Wilhoit, AZ

Wilhoit sits along Highway 89 about fifteen miles south of Prescott, in the quiet foothills between the low desert and the mountain pines. The town started in the 1920s as a roadside garage for highway crews, and it still keeps that easygoing, small-community feel today. It attracts people looking for starry nights, room to spread out, and lower housing costs within an easy drive of Prescott. For school-age kids, younger grades go to nearby Kirkland, while high school students commute up into Prescott Unified.
