Located in the heart of Mohave County halfway between Phoenix and Las Vegas is Kingman, an Arizona community that has seen a population surge over the past few years. “We had a ton of people move here from California, because, for the exception of a couple of weeks, we never really closed down for COVID,” says Kathy Helton of RE/MAX Prestige Properties, who has been active in Kingman for more than two decades. “I sold more homes in 2021 than I did in 2005 when the market was at its highest point, because people wanted to come here and go out and do things.” Kingman has a population of about 35,000 people, an increase of 10% compared to the 2020 census. Lower taxes and insurance rates compared to California and other parts of Arizona bring people here, and the area sits along the longest active remanent of Historic Route 66, now Interstate 40. Many eateries and shops harken back to the road’s glory days. New residents are typically retirement age, and they stay active with plenty of hiking trails, parks and museums in the area. People of working age can easily commute to Kingman Regional Medical Center, the largest employer in town.

Centennial Park and the Centennial Park Community Center are the epicenter of recreation in Kingman.

Home prices below Arizona average
Homes in Kingman are largely manufactured homes or ranch-style houses with Mediterranean influences. These stucco homes have tile roofs and xeriscaping instead of grass lawns, and most of them are located on quiet, paved streets in the Golden Valley and New Kingman-Butler neighborhoods. Other parts of Kingman have manufactured homes sitting off dusty, desolate roads relying on septic. Homes in Kingman have seen a 16% overall increase in price over the past five years. Manufactured homes can start at $40,000, while single-family houses with acres of land can range up to $800,000. Most are in the $200,000 to $400,000 range, lower than the national median home price of $416,700. “Most of these homes don’t have an HOA and are priced lower than any other city within hours,” Helton says. “You could get a 2,000 square foot property on half an acre for under $400,000, which is impossible in California.”

There are no major shopping malls in Kingman, but strip malls throughout town have big box retailers like Walmart, Safeway and Dollar Tree. “We have Home Depot, Ross and the big news is that we’re getting a Marshalls,” says Helton. “If you’re a big shopper, this might not be your favorite place.”

Parking decks will allow commuters to easily leave their car before strolling along the main drag to explore breweries, record stores and dessert shops. Some effects of the plan are already being felt. “Wine bars, breweries and more keep going up on the downtown strip,” says Helton. “They’ve started having street fairs, art openings and more downtown, which is really special.”
