Tucson Neighborhoods
Sam Hughes
Sam Hughes is one of those central Tucson neighborhoods that outsiders don’t expect. Turn-of-the-century territorial style houses and mission-style bungalows painted in browns and purples and sage greens sit on quiet, tree-lined streets, all within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and parks. It’s also close to the University of Arizona and Downtown, and there is plenty of apartments for rent. You can expect to find everyone from university professors to starving students, lawyers and civic leaders to artists, young families to professional sports stars.
Catalina Foothills
Located at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains north of the Tucson, the foothills offer some of the best views of downtown and are still only a 10- to 15-minute drive away. Rather than pave and concrete the desert landscape, the area has a minimalist feel with few sidewalks and narrow streets that wind through the hills. The mix of Southwest-style custom homes and subdivisions painted in muted browns and creams have been built to blend with the natural desert landscape. The area is home to the best school district in the Tucson, which has made it popular with families. This neighborhood has plenty of available apartments for rent and it’s also got some of the Tucson’s best restaurants and a growing number of art galleries and shops, all housed in upscale shopping centers.
El Encanto
This central neighborhood is sometimes called the Beverly Hills of Tucson, both for its well-heeled residents and its California-inspired landscaping and layout. Palm, citrus and eucalyptus trees line curving streets of lushly landscaped homes on one-acre lots. House styles range from Moroccan to Spanish and Italian Mediterranean. The central location has made it a popular neighborhood for University of Arizona professors and administrators.
Civano
This newer environmentally-friendly neighborhood has attracted younger families and the socially conscious to the less trendy southeast side of town. The energy-efficient adobe and Sonoran-style homes and apartments for rent in desert hues are relatively affordable and many residents have added solar power upgrades taking advantage of Tucson’s 350 days of sun.
Dove Mountain
Dove Mountain is just to the north of Tucson with easy freeway access, making it popular with people who work in other parts of Tucson. Like the foothills, houses are spread out on rugged lots in the hills and valleys. The southwest style stucco houses have been built to complement the desert landscape with muted tones and saguaro-lined streets. There are also several major residential developments with plenty of apartments for rent.
