Flagstaff's Emerging Creative Culture

What's the first thing you think of when you hear Flagstaff, Arizona? Some might mention the beautiful forest scenery, skiing, or perhaps the historic downtown area. However, an aspect of this quiet mountain town many might not know about is it's emerging music and arts scene. With the campus of NAU right next door, Flagstaff's now bustling downtown has a fresh injection of creative juices that translates to consistant live local artists in the local bars, restaurants, and venues. On top of that, there is a burgeoning monthly "First Friday" event that provides a fun big city atmosphere complete with art and music, while maintaining the friendly small town feel.

If you are searching for Flagstaff real estate, not just will you be able to take advantage of the convenience of a small town with breathtaking views, you'll also be able to go downtown for excellent food, a stiff drink, and both local and national acts featured nearly any night of the week!

The storied Orpheum Theater is one of the most memorable and iconic establishments in downtown Flagstaff. It's the biggest and most established hub for live music, films, and events in Flagstaff and was originally constructed in 1911. Since it's renovation in 2002, the Orpheum features a lounge, full bar, cutting edge sound system, plush seating and an expansive balcony.
