Personal Trainer Thinking Of Moving To Sedona (Phoenix, Scottsdale: apartment, condo)

[Nick0578]

Hello, I posted this same post up in the Phoenix forum as I'm also considering moving to Scottsdale/Phoenix. I am also interested in Sedona. I am a Personal Trainer currently in Boston and thinking about moving. I want to move out of Boston because of three reasons.

1) I've been here too long and want a new experience
2) I hate the winter
3) People just aren't friendly

I have never been to AZ but hear great things about it from people I know who visited. Specifically a couple of clients who know me really well urged me to check out Sedona because the beautiful landscape and spiritual and alternative healing community. Is that community prevalent?

I am a 30 year old single guy and would prefer to live in an apartment vs. a condo. I'm really active and social and like friendly people, but I prefer doing lots of things during the day to being out all night drinking.

I'm curious about opinions around the following about the Sedona area.

1) demographics
2) price (my range is probably $1k - $1,500/month, under $1k if possible)
3) fitness levels/interest in the area
4) is it a friendly place?

I prefer to live somewhere that I can walk to work..which would be a gym obviously.

I'm a nutrition and corrective exercise specialist if that means anything. I work really well with people new to fitness or athletes who are injured.

Any comments/thoughts/experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
