Prescott College, Yavapai College , and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University are all located here. Artists' fairs, musical concerts and Western events are held throughout the year, most notably on the Fourth of July weekend when the World's Oldest Rodeo takes place. The picturesque Courthouse Plaza is the focus of the downtown area, and the site of many of these events. It is a shaded oasis lying in the midst of many new shops and restaurants that have recently been installed in the beautiful old territorial buildings. The nearby high country offers unlimited opportunity for camping, hunting, fishing, mountain biking, cross-country skiing or nearly any other outdoor activity.
Crime is rare and quality of life is very high.
It's an ideal place to live or to visit.
