Cleaning Services in Kachina Village, AZ

Kachina Village is described, accurately and without much romance, as primarily a bedroom community for Flagstaff. About 2,502 people live here in 1.17 square miles at 6,798 feet, which makes it one of the most tightly packed residential areas in this market and also one of the quietest -- the census classes it as 100 percent rural. Mountainaire, immediately alongside it at 6,952 feet across 10.20 square miles, adds about 1,068 more, and because the Mountainaire census place explicitly takes in the Kachina Hills and Mountainaire subdivisions, the two read as one community to the people who live in them. One page, roughly 3,570 residents, one ZIP: 86005, shared with south Flagstaff.

What this place is, is houses. There is no downtown here, no attraction, no landmark to organize a visit around -- there is the Coconino National Forest on every side, the I-17 corridor a short distance away, and several hundred homes in the pines with people in them who work in Flagstaff. We would rather say that plainly than invent something. Mountainaire runs a median age of 41.0 and is about 12.1 percent Hispanic, which is a working-household profile rather than a retirement or second-home one.

That profile is what the cleaning looks like. Recurring house cleaning for households where everybody is out the door by eight. Deep cleans a couple of times a year, usually after the winter, when four or five months of salt, cinders, snowmelt and wood-stove ash have worked their way into entryways, floors, sills and vents. Move-in and move-out work when a house changes hands. Nothing exotic, done consistently, on a schedule that holds.

And the geography here is the quiet advantage. Kachina Village and Mountainaire sit on the I-17 south corridor between Flagstaff and Munds Park, which means every cabin run we make down that interstate passes them. An address here is never out of the way, and it never has been.
