Outdoor destination with mountain views and part-time residents
“Two years ago, snow drifts reached the rooflines of Fort Valley homes,” says Cody Bauer, Realtor with The Foundation Group at Best Flagstaff Homes Realty, who’s been selling in the area for five years. “If they knew someone with a tractor, they asked them to come plow, otherwise, locals were stuck until it melted.” This is a common occurrence here, as suburban Fort Valley sits close to the base of the San Francisco Peaks, 8 miles from downtown Flagstaff. The neighborhood’s also found inside a massive ponderosa pine forest with miles of public trails carved within. Overall, the draws to living here are the landscape and location. “If you want aerial mountain views, more privacy and proximity to Snowbowl, this is the place to be.”

Mountain view lookout, hiking trails and Snowbowl activities
Humphreys Peak Lookout sits just off Highway 180 in the neighborhood’s eastern end, with views of the peaks and a parking lot for about 10 to 15 cars; over 25 miles of dirt-packed hiking trails weave through the surrounding pine forest here, and cross-country skiers and snowshoers can enjoy the winter powder. Paved and unpaved paths – part of the Flagstaff Urban Trails System – parallel Highway 180, leading south toward Eva Marshall Elementary School, continuing through downtown. “Residents don’t really go to neighboring parks because they’re a bit of a drive,” says Bauer, “and they kind of have their own park to play in their front yards, but they’re close to Snowbowl.” Sitting roughly 8 miles north, Snowbowl is found on the western slope of Mount Humphreys, Arizona’s tallest point, open for winter skiing and summer tubing.
Your kids will love the games and activities at Snowbowl during the summer.

Craftsman- and ranch-style homes with no HOA
Gravel, pine tree-lined roads lead to semi-custom-built Craftsman- and ranch-style homes in the neighborhood’s northern and southern ends. Built between the 1980s and early 2000s, these homes typically feature white or brown wood siding, rectangular picture windows for mountain views, pitched roofs shadowing front porches and stone-edged flower beds. Three-bedroom, 1,500 square-foot ranch-styles on up to 2 acres here range from $700,000 to $990,000, while five-bedroom, 4,500 square-foot Craftsman-styles on up to 10 acres range from $1 million to $3.1 million, the latter with heated flooring, private spas and covered decks. Many properties here have space for sheds and RV parking, and with no homeowners associations, homeowners can rent out their properties.

During this two-day event, local, national and international filmmakers showcase their sci-fi/fantasy, comedic, dramatic and animated films, afterwards hosting question and answer sessions with the audience, workshops and networking opportunities.

Huge biscuits, pancakes and chile pork burritos
Fort Valley residents have to leave the neighborhood to run errands and dine. About 8 miles southeast off Historic Route 66, fast-casual Mike and Ronda’s Restaurant: The Place, a local favorite since 1994, serves huge breakfast biscuits – some so big locals say they can’t finish them in one sitting – and pancakes with whipped cream; lunch specials include fried chicken sandwiches with fries. A few blocks east, skeleton paintings adorn the bright red-orange walls of family-owned MartAnne’s Burrito Palace; here, diners can enjoy a green chile pork and cheese burrito with beans and guacamole. The closest grocery options are within 10 miles southeast, including Safeway and the family-owned Bashas’, and big-box stores like Walmart and Target sit about 12 miles southeast; the Flagstaff Mall, 11 miles east, has department stores like JCPenney and Dillard’s.

Locals are mostly car-dependent
Interstates 40 and 17 sit about 10 miles south, while Historic Route 66 is about 16 miles east. Highway 180 (West Fort Vally Road) is the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare, leading roughly 8 miles southeast to downtown Flagstaff. Mountain Line Public Transit buses travel the eastern part of the neighborhood, while Amtrak trains depart from the Visitors Center station downtown. Residents can be seen walking along tightly packed gravel roads here, and bike lanes parallel Highway 180 to the east; most use their own cars for transportation. Flagstaff Medical Center sits about 7 miles southeast, while Flagstaff Pulliam Airport is 14 miles south.
Flagstaff rests at an approximate elevation of 7,000 feet.
Fort Valley residents are proud of the historical Route 66 that runs right through town.
