Doney Park and Timberline

Doney Park spreads northeast of Flagstaff along US 89, between Townsend-Winona Road and Silver Saddle Road, and Timberline and Fernwood continue north toward Sunset Crater, rising from about 6,550 feet to 6,700. Both are unincorporated Coconino County, and at the 2020 Census they held 3,231 housing units and about 8,500 residents. Doney Park Water, a member-owned cooperative, serves most parcels, homes are on septic, and Summit Fire & Medical covers fire and emergency response.

We've closed homes in Doney Park, and on acreage the questions that matter most are the ones an in-town buyer never asks: where the water comes from, where the septic sits, and which way the water runs in a monsoon.

The housing runs the full spectrum, from older manufactured homes to large custom homes with barns and arenas. Over the last twelve months the MLS shows 56 closings across Doney Park and Timberline: 49 single-family, 6 manufactured, and 1 mobile. Single-family homes sold between $320,000 and $1,350,000, with a median of $722,000 and the middle half between about $592,000 and $830,000. The typical house was about 1,970 square feet, built in 1995, on a median of 2.5 acres. Manufactured and mobile homes ranged from $147,500 to $615,000. Median days on market was 81.

Life out here is about space. Much of the area is zoned Agricultural Residential, so barns, arenas, and horses are common, and the Doney Park Timberline Fernwood Area Plan, adopted in December 2022, keeps most residential land at 2.5- or 5-acre minimums, which protects the open feel. The one thing every buyer should understand is post-fire flooding from the Schultz and Pipeline burn scars, which the County has spent years engineering around.
