What about Williams?
Can I get input on Williams, Arizona? I have heard how much Flagstaff has grown and is now very expensive but what about Williams as far as cost of living and employment?

Williams is a lovely area...a small, quaint town...probably not a lot of employment outside of service jobs, though. Cost of living is probably not much different from Flagstaff but I can't comment on that with any assurance...be forewarned that Williams has some water problems and many residents must have water trucked in, or extremely deep wells.  |

Yeah, what the above post says. Lovely area, small town, limited services in terms of "big city" expectations, probably a fair amount of snow during the winter, very nice weather in the summer.
I've visited Williams perhaps 20-30 times in the last 15 years since it's my traditional first stop on my Los Angeles to Arizona to Utah and back to Los Angeles camping vacation loop. I always camp near Williams my first night of the trip. It's too small for me to want to live there but I like it otherwise.

And of course if you have kids, it's a magical place at Christmastime as the "Polar Express" leaves from Williams and they do a great job with that, and with all the xmas decorations in the area.
