Arizona is a major destination for retirees — and anyone who loves spending time in the great outdoors.

From Flagstaff’s pine forests to Sedona’s red mesas, Arizona offers a wide variety of dramatic landscapes. The Grand Canyon State boasts an impressive 34 state parks and 3 National Parks: Saguaro, Petrified Forest, and Grand Canyon.

Is Arizona a good state to invest in real estate?
