3. Bisbee, Arizona – An Artsy Desert Haven

Tucked into the mountains of southeastern Arizona, Bisbee is a quirky, colorful town that attracts artists, writers, and retirees looking for something unique. Once a mining boomtown, Bisbee has reinvented itself with art galleries, historic hotels, and vintage shops lining its hilly, winding streets. The cooler climate (thanks to its elevation) makes it more comfortable than other Arizona hotspots, and housing remains affordable compared to Tucson or Phoenix.
