Beale Street in the 1920's
Undeniable and unstoppable growth: yesterday, today and tomorrow.
The right climate. The right location. The right opportunities. And, for those thinking about property, value.
In the last two years, as we have many times in the past, we've watched the housing market take a relative nose-dive as it readjusts and stabilizes: it's a pendulum. Always has been and always will be. But, it's a moving pendulum on an upward slide: The low is never as low as it was in a prior readjustment. The high is always higher. The pendulum always stabilizes at a point higher than it had before. Anyone over the age of 30 has lived through this at least once. But, and just as before, commercial property is left virtually unaffected.
Why Kingman? Anyone who lives here knows why.
A great climate with temperatures during the summer and winter months that are easy on the body - not the broiling heat of the San Fernando Valley or Phoenix. Pollution is virtually nonexistent. Traffic, except for a main roadway in Kingman, is easy and easy on the nerves. Kingman's centered close to the excitement of Las Vegas; The water sports of the Colorado and Lake Mead; The ancient cultures of American Indians. The beauty of mountains and buttes, animal life and unending wilderness trails, the freedom to exercise your Constitutional Rights (those who live in California or New York may recall the Constitution as a pleasant memory. In Arizona, it's still alive and well.)
From Forbes Magazine:
SoCal's Triple Whammy
"Not only do commuters in Southern California inhale the worst year-round particle pollution levels, but Riverside drivers also face the highest rate of fatal auto accidents per capita, and Los Angeles drivers spend the most time sitting in traffic. In 2003, the annual delay per traveler there was 93 hours.
"Long commutes, research has shown, can lead to loss of short-term memory, more days of missed work and such ailments as higher blood pressure, muscle tension and an accelerated heart rate."
So, it might not be easy for you to remember this, but Kingman's air is very, very breathable.
Why Old Town?
Remember that "main roadway" I mentioned above? That's why Old Town. So little planning was done during the last great growth period, that no one in government thought much about traffic. They just thought about Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Chili's, Target, Safeway, Staples, Office Depot, Petco, Big Lots, and you name it. Unfortunately, they're all located on a relatively narrow roadway called, Stockton Hill Road. Now, Walgreen's and others are relocating. Guess where to?
Old Town, where Kingman began in the 1800's is a flourishing neighborhood of boutiques and historic homes, many of which are being acquired by working or retired folks relocating from out of state seeking a better life themselves and better value for the real estate dollar.
Now Red Rock LLC is in the stages of building a very large convention center literally up the street.
This year the remodeling of the Central Commercial Company was completed, bringing this beautiful heartbeat of Old Town back to life. (It's the main building in the first photograph at the top.) It's current occupants include an upscale coffee and music shop, a wine bar, and various boutique shops - antiques, bath accessories and much more is planned.
What does Old Town need?
As the price of gasoline increases, shopping at home will become a far more popular past-time. Getting things done locally will be key. Believe it or not, there is no grocery store in Old Town, yet there is a vast demography to support it: in the immediate Old Town area, in the Hualapai Mountain Road area, and for those living in Golden Valley who must drive either to Bullhead City, Laughlin, or, more than likely, through Old Town to one of the Safeway stores, Wal-Mart, Basha's, or Smith's. A grocery store in Old Town is a gold mine waiting to happen.
Old Town, which also happens to be the seat of City and County government, needs a dry cleaners, a shoe repair, a hardware store, a sporting goods store, more restaurants and entertainment, gift and clothing shops, and just about anything one can imagine.
$72 million dollars is being spent on building a new 688-bed jail - far enough away, but not too far - that the need for local law offices, since the Mohave County Superior and all Municipal Courts are located within walking distance, is apparent.
There is so much growth, so much to capture, so much success to be reaped at such an incredibly low investment. Old Town Historic Kingman is the undeniable path of change for tomorrow. Don't miss it!
