not sure where you're looking in N AZ, or what kind of budget you have for house/property, but if you've nothing against the Show-Low/Pinetop area, St Johns, and over that way you might find something more affordable than Flagstaff/Prescott/Payson area. Especially if you have nothing against relatively nice newer mfg homes.
Sure is a nice area up there, can get a bit chilly in winter but was never "hot" hot, 90F was a heat wave, 95F a rarity, at least when I was there around 2000-2001.
I'd find you a place around here, lot's of reasonably priced places, but then again............it's still in Commiefornia.
Good luck with your search, I'm sure you'll find something.
Show Low is where I have been searching for the last five years. You have excellent taste. While I cannot afford the nice pine woods, the people of Taylor and Snowflake are a quality lot. I am by no means wealthy and will lose a lot in the divorce, but if I can get a toe hold there, I would be happy as long as my kids are accepted and not bullied for their father's failings.
The weather is good. The people are better. There are a lot of veterans in that town. Utah has lesser state taxes.

Great choices.
Taylor and Snowflake were "very Mormon" when I lived in the area. Had a friend there that was a RE agent and rancher. Let me use his ranch house out to the east of town when I had a tag out that way. Warned me of the folks nearby out there in the "cedars" to stay away from.
The towns are nice enough tho, and close enough to Show-Low for shopping and such. You may have to shake off some missionary kids though, they might be at your door frequently.

Missionaries tend to be polite and therefore welcome.
Cedar City Utah is a strong number two. The prices there are reasonable. It all depends on how the girls will be treated by their peers. Most people leave me alone and that is a good thing. I do not think I will be "red flagged" for carrying my rifle case from the truck to the house.
Hardly, in either place. Especially Snowflake..............Maybe questioned about "What ya' huntin' with neighbor?"

Got a high school buddy moved to Texas about 10 years ago. All he does now is bitch about Kommiefornians moving to Texas. Except of course when he is trying incessantly to get me to moved there.

Be interesting on how your girls adjust and fit in if you make the move to Cedar City. I lived in UT for 9 years. I am not a member of the LDS church. One of the friendliest place I've been, but one of the hardest to make true friends. It really weighed on my wife.
I hear it’s getting harder and harder to get a BJ in Cali these days with all them cock suckers moving to Montana!! ....just joking of course, there are some good people in CA , it’s just that they are outnumbered by dumbsheit liberals.....

I'd be interested in your take on that, if you're inclined to elaborate.
I haven't found that any place has a monopoly on friendliness, though many seem to claim so.

I lived there for 9 years and got along well with everyone. Even at the end, did not have a friend that would call me or that I could call to do something on the weekend. I'm far from anti-social. My kids were very young, so did not get incorporated into social circles that way. May have been different had we stayed longer or I got more involved in 'things', dunno. Co-workers, neighbors etc, were all very friendly.
Thanks. I can relate, but in our case we're older, family far away, and everybody seems to be wrapped up with their own lives, family, jobs, and of course for many, their church. Not an uncommon situation for retirees who relocate.

Stupidity has its way, while its cousin, evil, runs rampant.
I believe that I won't be bothered by and social isolation. I have been shunned by most Californians my whole adult life. I "fit in" here and in the Army but not in the land of endless strip malls, greed, and hypocrisy. I suppose eventually I will get lonely but as long as there is the 'Fire and the occasional phone call to an old military friend, I'll get by as I always have.
Getting outside and not having to drive several hours to escape a megapolis will be liberating. Finding an area that I can fly the flag without being considered a domestic terrorist will be great.
Hmmm... Do you know how many Okies came to California during the Dust Bowl of the late 30's - 40's?
They made a movie about it. Check it out. Route 66 ran both ways

Yes my mothers family went to California at the beginning of the war used a black market driver to get out there drove straight through. Grandfather supported them by working as a book keeper at a ship yard. Mom hated it said people treated them pretty poorly and she had to catch three buses to get to school every day. After the war they all came home.
California is a beautiful state too bad there are so many communists there. Wish you guys could figure out how to drive them all to the ocean.
I do wish they'd settle in NYC, or in the hurricane zone.
Or TX.
Insane doesn't even touch it here. Latest numbers I've heard were 28,000 new residents in the Flathead.
If the internet would crash, and we got a bad winter it would be amazing. Nobody could "work" from home, and they'd freeze their puzzies shut going outside.
Montana seems to be where Colorado was about 30 years ago.
No, Montana already elected a democratic senator. They are moving downward fast. As for as Ranger a green is concerned , he would be a good addition to any state. Hasbeen
