Live in Flagstaff? Have a room/condo/mother-in-law/house to rent? Want to help some fellow Mustacians? Like warm fuzzies? (Who doesn't?)

WHO WE ARE:
A couple of students prepping for a move from Spokane, WA to Flagstaff, AZ in early May. Originally from SLC, we are STOKED to get back to the high-mountain desert. He has just been accepted to an accelerated nursing program at NAU. She is just a couple months from graduating with an MS in Nutrition and Exercise Physiology. Both like to run, hike, climb, bike, ski, raft, and take naps in the sunshine. We have a shy but sweet mutt (~35 lbs) named Mia who loves chasing ducks and rolling in the snow.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
Housing within walking/biking distance of NAU and Flagstaff Medical Center.
Will consider an apartment, house, condo, duplex, mother-in-law....anything really, but looking for a good deal.
Housing is expensive in Flag---we're willing to do a little work if it means cheaper rent!
A fenced yard for the dog would be nice, but is not necessary.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU:
Maybe you want to do some travelling and need someone to keep an eye on your house.
Maybe you have more house than you need and want to make a little cash for your 'stache by renting part of it out.
Maybe you are tired of talking to yourself and want some company.
Whatever the reason, give us a shout. We are clean, quiet, and respectful. We cook delicious food and we love to share. :)

We are hoping to find a place without making a separate trip before the move. (Plane tickets and rental cars are expensive!) However, it's hard to trust ads on Craigslist, so maybe our fellow Mustachians can help us out! Even if you don't have housing to offer but can provide some suggestions, it would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

My girlfriend and I no longer live in Flagstaff, however we have friends that still live there and my sister works for NAU in the Anthropology department. We moved to California last year for a career change to become FI sooner, but our plan is to move back to Flagstaff once we are FI. There is just something about that town that draws you back.

If you end up going the apartment route, we can recommend Timberline Place(Not Timberline Village, which is next door). It is mostly owned condos and a relatively quiet neighborhood, and the best apt for the money we found. $865 for a 1br/1bath. The only downside is it is on the east side of town(2.5 miles from NAU) but I spent most of my time bike commuting while I was there.

Good luck, and no matter where you end up, we are sure you will love it there.
