Prescott Homes - Come see why Prescott Arizona is "Everybody's Hometown"
Prescott, Arizona, is often referred to as "Everybody's Hometown," which might help explain why so many people seem to be looking for Prescott homes. There's so much to see and do in the greater Prescott area; whether it's strolling through the historic downtown district (including the famous Whiskey Row), shopping, or dining in one of many excellent area restaurants - there's something here for everyone. Prescott is an outdoors-lovers paradise as well, with activities such as camping, fishing, boating, and hiking (at the scenic landmark Thumb Butte, left, for instance) in abundance. And with a temperate, yet four-seasons year-round climate, many visitors to the area over the years have found Prescott irresistible - and now call it home.
Central to Prescott's downtown area is Courthouse Square. Summer music festivals highlight the many activities that take place virtually year-round, and the band gazebo's 19th-century appearance fits in perfectly with the overall historical theme of the town square. Add to that local dance groups - from swing to square dancing to clogging - plus the classic movies which play all summer on the outdoor screen, starting at dusk, and you begin to see why Prescott attracts so many families who come to visit, and wind up staying long-term.
In Prescott's downtown Historic District, the pedestrian traffic is almost constant - so drivers be alert! Whether you're driving or walking, slow down, be courteous, and just take in the pace and feel of a bygone era. If you're a resident - or even just visiting - you can walk virtually anywhere: to antique shops, art galleries, boutiques, ice cream stores, restaurants, City Hall, the library, even the dentist! Some folks drive downtown just to saunter about, walk their dogs, or maybe do a little window-shopping and/or people-watching. For a real treat, try a ride in a carriage pulled by a Belgian draft horse around Courthouse Square!
