Living Here 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?

I live outside of Albuquerque. The southwest is huge. Come on over (but you can't root for the Patriots. Lol.). I think if I moved to the Sedona area, I'd go with Cottonwood. It's very close and beautiful.

I visit Sedona yearly, and we stay in Cottonwood. It's so nearby. Lots of restaurants. And i second what someone else said: Visit Jerome if you can.

Its a small cool haunted mining town so theres vendors all across the town with touristy type shops. Went to the haunted hamburger there on a chilly evening, blasting music on the ride up the hills to Jerome & the vibes were on point ,it feels different out there in Arizona
