Moving from Phoenix to Prescott Valley? Nonstop Moving runs the I-17 corridor every week — residential, retiree, and family relocations into StoneRidge, Pronghorn Ranch, Granville, and the Prescott Valley master-planned communities. Phoenix-based, Arizona-licensed, flat-rate pricing.
Prescott Valley is the fastest-growing city in Yavapai County, and most of that growth comes from Phoenix metro residents — retirees from Sun City, families leaving West Valley apartments for new builds in StoneRidge, remote workers who want pine country without Prescott’s price tag. We run the route every week. Here’s why we’re the right call.
Most of Prescott Valley’s housing is in master-planned communities — StoneRidge, Pronghorn Ranch, Granville, Viewpoint, Quailwood. Each has its own gate access procedures, HOA move-in rules, and street layouts. We’ve moved into all of them and know which clubhouses need a certificate of insurance, which gates close at sundown, and which streets a 26-foot truck can actually fit through.
Same movers load your house in Glendale or Sun City and unload in Prescott Valley. Locally owned, fully Arizona-licensed, your stuff stays on one truck. No interstate van-line shuffle, no warehouse stops, no broker games.
A big chunk of our Prescott Valley business is Sun City and Surprise retirees consolidating into 1,800–2,200 sq ft single-stories. We help with the realities — what fits, what goes to the kids, what gets donated. No pressure, no upsell on a four-day pack job you don’t need.
The 100-mile climb up I-17 is where hourly meters punish customers — every traffic delay, every slow truck on the grade. We quote flat. Get a free estimate and the number you see is the number you pay.
The Phoenix-to-Prescott-Valley route covers 95 miles and takes about 1 hour 45 minutes on the road via I-17 N to SR-69 N. For a typical 3-bedroom home, plan on a 9-to-11-hour day from first wrap to last box placed. A 2-bedroom apartment or downsized retiree home runs 6 to 8 hours. The climb adds drive time, and HOA gate access at the Prescott Valley end can slow the unload.
The route, in plain terms:
What drives your price: home size and distance set the base. Things that bump it: HOA move-in fees and gate restrictions (common in PV’s master-planned communities), stairs at either end, specialty items, packing service, and short-term storage if your closing dates don’t sync. Free quote spells out every line.
Best time to move: mid-week early mornings beat weekends. Avoid Friday afternoons (Phoenix-to-Prescott weekend traffic on I-17) and summer monsoon afternoons (sudden downpours on the grade). Spring and fall are the cleanest months.
Prescott Valley vs. Prescott — what’s different: PV sits at 5,100 feet (Prescott is 5,400), but the towns feel different. Prescott has the historic Whiskey Row and territorial-capital character; PV has newer construction, master-planned communities, and lower per-foot home prices. Most of our retirees pick PV for the price, then drive 7 miles into Prescott on weekends for dinner. Same county, same climate, two different lifestyles.
Prescott Valley is one of Arizona’s fastest-growing cities — Phoenix retirees, West Valley families, and remote workers are the biggest segments. At 5,100 feet, summers cap around 90 degrees and winters get a few light snows. The cities we move out of most:
Phoenix To Prescott Valley – Right-sizers and retirees leaving the Valley for cooler weather, lower property taxes, and a 30%-cheaper mortgage.
Sun City To Prescott Valley – By far our biggest segment, often paired with Sun City West. Already in retirement-living mode, just trading 115-degree summers for 90-degree summers and getting actual seasons.
Surprise To Prescott Valley – Heat refugees who want the West Valley quality of life at a higher elevation. Peoria residents make the same move for the same reasons.
Glendale To Prescott Valley – Families trading West Valley apartments for new builds in StoneRidge or Pronghorn Ranch. Common move for the work-from-home crowd.
Mesa & Scottsdale To Prescott Valley – East Valley residents picking PV over Prescott for the price; often master-planned communities with smaller yards and newer construction.
