Residential community close to downtown Flagstaff

“Coconino Estates is one of the most sought-after Flagstaff neighborhoods,” says Jason Shafor, sales agent and manager of RE/MAX Fine Properties, who grew up in the area. “You can literally ride your bike from here to downtown, which is only 2 miles, and it’s close to schools.” This community is mainly residential, but several locally owned shops and restaurants are set just outside the neighborhood. A public park and urban trail sit nearby, and neighbors like to decorate for the holidays. “I’ll drive my boys through here at Christmas time because homeowners go all out with their lights,” says Shafor.

Coconino Estates is a quiet neighborhood with great views of the San Francisco Peaks.

Ranch-style homes from the 1950s and ‘60s

“This is one of Flagstaff’s oldest communities, with homes built between the 1950s and ‘60s,” says Shafor. Most of these are ranch-style (some L-shaped) with up to four bedrooms, narrow driveways leading to one-car garages, and manicured front yards set on quarter-acre lots; prices range from $600,000 to $870,000. Mature pine and oak trees dot front yards, with the occasional hammock lofting between trunks, while wooden fences enclose backyards. Sidewalks line most residential streets here. “When the homes here were built, they had clay pipes connected to the sewer system, and tree roots can puncture those pipes. So, if you buy a house here, you may need to get the pipes looked at to see if there’s damage.”

The first day is the First Responder Chili Challenge, while day two has the Best Restaurant Chili in Flagstaff competition; winners are announced at the end of each day. All proceeds benefit Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Flagstaff.

Yoga in the park, a private pool and an observatory

Shafor has fond childhood memories of the neighborhood's 1-acre Jim Cullen Memorial Park, where he'd go swimming in the summer-seasonal pool; the park also has open, grassy space for kids to run around and adults to participate in group yoga sessions. A stretch of the 56-mile Flagstaff Urban Trails System (FUTS) runs beside the neighborhood's Fort Valley Road, popular with hikers and bikers. The Lowell Observatory sits about 3 miles southwest; local school groups come here to look through the powerful telescopes, and during summer camps, kids can build rockets or recreate the solar system. The Arizona Snowbowl ski resort sits on the western slope of Mount Humphreys (the tallest point of the San Francisco Peaks) 12 miles away, and offers summer and winter activities.
