Shopping and dining destination with different housing styles
Downtown Flagstaff sits in Northern Arizona about two hours away from Phoenix, surrounded by North America’s largest ponderosa pine forest. Once a railroad town in the 1880s, it now features restored storefronts housing restaurants and gift shops near the intersection of Historic Route 66 and Highway 180. “Folks here are just a short walk or bike ride away from everything they need, including public transportation,” says Jason Shafor, sales agent and manager of RE/MAX Fine Properties. “And they have a variety of housing options to choose from.” Residents of this urban neighborhood also have the unique opportunity to look up at the night sky and see the Milky Way; according to Kevin Schindler, historian for Flagstaff's Lowell Observatory, the city limits light pollution. Nearby community houses of worship include the Episcopal Church of the Epiphany and the Flagstaff Indian Bible Church.
