Prescott neighborhoods

The best neighborhoods in Prescott, AZ

The quick answer

I break Prescott into seven areas: Williamson Valley (big views and acreage), Iron Springs (forest feel near town), the Prescott National Forest (Copper Basin, White Spar, Senator Highway), Downtown (historic and walkable), East Prescott, the Lakes & Granite Dells, and Prescott Valley. The scenery changes completely within 10 minutes, so the right area depends on how you want to live.
