The Flagstaff area, yes.
Definitely not what it used to be as said earlier in the thread, but there's good trout fishing within reasonable driving distance, the mule deer and elk hunting is spectacular, and the cost of living isn't overly ridiculous.
Summers are beautiful. Might get pretty warm during daytime but still 50's at night and the dry air lessens the effects you feel from the daytime heat. Monsoons come late summer and that's when the weather is absolute Heaven. They can get some pretty decent snows there in winter but they keep the roads clear and well maintained, and most of the snows don't stay on the ground long (although they had a pretty wicked snow storm that absolutely buried the area for days not long ago).
My mom lives up in that vicinity and I visit as often as I can. You're a short drive from breathtaking natural places like Sycamore Canyon and Grand Canyon National Park. And there's a tourist town called Williams on I-40, old Route 66, just west of Flag that everyone should spend at least one weekend of their life visiting. It's just a really cool town to visit.
I've spent some time farther south of there from Prescott to Sedona to Phoenix, but I just like it better up in the North central mountains. Saguaro National Park is pretty damn cool down there though, but it's just hard to beat the clean air and Ponderosa pines of the Kaibab Forest.
