Prescott, Arizona, is conveniently located half way between Phoenix and Flagstaff in the mountains of northern Arizona.

Combine that with the charming historic downtown, the hometown atmosphere, and the surrounding beauty, you have all of the elements for a great place to retire.
ABC’S CHANNEL 15 placed Prescott in the top 10 places to retire in Arizona. Prescott Chamber of Commerce CEO David Maurer said he is not surprised that his town is on the list. “Prescott always seems to make these top 10 polls and it’s always for the same reasons – small-town atmosphere, four-season climate and quality of life,” Maurer said.

According to the Huffington Post, one of the “big reason we think you should consider Arizona for retirement is taxes. When living on fixed incomes, it’s important you make sure you are living in a state where your money will last and the taxes are in your favor. Arizona is one of the most tax friendly states and they don’t tax your Social Security check, that matters. (About half of the states in the US do tax Social Security.)”
