Welcome to Walker Community!

Located in the Bradshaw Mountains, south of Prescott, AZ, Walker Community is an old mining district, filled with history. It’s named after Joseph Walker, mountain man, explorer, and guide. He led a party to this valley to discover gold in the summer of 1863.

Today, the valley is filled with rustic cabins and elegant homes. There’s a vibrant community of people here, with an active social calendar. Some live here full-time, while others have second homes here.

Everyone loves it here. The community is great, with pancake breakfasts and other social events.

Internet is best by https://www.walkerwifi.com/. They are solid and dependable, with fast speeds and no data limits. Cell phone is best through “Call by WiFi” on your phone, through your personal router connected to Walker WiFi. Verizon does the best straight cell service, but it’s dicey. The higher you go, the better cell reception you get. TV is by satellite or streaming Internet. We have DirectTV. We are unincorporated, so the building department is through the county, not Prescott city. Water is from wells or hauled water. Wells can be private or shared by multiple parcels. There are a few companies that haul water, and a few more that drill and maintain wells. The higher the parcel, the better the view, and the farther you have to drill for water, and the more you pay for the well. Everything is on septic. Make sure you get a permit from the county, which will mandate set backs and other stuff. Trash collection is dumpsters at the fire station. You pay a yearly fee for the combination to the locks to dump your trash. http://walkertrashcollectionservice.com/ Mail delivery is at group mailboxes around the area. FedEx and UPS deliver to your door in most places out here. We personally have a PO Box in town for important stuff. That’s a personal preference. Here’s a list of people that provide services in Walker: https://www.walkercommunity.com/walker-information/ Here’s a list of all of the property for sale in Walker, houses and land, although you can filter that. https://www.walkercommunity.com/walker-real-estate-search/

Walker Fire Engine 86 Replacement

A new fire truck is coming. Please donate.

If you’ve been following along with our Facebook page and the winter
newsletter you may have seen that we’ve been working on replacing Engine
86, the older truck with Garfield painted on the side. The current Engine
86 is 38 years old and while we knew we would need to replace it soon; our
timeline was sped up due to a severe rust problem.

The plan was that Engine 83, the new wildland truck we got couple of years
ago with the help of a grant combined with donations, would pay to replace
Engine 86 with revenue earned from […]

Victory! The Gold Paradise Peak Mine is for sale.

Anyone want to buy a gold mine?

The Gold Paradise Peak Mine is for sale.

The owners have given up in the face of community pressure to stop mining.

The mine will be shut down. This is a victory for the community.

The agent who has listed it called me earlier this morning to tell me that it was being listed.

His concern is that another buyer would want to create a negative impact on the community.

A developer that would subdivide it and create another bunch of lots with cabins would still increase traffic and noise.

He’d like to find someone, a benefactor, to create a […]
