Living between a city and a national forest
On the western frontier of Prescott and in the shadow of Thumb Butte, Forest Trails puts residents halfway between a bustling downtown area and the natural splendor of the Prescott National Forest. Realtor Rose Gowen with Keller Williams Arizona Realty says, “You can find amazing views of Thumb Butte, the main hill that Prescott is known for. Depending on where you are, you could have a massive view of that rock, and it’s just overpowering and overwhelming.” People come to Forest Trails for all different reasons, but most come for the mixture of nature and urban access that this neighborhood offers.

Commanding views of Prescott from local parks
Forest Trails is immersed in nature, with the Prescott National Forest forming most back yards. Petroglyph Point, located at the entrance to the neighborhood, has long been a local attraction both due to the abundance of stones inscribed with Native American artwork and the panoramic view that this overlook offers. The most famous rock feature in Prescott, however, is Thumb Butte, which towers over Forest Trails. This finger-shaped formation is the centerpiece of the Thumb Butte Recreation Area, a vast expanse of forested trails frequented by hikers; over 3,000 visitors walk this path each month. The 1.75-mile trail leads to a viewpoint of the Forest Trails neighborhood. For more laid-back recreation, the Don Myers Memorial Park lets families and friends play basketball or tennis, as well as ample green space for picnicking.

Custom builds with creative designs
Forest Trails is a relatively new neighborhood of Prescott; nearly all of its homes were built during the 21st century, many of them in the late 2010s. What shapes Forest Trails’ unique appeal is the creativity put into each home’s design. Gowen says, “Homes are custom-built and sit up and down hills. The homes can be up into the millions.” While most homes are single-story residences, they vary in aesthetics, with some featuring Spanish influences and others sporting Craftsman styles. Lush front yards offer color to the Sierra Prieta hills on which this neighborhood was developed, and trees provide shade over driveways and sidewalks. Forest Trails’ custom builds can fetch prices between $600,000 and $1.7 million, with differences in acreage and home size contributing to this wide range.
