Uptown Sedona Real Estate

Uptown Sedona is one of Sedona's main business districts, featuring some of the best restaurants, gift shops, retail stores, and galleries. What many visitors don't realize is the quiet and private contrast when you are just a block away from Highway 89A. The Uptown Sedona neighborhood features spectacular views, hidden enclaves, and some of the best hiking trails in Sedona. And you don't have to get in your car to do any of this! Uptown Sedona also borders Oak Creek Canyon, a heavily wooded area of almost a fairy tale feel featuring the enchanted Oak Creek, an Artesian spring where many of us locals fill up water jugs for free, cozy cottages, and native American markets. And of course, plenty of hiking and camping. If you live in Uptown Sedona, you're just 26 miles from Flagstaff where you can, among other things, downhill sky in the Winter months. Imagine that! 

I'm an Uptown Sedona resident myself, and have lived in 2 different neighborhoods in Uptown for about 10 years.  Some buyers looking at Sedona for the first time could overlook Uptown due to congestion and parking on the 89A strip, but once you get a few blocks off the main tourism area - you'll find the quietest neighborhoods with some of the best views imaginable.  It's the original part of town, loads of character (twisty roads as opposed to a master planned grid layout) and most homes are a stones throw from National Forest trails.
