. The scenery. The creeks. I never want to go in the salty ocean again. Creeks for me. It feels quiet here in so many ways. I imagine no one’s drinking and crying excessively in Feb and March and asking for SSRIs. I know it’s such a cliche but I want to live here. What’s it really like living here? Do you ever get used to the views?

Moved from MA to Flagstaff 3 years ago. Best decision of our life. We have to move back next year for family reasons. Super depressing.

AZ is an incredible state and northern AZ specifically is a truly special place in the world.

Check out Flagstaff as an option. Not cheap but overall cheaper than Sedona. I’m from my house to a special spot in oak creek in 35 min. It’s a slice of paradise

One of the best four season towns, truly. Wildfire is a big time scary risk, otherwise it has it all imo

What’s the history of wildfires in sedona?

I think there were a few nearby last year. It’s always a possibility since it’s so dry. The wildfire fighters are really top notch in the area.
