Prescott Guide discusses why you should retire in Prescott

Prescott Guide describes why Prescott is Everybody's Hometown and a great place to retire.
Retirement is the time to slow down and escape the hustle and bustle of the 9-to-5 work week. Unfortunately, living in a crowded city or suburb does not typically feel laid back; in fact, it sometimes feels like you haven’t retired at all. Always waiting in traffic and standing in long lines at the supermarket keeps everyone on edge, including yourself. So where can you live that will let you experience the retirement lifestyle? Prescott Guide discusses why you should retire in Prescott.

Small Town
Retirement is about slowing down. A small town like Prescott allows you to stop and enjoy your surroundings. A simple task like driving doesn’t feel like such a chore. You may meet a few new friends when you take a stroll around the Courthouse Square.

Active Community
Based on the number of community activities and festivals, you may not guess the average age of Prescott residents is 55. There is something for everyone. If you are interested in the performing arts, you can take in a show at one of the two theaters in town. If getting together with the local community is high on your list of things to do, Prescott’s Courthouse Square hosts community events nearly every night of the week during the summertime. If you are feeling energetic, you may want to attend one of the annual festivals. There are music festivals, beer festivals, and food truck festivals.

Weather
If you enjoy being outdoors, Prescott’s temperate climate is hard to beat. With over 300 days of sunshine every year, you have the opportunity to experience the beauty of nature year ‘round.
