Summer highs in the 80s and 90s instead of Phoenix's 115°F is the single biggest reason buyers choose Anthem Prescott, and it delivers. The Anthem Club — 30,000+ square feet — and the Prescott Golf Club genuinely live up to the tour. Ponderosa pines instead of desert scrub. Whiskey Row and historic downtown Prescott ten minutes away. Nobody who moves here for the elevation is disappointed in year one.
The Sky Harbor drive stops feeling like a novelty
Phoenix Sky Harbor is roughly 90 minutes away. In year one that's a fun day trip. By year five, it's the reason you think twice about flying out for a grandchild's birthday or a same-day medical appointment. Yavapai Regional Medical Center handles most needs fine, but residents who need Mayo Clinic or a Banner specialist network make the drive — or the drive makes the decision for them. HOA dues (~$250–$320/month) have typically ticked upward by this point too, as they do at most Del Webb communities.
Winter is a real season here, not a rumor
Buyers who came from sea level sometimes underestimate what living at 5,400 feet means past the first year — thinner air affects some people more than others, and long-time residents will tell you a trial stay through an actual winter (frost, occasional snow) would have saved a surprise or two. On the upside, resale has stayed strong: Prescott Anthem homes are in real demand, and the smaller community size (~3,000 homes vs. Sun City Grand's ~9,700) means residents who wanted an intimate club scene rather than a sprawling one are still glad they chose it a decade later.

The honest tradeoff, in one sentence
Anthem Prescott trades Valley heat for altitude, distance from Sky Harbor, and a genuine winter — and for most buyers who make that trade deliberately rather than accidentally, it holds up over the long haul.
