The History of Swiss Manor

Over time, it’s become a favorite for outdoor enthusiasts thanks to direct trail access, including the popular Pipeline Trail.
If Swiss Manor was a Streaming Series, it Would Be…
Northern Exposure because it is based on a small, close‑knit mountain town with amazing trail access, vibrant locals, beautiful forests, and communal spirit.
If Swiss Manor was a Superhero, it would be…
Wolverine. Close to trails and ready to escape into the mountains at any moment.
If Swiss Manor was an Animal, it would be…
A bird. There are so many types. Most birds like to live up high in the trees. They have tons of character, come in various shapes, sizes, and colors. This is also the case with the homes in Swiss Manor.
If Swiss Manor was a Food, it would be…
Fondue, ya know, melted Swiss Cheese with meats & vegetables and bread to dip in, some fine white wine and good times!
If Swiss Manor was a professional athlete, it would be…
Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant in the draft, but turns out he’s the clutch performer no one saw coming. That’s Swiss Manor in a nutshell. It may not have the gated entrances or glossy brochures, but it shows up every Sunday (and weekday) with solid fundamentals: mature trees, trail access, killer mountain views, and a location that’s five minutes from everything. Swiss Manor is the Brock Purdy of Flagstaff real estate — underestimated, overperforming, and surprisingly hard to beat.
If Swiss Manor was an actor, it would be…
Timothee Chalamet. Just like Timothee plays an array of different characters, Swiss Manor has a tone of homes with character. There may be homes with similar layouts but they have been altered and made to be one of a kind over the years. Not one house is exactly like another just like how Chalamet never plays the same part.

Weather in Flagstaff
Weather
With four distinct seasons, Flagstaff’s weather offers something for everyone. Warm and bright sunshine in the summer, chilly mornings with colorful aspens in the fall, snow with freezing temperatures in the winter, and a mix of everything in the spring. The average high in the summer is 80ºF and a low of 53ºF. During the cold season of late November to early March, the average daily high is below 49ºF. The hottest month is July and the coldest month is December. Flagstaff’s mountain elevation does bring summer monsoon storms that keep the trails in great shape and the hot days to a minimum.
Market Trends
Flagstaff has historically had a market based on high demand and low inventory. This creates a seller’s market, with buyers scooping up Flagstaff homes quickly as they come on the market. In the past 20 years, home prices have increased in Arizona by an average rate of 4.15%. In 2021 – they doubled! Although new homes are being built in Flagstaff and surrounding communities like Bellemont and Kachina Village, we expect it to continue to be a seller's market for years to come.

With its bustling downtown life, numerous mountain adventures and active Northern Arizona University campus, Flagstaff is home to a diverse community.
