Why Prescott Valley Is One of the Best Places to Retire in Arizona
When you picture retirement in Arizona, what comes to mind? Sunshine, mountain views, and a community where you actually know your neighbors? If so, Prescott Valley might just be the place you’ve been looking for.
More and more retirees are choosing this Northern Arizona town over the usual big-name destinations — and for good reason. Whether you’re seeking an active lifestyle, a stronger sense of community, or just a more relaxed pace of life, Prescott Valley offers something special.
Let’s explore what makes it one of the best places to retire in Arizona, and how Mulberry Farms fits perfectly into that picture.
A Town That Feels Like Home
Prescott Valley blends small-town friendliness with the conveniences of a modern city. Unlike some larger retirement hubs where life can feel fast-paced and impersonal, this is a place where you’ll be greeted by name, where community still matters, and where your daily routine is a little more enjoyable.
Need to run errands? You’re just minutes from stores like Fry’s and Costco. Looking for an evening out? Catch a concert at the Findlay Toyota Center or dinner at one of the many locally loved restaurants. Prescott Valley also offers top-rated medical centers nearby — something that becomes more important as we age.
That rare combination of charm and convenience is one of the reasons retirees are flocking here. And if you’re living at Mulberry Farms, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy it all.
A Climate That Works with You, Not Against You
Unlike the triple-digit heat you’ll find in southern Arizona; Prescott Valley offers a milder four-season climate. Summers are warm but not scorching, winters bring cool mornings without the snowbanks, and spring and fall are absolutely beautiful.
This more moderate weather opens the door to year-round outdoor living, which is a huge part of the lifestyle here. Think morning walks under blue skies, patio lunches, evening bike rides, or impromptu chats with neighbors as you pass by.
At Mulberry Farms, staying active is easy thanks to amenities like The Great Mile — a dedicated walking path that winds through the community, encouraging movement, conversation, and connection.
A Community That Feels Like… a Community
You’re not just looking for a home. You’re looking for your people — and that’s where Prescott Valley really shines.
From local events and farmers markets to vintage car shows, craft fairs, and outdoor concerts, the town makes it easy to get involved. There’s a rhythm to life here that naturally brings people together.
At Mulberry Farms, that community feeling is built into the design. The Great Barn acts as a true gathering hub — hosting everything from happy hours and book clubs to live music and holiday celebrations. Residents often say it’s not just a place they live… it’s a place they belong.
Smart, Affordable Living for This Stage of Life
While many retirement destinations in Arizona come with a hefty price tag, Prescott Valley offers excellent value. You’ll find lower housing costs, no state tax on Social Security income, and a more affordable everyday lifestyle compared to metro areas like Scottsdale or Tucson.
And here's where Mulberry Farms really stands out — unlike most 55+ communities, our homes are rental-only. That means:
-No property taxes
-No long-term commitment
-No surprise maintenance costs
Every home is a detached single-family rental with its own private yard, garage, and modern features — giving you the independence of homeownership without the hassle.
