Escape to the Cool White Mountains

Hello to all of you out there suffering in the heat of the summer!

Just over 4 years ago I left Tucson to move to an area that I always dreamed of retiring to. Although I am years away from enjoying my golden years (I'm barely over 40 and I will stay that way!) the opportunity presented itself and I made the quick decision to leave Tucson and move to Lakeside, AZ. For those of you not familiar with Lakeside, it is in an area called the White Mountains which sits in Northeastern Arizona.

Yes, we do have mountains here. We have four seasons. We even get snow in the winter. No, I don't live in Flagstaff but it's only 2 hours North of here. I used to go visit the White Mountains when I had a second home up here. I used to hate leaving to go back home. Now I live here. The pace of life is slow. (Some people think it's too slow, but they can go back to where they came from!). We are on "Mountain" time so when someone says that they'll be over on Monday to fix something you need to clarify which Monday they are talking about. It's the kind of area that when you are driving on the road and someone honks at you it's because they know you and are waving their whole hand at you.

I am a realtor in the area and love what I do and where I live. If you or someone you know is thinking of buying or selling in the White Mountain area, I would love to help. Right now Arizona is experiencing quite a few home that are in foreclosure. We are not quite in that position up here, but we are starting to see our fair share of bank owned homes and short sales. This is an excellent opportunity to buy a second home or an investment property. I have several of our bank owned homes that are currently on the market listed on my website at http://www.WhiteMountainForeclosedProperties.com.

I would be happy to talk to you about these types of homes, questions on the area, or even what there is to do up here. For those of you in the "hotter" areas, I would be happy to let you know what are temperatures are like….We rarely hit 100 in the hottest of summer!

Thank you for stopping by and be sure to drop me a line.
