Everybody either absolutely loves or absolutely hates Jerome. I notice that
the people who hate it mostly have a fear of either heights or nonconformity.
They used to call Jerome "The wildest Town in The West" and it a lot of ways, it still is.
I assume that this is a Halloween picture on the right - there are not really (usually) Ladies Of The Night hanging out of the windows up in Jerome. Really.
Jerome is a picturesque mining town, perched high up on the side of Mingus Mountain. The boundaries are small and mostly surrounded by National Forest land, so what
you see is pretty much what you're gonna get as far as expansion goes.
All of the homes in Jerome are either old restored miner's houses or the
sweet old Victorians or sweet new Victorians. Jerome is well protected by the
Hysterical Society, so there will be no new-fangled looking construction.
The homes for sale range from the poor old Magnolia Street derelict high up on the hill for $119,000
to the Gulch Road home, just reduced to the incredible price of $318,000.

to the incredible Surgeon's House B & B for $1,200,000.
The views from just about any property for sale in Jerome are stunning. You'll see
the San Francisco Peaks overlooking the famous Clark Mansion,
Sedona's famous Red Rocks,
and Clarkdale and
Cottonwood below you.
Jerome has been called "The New Telluride", which is a description that the locals hate.
We prefer that Telluride be called "The New Jerome."
Jerome and Clarkdale homes for sale aren't as affected by the correction of the market as most of our area. Jerome is a limited commodity - if you want historic, views, and character, you don't have many other choices.
Why Jerome? I personally love Jerome and want to live there when I grow up. (I'm only 50 - hey, I've got time, right?) It's one of a kind. There is nothing like Jerome. It's quaint, it's a tiny town, it's personal.
What's to do in Jerome? Lots. Let's start at the Spirit Room.
Go there to listen to The Cadillac Angels on a holiday.
When you get hungry, wander on up to The Asylum
or Grapes or The Haunted Hamburger, or go down to The Jerome Grille or The Red Rooster. There's plenty of shopping, enough to keep you going all day if that's your thing. From Raku pottery
to Raspberry arts and crafts to Nellie Bly's designer (aka expensive) jewelry and kaleidoscope store,
you'll find a treasure. You can just hang out on the steps or in the public park if you want - that's a hoot, people watching. Get a tattoo at the Wicked City Tattoo Parlor
in the Old School building from my kid Cody or his lovely wife, Holly. Aren't they just adorable? www.wickedcitytattoo.com

and find lots of other wonderful diversions. You will never be bored in Jerome - there's just too much to do!
OK - so why would you want to own a home in Jerome? Well, you don't have to drive if you party too much? Not good enough? Halloween is special,
especially at The Asylum, which is haunted, BTW.
Seriously, Jerome is eclectic, Jerome is special. It either attracts people or it spits them out. If you live here you become part of the magic that is Jerome and you never have to leave. You'll own part of a town that people pay thousands of dollars to visit for a week. You'll own part of that special slice of American history.
Jerome Arizona homes for sale or rent. (Sorry - the web guy says that I have to put this in on every page. You're here reading this so I guess maybe it worked, huh?)
