Find a Neighborhood in Tucson

There's more neighborhood stuff coming soon! In the meantime, here's some articles about a few of my favorite neighborhoods.

  1. Little Things – Fun in La Paloma - I was up at a home inspection in La Paloma this morning bright and early.  In fact, I got there early enough to have some time to drive around and enjoy the scenery for a bit. 
    First was this tiny little egg, which made me look up and find the nest, nestled way up in [...]
  2. Barrio Homes in Tucson -  I was running around the Barrios near Downtown Tucson the other day with a client.  I’ve always loved the old barrios, with the bright colors, the thick adobes, the row houses.  I do love a house with some character.
    There are incredibly diverse housing options in the area.  There’s several "severe" fix-ups in the area for [...]
  3. Rancho Sahuarita Price per Square Foot - Heading down to Rancho Sahuarita today to check out some homes for sale in the area.  Rancho Sahuarita is an interesting community, it’s all designed to get people out of their homes and into the neighborhood.  Typically, the lots are on the small side; there are some exceptions scattered throughout, but the community amenities are [...]
  4. West University Area in Tucson Price per Square Foot - Got a call from a woman thinking about purchasing a home in the University of Arizona region in Tucson. There are many parents who consider buying a home for their child to use while going to school. So we got to talking about a few homes and local market conditions, and I figure [...]
  5. La Cholla Airpark – Horses and Hangars - I was researching some horse property in Tucson today for a client – if you want a good sized lot, close to town, with horse facilities, you keep coming back to La Cholla Airpark.
    La Cholla Airpark is unique among Tucson’s luxury home communities – namely because it has a private airstrip and because horses are [...]
  6. Walkable Neighborhoods? - Working with a couple who are relocating to Tucson from a city with a dense core, we talked a lot about finding the ‘walkable’ neighborhoods here in Tucson.  Walkable is sort of a subjective word, with a vastly different meaning, depending on the person.  So for this couple, let’s say they want a wide [...]
  7. Sonoran Preserve on the Bajada -
    Received a packet today about a new(ish) land subdivision up in Northwest Tucson – in Marana, actually.  It’s called Sonoran Preserve on the Bajada, which was where the 2008 SAHBA Parade of Homes was held.
    It’s a gated land community, and there’s about 20 lots left, of 29 total.  Most are just under an acre, with [...]
  8. Saguaro Cliffs Homes and Lots - I’ve been discussing the Saguaro Cliffs neighborhood with a family who was attracted to the area on a recent visit.  It’s one of my favorite West side custom home developments for several reasons.
    The first is privacy.  A typical lot in Saguaro Cliffs is easily an acre and a half, if not 2 acres or more.  [...]
  9. Driving Through Pima Canyon - Selected scenes from Pima Canyon, a Tucson neighborhood. Such a nice, peaceful place.

     
     
    And some yellow flowers, just for fun.

  10. Tucson Lofts Downtown - There was an article about loft projects in Tucson today in the Arizona Daily Star (will go behind registration wall soon, but registering is free).
    There’s always a lot of talk about loft projects, especially in the downtown Tucson area.  I often get calls from people in other states, looking to purchase a little loft downtown, [...]
