Northern Arizona red-rock town — at 1,300m elevation among Cathedral Rock, Bell Rock, and Chapel of the Holy Cross monoliths that define the desert-southwest aesthetic. Population around 10,000 with a famous New Age scene (vortex tours, healing centers — the love-it-or-roll-eyes split is sharp). Cost is genuinely premium for a small town — second-home buyers from California have pushed median rent above Phoenix. Wi-Fi is fast; coworking is thin (one or two real spaces). Phoenix airport is 2 hours south, Flagstaff (Grand Canyon access) is 1 hour north. US standard visa rules apply.
Cost-adjusted FIRE number, time-to-FI scenarios, and how this base compares to a US lifestyle baseline.
