Why Sedona?:
Voted by USA Today n.1 best place to live in America, Sedona is a resort town. It has the warmth of a small town and the sophistication of a bigger city (with 90 minute drive-time proximity to Phoenix/Scottsdale area and to international Sky Harbor airport).
At 1370 m elevation, Sedona sits in the upper margin of the Sonoran Desert. Its massive red rock formations make it a unique setting of spectacular natural beauty. The land is dotted with canyons, creeks, mountains and forests and it is blessed with four mild seasons.
One of the elite Western communities, like Aspen and Santa Fe, it is a rich art center, with its 80 art galleries, its Independent Film Festival, the Jazz on the Rocks festival and over 3 million visitors a year. Sedona was already popular in the forties and fifties as Hollywood used it for many Western movie location shooting.
Outdoor enthusiasts find plenty to do: hiking, biking, golfing at the top rated championship courses and at the exclusive Seven Canyons Tom Weiskopf-designed track.
Predictions say that in Sedona vacant land zoned for residential will be sold out in the next 10 years. Its geographical condition makes the case of land scarcity as Sedona sits at the center of a natural amphitheater surrounded by mountains, an island of private property surrounded by national forest land.
