An established neighborhood close to skiing, hiking and Downtown Flagstaff
While many Flagstaff neighborhoods are part-time destinations for Phoenix residents, Cheshire, located 4 miles north of downtown, is considered desirable for primary homeowners. “Cheshire is one of the most popular communities among people local to Flagstaff,” says longtime Flagstaff resident Eileen Taggart, an agent with RE/MAX Fine Properties. “A lot of homes are sold amongst friends.” In addition to being close to downtown, Cheshire attracts buyers with its proximity to natural areas and outdoor recreation opportunities. “It’s close to the mountains and Snowbowl, which is our big ski area," Taggart says. “If you drive through, you’re going to see a lot of bikes, boats and kayaks. It’s got a very outdoorsy Flagstaff vibe. If you keep going north on Fort Valley Road, you’ll eventually end up at the Grand Canyon, so there’s lots of hiking trails along the way.”
Walking the area trails of Cheshire is a common thing for residents.
Head to downtown Flagstaff for an evening of fun and enjoy the vibrant nightlife.
