Kachina Village is a popular neighborhood sitting seven miles south of Flagstaff, Arizona. The neighborhood measures less than two square miles and has a total population of fewer than 3,000 residents. Developed initially as a second home community in the early to mid-1960s, Kachina Village was originally called “The Kachina Country Club Village.” However, in the 1970s, the country club dissolved, and the neighborhood has been known as simply “Kachina Village” ever since.
So why is such a small mountain neighborhood so popular with first- and second-home buyers? The median cost of a home in Kachina Village is $435,300 (in July 2021), while the median home value in Flagstaff is $600,000 (in July 2021). This makes Kachina Village a desirable location for Flagstaff employees or for the remote workforce who don’t want to pay a higher price for a house within city limits, but still want to enjoy the small mountain town.
