Kingman AZ is wonderful! Kingman's elevation, at 3,336 feet, provides an ideal southwestern climate -- neither too hot nor too cold! Kingman's weather is a welcome relief from the snow that hammers much of the country, the endless rains in some area of the northwest and from hurricans, and humid weather so many places experience. Kingman is a great place to live. No Wildfires - No Earthquakes - No Tornadoes - No Volcanoes.
