A rural lifestyle in Chino Valley, Arizona
Chino Valley is in the middle of Arizona's high desert and situated at the base of Bald Hill and Sullivan Buttes. Along with amazing views, the city has three big assets: space, privacy and, surprisingly, water. Access to water and a lack of homeowners associations across the city lead to a self-sufficient atmosphere in Chino Valley. “People that want a more rural lifestyle would fit in with Chino Valley,” says Bryan Turner, a Realtor with RE/MAX Mountain Properties who’s sold homes in the city. Homeowners can use their property as they see fit, without HOA restrictions or city ordinances. Even though the city is in the desert, it experiences all four seasons, which is a draw for those trying to escape the Arizona heat.
When looking for a home in Chino Valley, you can be as close or as far from your neighbors as you want to be.
Some custom homes can be found in and around Wineglass Acres.

Homeowners have independence in Chino Valley
The median price of a home in Chino Valley is $550,000, which is $130,000 higher than the national average of $420,000. Prices are also about $100,000 lower than Prescott, and Chino Valley properties usually start with 1 to 2 acres. The city was built over the region’s aquifer, meaning private property will likely have access to well water. “The [water] quality leaves a little bit to be desired. It needs to be sent through a filter,” says Turner. “But it’s certainly not something people aren’t used to here," says Turner. Housing prices have increased by about $150,000 since 2022. Ranch-style and manufactured homes are common throughout the city, along with custom homes selling for up to $900,000. Neighborhoods like Paulden do not have HOAs, and residents have the freedom to homestead. Horses, livestock and other animals are a common sight on properties throughout the city. “The land with water makes it easier to raise animals,” says Turner. 4-H clubs are also popular in Chino because raising animals is so common.
Those looking for larger homes should look in the southern end of Paulden.
