Ash Fork Houses for Sale

Ash Fork, a small community in Williams, Arizona, is located 50 miles from both Flagstaff and Prescott. With a population of fewer than 400 people, this historic town originated as a quarry settlement and railroad hub along Route 66. Despite past fires and the decline of Route 66's prominence due to Interstate 40, Ash Fork remains a quiet village with homes priced significantly lower than the state average. Daily life centers around Park Avenue, where residents enjoy meals at the Ranch House Café and drinks at the Oasis Lounge. Essential shopping is available at Family Dollar and the Corral Market mini-mart. The One 9 Fuel Stop is popular for its pizza and breakfast sandwiches. Ash Fork's rich history is showcased at the Ash Fork Route 66 Museum, which highlights the town's evolution from an Old West settlement to a highway community. The town's historical significance is further marked by its connection to former Arizona Governor Jack Williams. Although the town lacks a park system, the nearby 40-acre A Spark in the Dark Campground offers a natural retreat with impressive nighttime skies. Education in Ash Fork is highly rated, with Ash Fork Elementary School and Ash Fork Middle School both receiving top marks. The high school, awarded the AZ Ed Foundation’s “A+ School of Excellence” title, emphasizes strong college and career readiness programs. Ash Fork's location along Historic Route 66 and Interstate 40 provides easy access to nearby cities, with Kingman 96 miles away, Flagstaff 52 miles away, and Prescott 53 miles away.
