Tucson Arizona

Surrounded by five magnificent mountain ranges, Tucson enjoys a population of more than one million residents, including approximately 50,000 students and staff at the University of Arizona. If you’re considering purchasing a home, land or other Tucson real estate, a plethora of enticing options await your pleasure, especially since the metro area encompasses more than 500 square miles and features a wide variety of homes, communities and neighborhoods to fit pretty much any budget and every lifestyle.

Similar to her more well-known northern sibling, Phoenix, Tucson’s communities are as diverse as they are plentiful, including some historical districts that are now considered home to the city’s trend-setting arts crowd. If that sounds intriguing to you, in addition to sprawling Territorials, you can find pueblo-style abodes and rambling ranch-homes on cozy cul-de-sacs and shady tree-lined streets. Meanwhile, neatly maintained older neighborhoods embrace the center-city, while as Tucson’s real estate landscape has grown, new subdivisions have sprung up from the valley’s floor, making a home purchase more affordable for those with growing families in need of multiple bedrooms, big backyards and great public schools.

For homebuyers who care to go more upscale, Tucson’s winding foothills are a showcase for sensational homes and spectacular estates that easily blend into the lush high Sonoran desert surroundings. If you’re so inclined, gorgeous golf course communities, many of them gated for privacy, dot numerous sections of Tucson’s metropolitan area, as does acreage just-right for those who desire horse property and privileges.

Nicknamed the “Old Pueblo,” arts, culture and tons of outdoor fun are all important to Tucson’s laidback ambience, which embodies a beautiful blend of southwestern sophistication combined with plenty of spunk and spirit. Arizona’s second-largest city is home to a ballet company, theater, opera and symphony, and seasonal street fairs are regularly held, as are culinary festivals, gem shows and hot air balloon rallies.

Tucson certainly wows with a wealth of man-made beauty ... first-class resorts, high-class dining options, championship golf courses, a top-of-the-mountain snow ski resort and amenity-rich guest ranches ... but what really sets her apart is the incredible magnificence of Mother Nature that surrounds the city’s environs. It doesn’t matter if what whets your proverbial fancy is Tucson’s crimson-hued cliff-side canyons, majestic mountain ranges, midnight-black night skies perfect for stargazing to your heart’s content or forests of statuesque saguaros that scamper across the valley and clamber up rugged mountainsides, Tucson is truly an amazing place to call home.
