About Student Housing in Prescott
Prescott is a small Arizona mountain city home to Prescott College, Yavapai College, and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, making it a multi-campus college town with an outdoor-oriented character. The rental market is smaller and less competitive than Phoenix-area cities, and rents are moderate by Arizona standards. The historic Whiskey Row downtown and the proximity to Prescott National Forest give the city an identity beyond its universities — it draws students who want a less urban environment with access to outdoor recreation.
