A friendly, chill, beautiful place to recover from the grind.
Young is a small, unincorporated, laid-back community in the historic, remote Pleasant Valley just over 100 miles NE from (and almost a mile higher than) the edge of the Phoenix metro area.
We have a full-service restaurant, a couple of takeout places, a fine watering hole or two, a couple of stores, fuel, tire shop, auto parts/hardware store, vineyard, museum, library, post office, crisp and clean air, cool nights year-round, and ample opportunity to explore in every direction.
What we don't have are big-box stores, corporate fast food, outlet malls, casinos, pawn shops, bail bonds, payday loans, traffic jams, and street crime. Our community is a safe, relaxing, welcoming, fun place with tons of heart and spirit and residents who lean heavily toward friendly and helpful.
It's simply a great place to live and visit.
Merle and Kathy's Valley bar has been a Young institution for over a half-century. Find here friendly locals, happy travelers, GENEROUS pours, live music, pool tables, and a killer vibe. Our band Polly-Urethane and the Acetones plays here regularly.
