Suburban living near shopping and dining in Flagstaff
Ponderosa Trails is a suburban Flagstaff neighborhood of winding, tree-shaded residential streets packed with 21st-century single-family homes offering close access to Interstate 17. “It’s a very active community,” says Eileen Taggart, a Realtor with Re/Max Fine Properties and over 17 years of experience. “We see people walking dogs, moms and dads with their strollers, kids playing outside, walking trails—it’s a very family-oriented community.” The neighborhood is mostly residential, so residents head about 2 miles north into Flagstaff for shopping and dining. “The lots aren’t quite as big as other Flagstaff neighborhoods, so homes may be squished in a bit, but there’s more of a community development plan with neighborhood parks, walking trails and dog parks,” says Danielle Sedillo, a Flagstaff local and realtor with Village Land Shoppe.

Local kids pursue their passions at Flagstaff Unified District schools
Local kids may attend Flagstaff Unified District schools, including DeMiguel Elementary, which earns a B-plus from Niche and offers FACTS (Family and Community Teaming for Students), a before- and after-school program where students can work on homework and enjoy enrichment activities like athletics and building computer skills. Students then move on to Mount Elden Middle, rated B-minus, and the B-rated Flagstaff High, with a robust performing arts department that includes courses in theater, music theory and guitar. Students at Flagstaff High may also opt-in to dual-enrollment courses for college credit through Coconino Community College.
The A-rated Mountain School is within the neighborhood and teaches kindergarten through 5th grade; the charter school is well-known for its engaging curriculum, which includes field trips, guest speakers and project-based learning. “Mountain School has a lottery system for enrollment—so living in the neighborhood doesn’t necessarily mean you go there,” Sedillo says.
Mountain School students are proud of their mascot which is displayed just outside the office.

Residential streets here are tree- and sidewalk-lined with closely packed single-family homes and easy access to neighborhood green spaces. “We call the homes Craftsman-style—almost all of them have front porches and backyards.” Homes here range from $700,000 to $1 million and have between three and four bedrooms, attached garages and up to 7,000 square feet of lot space. Single-family homes are a part of the Ponderosa Trails Homeowners Association, which helps keep the neighborhood streets clean and charges monthly dues, typically between $150 and $200.
