Quiet Places in Arizona To Retire On A Budget 2024

If you are looking for quiet places to retire in Arizona on a budget then this Arizona vlog is for you. We highlight some of the more peaceful affordable places across Arizona for you to live. Some of these places include Yuma, Bullhead City, Tubac, Bisbee and some Northern Arizona. Most of this list really seems to focus around Southern Arizona.
Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

People need to consider deeded RV lots. You don't want to put your mobile home in a park where you pay rent, only to see the park bought out by a corporation that jacks up the rent. And a mobile home isn't really mobile without incurring a lot of expense.

[@yesterdayfortoday592]

Great point It has happened in the Tampa section of Florida

[@bobhall4588]

Yep. Got the tee shirt.

[@retirementbootcampoff-grid237]

Mobile home parks and full-time trailer parks are very profitable. And they sell for millions so only rich, ambitious individuals/investor groups (like Warren Buffett) can afford them. Warren's made a lot of money off the backs of (poorer) folks.

We like in Kingman. A great place to live and retire! It’s 3300 feet so cooler than Ph. But you can get to the mountains to cool off or Bullhead City in the winter to warm up in an hour. Cheap housing too.

Yuma, Bullhead city, anywhere in that low elevation western part of the state is crazy hot in the summer. Anywhere above 4000 feet is relatively comfortable, and that would be most of the state. I love Arizona, retired here near Portal in the SE corner at about 4,500 feet. It's nice. Don't even consider retiring here until you look at the elevation and summer temps.

[@LLYMYNT]

I love southern Arizona too, I always thought Sierra Vista and Bisbee would be good alternatives whenever I get to retire because I’m a blue collar worker and mid century old so I got a little more to go. 😊

Last 2 winters we have been looking for a 6 month home for winter. Have been to all of these area's and only cross off Kingman, and Bullhead City. Green Valley south, Bisbee to Douglas, Lake Havasu possibly, Miami, Globe, Claypool. Don't want traffic jams, endless subdivisions. Have a good impression of Yuma.

Kingman, AZ population is close to 35,000 but the city limits don't include a lot of the city. as it extends north so it's more than 35K. I don't suggest anyone move there as the city has a lot of poverty and an overwhelming sense of depression encompasses the people there. The city is losing retailers and the growth is mostly in track homes that appease Californian investors.

I had been looking at relocating to Kingman from CA, but after visiting there I would recommend people from CA either staying in CA or relocate to Oregon, Washington, New York, Canada, some place other than Kingman or Arizona. It gets hot and will affect their makeup and plastic surgery. CA's governor is doing a bang up job signing new laws which directly affect your freedoms, safety and livelihood. CA is a place where your tax dollars go to help fund stuff like the California Highspeed Rail, one of these centuries it may actually make it to Los Angeles, but it will never see a profit.
