Rural living outside of Flagstaff
Set 8 miles south of Flagstaff, at the northern end of the Coconino National Forest, Mountainaire is a rural residential retreat, its single-family homes secluded in thickets of towering pine trees. “People are in Mountainaire because they want to be more in the woods; they don’t want to be in a subdivision," says Eileen Taggart, a Realtor with Re/Max Fine Properties and over 17 years of experience. However, says Jason Shafor, a Realtor with Exp Realty and Flagstaff local, “Residents don't want to be too far out. It’s a really easy drive into downtown Flagstaff.” Businesses are scarce here, so residents head into Flagstaff to run most errands; for easy access north to the city, Mountainaire is bordered west by Interstate 17.

Secluded single-family homes in the woods
Homes here typically range between $300,000 and $600,000 and aren't governed by homeowner’s associations. “The price point is good for first-time homebuyers and for second-time homebuyers,” Shafor says. Single-family homes with dirt-and-gravel-packed driveways dot rustic tree-lined streets; homes here are mostly single-story ranch-style from the late 20th-century or Craftsman-inspired homes built after 2000. “There are some homes that were bought and bulldozed to build newer homes, and you’ll still see older homes too,” Shafor says. “It’s a hodgepodge of different things.” One-tenth-acre lots are common, and Shafor says lot sizes here tend to be smaller than in Kachina Village. A two-bedroom ranch-style home can start at $350,000, while a split-level Craftsman-style home can cost $550,000.
