“I’m planning on retiring soon and was looking at the Prescott area.
What do you think of Cottonwood, AZ? It’s in between Jerome and Sedona. Is it a little too much off the beaten path?”
I have been to Cottonwood once. It has a smaller population than the Prescott area so some services may not be available that is in the Prescott area. It is also a bit warmer in the summertime.
Unfortunately EVERYBODY seems to be retiring in Prescott, it’s really gotten out of hand. Cottonwood is okay, but it doesn’t have the really cool downtown historic square of Prescott. I like the feel of Prescott better than the feel of Cottonwood. I’m a lifelong Arizona (Phoenix area) resident.
