What are the best places to live in Flagstaff?

My partner and I are moving from New York to Flagstaff for work. We want to buy a home in an area with lots of outdoor spaces for our dogs. What are the best places to look?

Finding a neighborhood with plenty of outdoor spaces for your dogs sounds like a great plan! In
Flagstaff
, the best places are live are:
  • Kachina Village: Located just 10 minutes outside of Flagstaff, this is a great area for people who love the outdoors. Although it feels remote, you’re close to plenty of amenities, and houses are affordable. There are also many trails brimming with ponderosa pine trees and large game animals.
  • University Heights: Just south of Northern Arizona University, University Heights is a neighborhood with lots of single-family homes, townhomes, and a few apartments and condos. It’s a highly desirable area of Flagstaff and is one of the best family-friendly areas.
  • Pine Canyon: With a private golf course, modern craftsman-style homes, and panoramic mountain views, Pine Canyon has lots to offer. Whatever time of home you’re looking for—single-family, townhomes, or custom estate lots—there are many choices here.
  • Downtown: One of the most historic and centrally located districts in Flagstaff, downtown is great for people looking for an older home with a close-knit community and an active social life. There’s ample shopping, dining, and entertainment, with easy access to the urban trail system.
  • Cheshire: Just off Highway 180, before you head to the Grand Canyon, you’ll find the lovely neighborhood of Cheshire. It’s close to several National Forest trails and downtown Flagstaff but still has types of homes at an affordable price.
