City of Flagstaff rules, plus HOA policy
Pinnacle Pines is inside city limits, so the City of Flagstaff's short-term rental license applies: $250 a year, an Arizona TPT license, notice to adjacent, across-the-street, and diagonal neighbors with a 24-hour emergency contact, $500,000 in liability insurance, a sex-offender registry check before each stay, required equipment, and hotel-rate sales and BBB taxes. ADUs that received a Certificate of Occupancy after September 14, 2024 require the owner to live on the property. One listing site reported that the HOA permits short-term rentals but has discussed a 30-day minimum; that isn't confirmed in published HOA documents, so the current rules are worth reading before counting on rental income.
Getting around
Lone Tree Road to NAU, I-17, and I-40
Bashas' at Woodlands Village is about 6 minutes away; Whole Foods and Walmart about 7; Sam's Club about 8; Safeway on Plaza Way, Sprouts, and Target about 9; Natural Grocers about 10. NAU is about 1.4 miles, downtown about 2.8, Flagstaff Medical Center about 3.5, and Pulliam Airport about 4.4.
Pinnacle Pines sits on a hillside in south Flagstaff near Lone Tree Road, directly across from Pine Canyon and bordered by national forest. Capstone Homes built the first townhomes around 2006 and returned in the mid-2010s to finish the community, so most homes are two-story attached townhomes, with a few detached, set among ponderosa pines with views of the San Francisco Peaks.
Pinnacle Pines tends to suit people who want to spend their weekends on the trail rather than on the roof. We look closely at what the HOA covers, because that's a big part of the value here.
Because fewer than ten homes sold here in the last twelve months, these figures cover the last three years. The MLS shows 37 closings: 36 townhomes between $550,000 and $867,000, with a median of $720,000 and the middle half between about $684,000 and $773,000, plus one single-family home at $865,000. The typical townhome was about 2,110 square feet, built around 2014. Median days on market was 68.
The HOA fee covers exterior paint, roof, and front landscaping, according to listing sites, and common areas include greenbelts. Flagstaff Urban Trail System segments run across from many homes, the Fisher Point Trailhead is about a block away, and Lake Mary Road, NAU, and both interstates are close by.
