I agree with kdog..very much actually. Moving here from a very small, low crime rate, very friendly small town in Southern Idaho, I was very worried about moving to Kingman. I have been here for seven months, and all 3 of my kids are doing quite well. All are in gifted/talented classes in the Hualapai school district. There is plenty to do here, with or without traveling, and the weather is unbelievable. The colds are nowhere near what I consider to be cold, and the hots are nowhere near what Phoenex and other desert cities get. Kingman's home prices are very affordable, and as long as you like small towns, Kingman will suit you just fine. If, however, you are a big-town person looking for lots of things to do, you should probably look for a big city to live in. All towns and cities have drug problems. Kingman is not "full" of drugs, but they are here. As kdog stated, if you do not want to be a part of that crowd, avoid that crowd. Easily done. What you will find in Kingman, however, is a very large difference in incomes with the people. There are a lot of doctors and healthcare workers who make quite a nice living, and you will also find a lot of people here struggling to make ends meet. There doesn't seem to be as many "middle class" as in other places. I think a lot of Mohave county's problem is poverty more than drugs. I am in my mid 30's, married, have 4 children, and we all love Kingman. Just thought I would share.

You might get a better response if you start a new thread rather than adding to this one.
