Rural living 50 miles from the Grand Canyon

About 30 miles northwest of Flagstaff and 45 miles south of the Grand Canyon, the rural, sparsely developed community of Red Lake offers plenty of space, privacy and open land, as well as access to 5G internet and Starlink. “This is a beautiful place if you want to live and work more remotely," says area resident Deanna Toenjes, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Mountain Desert. Toenjes notes that phone reception here is actually better here than areas closer to Williams and Flagstaff. Shopping and dining are about 10 miles away in the small city of Williams, and Red Lake itself earns an overall CAP Index Crime Score of 1 out of 10, lower than the national average score of 4.

The Grand Canyon National Park is less than an hour north of Red Lake.

Homes on acreage at a lower price point than Flagstaff

"It's less expensive to live here than in Flagstaff, by far," Toenjes says, where the median home price floats above $800,000. Homes throughout Red Lake date as far back as the late 20th century and construction has continued throughout the 21st century. Home prices in Red Lake depend largely on acreage, floor plan and renovations. Manufactured homes range in size from less than 1,000 square feet to over 3,000 square feet, and go for anywhere from $300,000 to $500,000. Ranch-style homes with anywhere from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet range from $400,000 to roughly $800,000. Custom-built luxury estates often have sprawling floor plans and feature barns and large detached RV garages; prices range from around $900,000 to upwards of $1.5 million. Many properties are zoned for agricultural use, which allows for small-scale farming, and residents commonly keep horses and other livestock.

While the area does have electricity, it doesn't have its own water, so homes here are equipped with water storage tanks. “It’s mostly water-haul because wells are very expensive to dig out this way, since you have to go so deep,” says area resident Ashley Householder, a Realtor with Realty ONE Group Mountain Desert. Homeowners may also need vehicles equipped with 4-wheel drive. “There aren’t any paved roads, everything is dirt,” Householder says, adding that while some roads are maintained by the county, most are not.

Most homes in Red Lake are on at least an acre of land, and sometimes upward of 20 acres.

Surrounded by the great outdoors with family fun parks in Williams

With wide open spaces and access to forested wilderness, Red Lake offers ideal terrain for hiking, horseback riding and ATVing. While the community's namesake Red Lake is now dry, Toenjes says that Kaibab Lake, set just north of Williams, is popular for trout and crappie fishing.

Also in Williams, the family-friendly Canyon Coaster Adventure Park has a mile-long alpine coaster track, and downhill tubing in both summer and winter. A few miles east, the 160-acre Bearizona Wildlife Park offers a three-mile drive through the natural habitats of North American animals like black bears, wolves and bison. Community parks in Williams include Cureton Park, which has a playground, baseball fields, basketball courts and a barbeque area.

Bearizona Wildlife Park offers up-close encounters with animals in their natural habitat.

Grocery shopping and restaurants 10 miles away in Williams

Pine Country Restaurant is a cozy staple for country-style comfort foods and homemade pies, while Cruiser’s Route 66 Cafe is a nod to the area’s history as a stop along the famous “Mother Road” with an Americana themed, diner-style interior.
