Sierra Vista is a cool place to live - in more ways than one. With its temperate climate, spectacular mountain scenery, diverse wildlife and welcoming community, it’s no wonder the word is out on one of Arizona’s best-kept secrets.
The city, located in Cochise County, about 20 miles from Mexico, is the main commercial, cultural and recreational hub of the area.
At an elevation of 4,623 feet, Sierra Vista’s abundant sunshine and clean air combine to make this city a comfortable and pleasant place to live.
Steady and smart growth in the last 50 years has seen the city blossom to become a culturally diverse community of around 45,000 residents. Recently ranked by Vacation Publications as one of the top 100 places in America to retire, Sierra Vista is also attracting a growing number of families and professionals looking to take advantage of the numerous opportunities on offer in this part of Southern Arizona.
Many of those opportunities are made possible through the presence of historic Fort Huachuca, home to the U.S. Army Intelligence Center and the Network Enterprise Technology Command, and a major economic force in the state.
Sierra Vista is a city where the population is educated and highly skilled, where businesses can thrive and grow and where local residents enjoy a year-round moderate climate against a backdrop of breathtaking scenery and stunning sunsets.
