Prescott Valley in the Central Arizona Highlands
Prescott Valley is a town of about 42,200 residents in Yavapai County, sitting at an elevation of roughly 5,100 feet in the high desert grasslands between the Bradshaw Mountains and Mingus Mountain. Originally established in the 1960s as a residential subdivision marketed to retirees, the town incorporated in 1978 and has since grown into the largest municipality in Yavapai County. Summers are milder than the Phoenix metro, with highs typically in the 90s rather than the 110s that bake the Valley floor.
The Findlay Toyota Center (formerly Tim's Toyota Center) is a 5,100-seat arena that hosts concerts, rodeos, and minor-league sports. The Prescott Valley Entertainment District, developed around the arena, includes restaurants and retail. Highway 69 connects the town to Prescott, about seven miles to the west, and continues east toward Interstate 17 at Cordes Junction. The Fain Park complex provides athletic fields, an amphitheater, and a veterans memorial.
The town's growth has brought chain retailers and grocery stores to the area along Highway 69, transforming what was once a quiet subdivision into a regional commercial center. The Civic Center complex on Civic Circle houses town government offices and hosts community events.
Yavapai College operates a campus in town, and the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus in nearby Prescott draws aviation and engineering students to the region.
