Prescott AZ is a nice town. Bisbee mentioned above is a small town at the end of everything; only ways in or out involves long drives down two lane roads. Did I mention it was a SMALL town?

Pinetop area is where people from Phoenix have their second/summer homes, cooler, with dustings of snow, but nearby. Phoenix area is in a bowl...hot. Tucson is higher, marginally cooler.

Really comes down to what YOU want. Drive everywhere, walk about, restaurants, isolation, like-minded folk, or mix of young old artsy fanatics.
