Pinedale, AZ

Sitting around 6,500 feet elevation on the Mogollon Rim, Pinedale is a small, forested community in Navajo County just southwest of Snowflake and Taylor. Shaded by thick stands of ponderosa pines, the area enjoys four distinct seasons with mild summer temperatures and crisp mountain air. Most homes sit on generous parcels along quiet, tree-lined roads, making it appealing for anyone looking for space, privacy, and a slower pace.
