Cottonwood is supported through its sales taxes. They do not have a property tax. The city has improved its inter-city transportation infrastructure with ready access to the interstate highway system. Many styles of housing are available in a variety of price ranges.
I hate to bring BAD news. We have a place in Cottonwood AZ. There is NO CITY property TAXES, But there are County TAXES. In Arizona there is 3 TAX LEVELS. There is STATE TAXES 5%, COUNTY TAXES which varies from County to County, then there is CITY TAXES which also vary. Some CITIES & TOWN have NO CITY TAXES. But every COUNTY has taxes. The sales tax in Cottonwood is 8.75%.
Don't want people thinking there are no taxes because there are.
My Personal opinion:
reasonable time and distance access to:
Grand Canyon
Phoenix
Vegas
Laughlin
LA

Move to Pahrump Nevada. A lot of East Coast people there, Close to Las Vegas 60 miles, Cheap living, low taxes, rural. 5 hours to L.A. Dry climate, cooler than Las Vegas in the summer. 3100 ft of elev. Great place. My wife taught school there for 6 years.

I was born in raised in Northwest NJ, and my wife from Long Island(Seaford). We moved to FL in '95 and haven't looked back once. Sure, I'm biased, but it's worth a look. Great weather, no state income tax, reasonable property tax, blah, blah, blah.....
Here's a list of states with no income tax. It may be the deal-maker for you guys.

I left LI quite a few years ago after growing up there. I know I wouldn't want to live there now. Come on down to SW Virginia (Stuart area) near Martinsville. 3 bdrm, 2 bath house with full walkout basement, 8' by 44' deck across back, 1/2 acre total tax last year was about $278. About 4-4 1/2 % income tax. One thing to think about is that your retirement is not taxed in NY (state employee and part of the NY State retirement system) North Carolina is growing. Things to think about, are which states have property tax (car, tools, boat etc). I found it is cheaper for me to register a car in NY than in VA. The school systems around Winston-Salem, NC seem to be looking for bus drivers a lot. There are a lot more school bus accidents down here than in NY. Lots of things to think about, you might check out area newspapers online to get a feel for the area.

Thanks to all
We just want to thank everyone who replied to this post. It was not really intended to be a monetary issue. That info is a click away. Our goal was to see if anyone would boast about where they live. To us that speaks volumes. As many a person frequent this site. We were very surprised at how little a response we got. That also speaks volumes. To all that stepped up.
Thankyou. Now it is time for us to do some homework. Who knows, we could be your neighbor someday.
Sincerly,
Linda and Frank

Just so you know !
I offered the place I did because I really liked it there.
It had everything I look for in Living..not just surviving.
I would never suggest for someone to go a place that I wouldn't live myself.
It has a great climate,good enough amenities,water,Taxes or living standards,proximity to other places I would like to be near.
This is the main reason I live where I do in Alberta.
Quality of life, cost of living,weather
proximity to:
the mountains,
Supernatural BC,
to the Family farm in Saskatchewan,
All my friends spread out throughout the province,
an International airport,
to the US by car.
Now...If I could only win a huge lottery
