"It is not special. We have so many flatlanders coming from the valley up here making the traffic congested. They’re rude. They’re snotty to the local people very similar to Chicago people going to Glen Lake of Michigan."

"Pine is a beautiful, small, friendly mountain town located about 15 minutes north of Payson. The town is a mixture of full time and part time residences who live in Pine for the beauty and peacefulness of the community. There is a hardware store, grocery store, gas station and other amenities such as hair salon, yoga studio, etc. Payson has major amenities such as big name grocery stores, walmart, a movie theater, many restaurants, hospital, etc all within a 15 minute drive from Pine. The nightlife in Pine is minimal, however there is a local saloon and a local brewery which do a great job catering to those who wish. There is a community center in Pine where all of the summer, spring and fall festivals take place. The festivals usually consist of vendors selling their handmade goods and other vendors selling food. There is also a "small-town" Halloween event and Christmas event that take place. The kids love these events as they are not over crowded and it is good ole fashioned fun. The local community does a wonderful job at maintaining the town. I have never seen litter or torn up roads in Pine. The community is also very concerned with fire hazards so they all do a great job in maintaining their properties so they are fire wise. We love that we can walk every where we go in Pine. We love that the children are safe to play outside and we love that people all seem to know each other. Within 30-45 minutes of Pine, many of the Rim lakes are accessible. There are tons of hiking trails and beautiful streams to play or fish in all within a few minutes of Pine. Tonto Natural Bridge is about 5-10 minutes away and is a sought after place for visitors who come to town to want to go. Pine is a perfect place for a second home. It is a quick drive from Phoenix and the highway is much less congested than I17 leading to Prescott or Flagstaff. I would recommend Pine for families, couples, singles and retirees alike."
