A main attraction are the mountains that surround the building sites and an 18-hole, championship golf course called The Gallery, that is the most beautiful that I have seen in this valley!

This is a tremendous upscale resort and golf community that is attracting many from across the nation. The developers are experienced in high-end product, and build only the best.

La Cholla Airpark - Homes with Hangars, not Garages

La Cholla Airpark features a 4500 foot air strip smack-dab in the middle of the neighborhood. And the streets are runways leading to the homes. The garages are hangars, some housing three planes. In addition to Lexuses and Explorers, you see Cessnas, Beechcrafts, and Piper Cubs on the streets.

Airplanes take priority over cars at La Cholla; signs warn drivers that they must pull over if faced with a taxiing aircraft. Street names are aviation oriented: for example - Tailwind Drive, Cessna Way, and Corsair Drive to name a few.

There is also a 85 plane community hangar beside the airstrip for those needing more space. La Cholla Airpark was founded in 1972, just west of Oro Valley. In fact, before there was an Oro Valley. There are 90 Tucson homes here, many owned by former airline and military pilots. The flying weather in Tucson is superb, so residents get as much flying as they want.

Stone Canyon Golf - Where Tiger Could Live

The 18-hole championship golf course is now open and memberships will be limited to 390. The course was designed by Jay Morrish who also deigned Troon, Forest Highlands, and the Tournament Player's Club in Scottsdale. He calls Stone Canyon "by far the best desert course site" he has ever seen.

Honeybee Ridge includes the right to purchase a membership for $37,000 in the Stone Canyon Club. Honeybee is a fully gated community of homes placed within an environmental "envelope" and currently priced from $1,000,000 to $4,000,000 with new homes being added frequently.

Stone Canyon is officially in the town of Oro Valley, a suburb of Tucson.

Sun City Vistoso - Superior Retirement

This is one of the Del Webb retirement communities that dot the nation. Northwest of Tucson, Vistoso is relatively new, having been started around 1989 and completed in 1996 . Resale homes here are in demand, there is one golf course.

My husband and I learned to ride our road bikes on the generous bike paths of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard. We have friends who live here - more retiree friends of my husband's from Minneapolis - and they rave about Sun City Vistoso, with all the recreation centers, clubs, and facilities to help retirees enjoy Arizona's warm, friendly climate.

Reddington Ranch Estates - Gated, Rural, and Luxe!

This is one of my favorite "get away from it all" neighborhoods. Out near the end of Tanque Verde Road, Redington Ranch is behind one of the tightest security gate systems in the valley.

Home owners belong to a neighborhood association that maintains their private lake, stable, tennis courts, and recreation area. A wonderful place for family picnics and nature outings. One afternoon in walking around the lake, I climbed a grassy knoll behind the waterfall to find a sleeping bobcat, who was VERY startled. Needless to say, he startled me as well.

Many of the homes here overlook the Tucson valley - across to Kitt Peak, and south all the way to Mexico. Lot sizes are very generous. And Paul McCartney used to live just across the road, although he sold the property after his first wife, Linda, passed away there.

Cimarron Estates - Up Against the Mountains

Part of The Foothills - NE quadrant from Craycroft Road and Sunrise Drive. This is where many of the IBM pioneers bought when they first came here in the 1980's. Tucson's hilliest sub-division. This is one of our fabulous spaghetti-bowl neighborhoods, where the roads carve along ridge-tops and then careen down into valleys, offering residents fabulous views of either mountains or cities or both. Cimarron offers 380 homes ranging in price from $250,000 to $742,500. Cimarron is in Catalina foothills School District 16, which many people consider a superior school district.

Cobblestone - Live in a Virtual National Park

A lovely Tucson neighborhood of large acreage home-sites way up at the top of the town, so far up you can't build above there; it's right against the Coronado National Forest, beyond the north end of Campbell Avenue. This is the kneecap of the Tucson foothills, so high it's on the other side of my map. Really!

Homes here are relatively new, ultra luxe, priced between $750,000 to $17,500,000. Awesome city lights views, and you're living right amongst nature here, up against the mountain. Altitude is 4000 feet at the Gatehouse. Cobblestone is also in Catalina foothills School District 16.

Colonia Solana Estates - Old Money in the Heart of Town

Considered a University Neighborhood - SE quadrant from Broadway Blvd and Country Club Drive, Bordered on the East and South by Tucson's largest park (Reid Park contains a terrific zoo, two superb public golf courses, a baseball stadium, a large outdoor amphitheater, a lake, and acres of picnic areas and ball fields.

Tucson's elite have lived here for decades. Trees and vegetation throughout the area are thick and verdant. In the rainy season, Arroyo Chico flows from the golf courses west through the neighborhood.

Colonia Solana is in the Tucson Unified School District, one of the largest in the nation.

El Encanto Estates - Where the University Elite Live

Considered a University neighborhood even though it is 2 1/2 miles from the campus - many UA deans, administrators, and professors live here.

The planners of El Encanto designed their plat like a wheel. A center hub nature park lined with Royal Palm Trees. A charming neighborhood of 143 homes priced from $600,000 to $1 million+. The average price per square foot of recent sales is $177.01. Homes currently listed are at $176.01 per sq. ft.

Finisterra - Foothill Living with Great Views

A small gated enclave at the ankle of the Foothills, that offers townhomes as well as single-family homes. On the west side of Craycroft road, two miles above Sunrise Drive, Finisterra is right up against the mountains and the Coronado National Forest.

Finisterra means "the end of the land" and it is - you can not build higher up the slopes than this. Magnificent views of the city lights, and with the National Forest as your backyard, what's not to like? So high it snows in the winter, and is cooler in the summer. Elevation at the Gatehouse is 3800 feet, with all the homes higher than that.

There are only 169 existing Tucson homes in the neighborhood. Townhomes prices start at $400,000 (none currently listed for sale). Fabulous homes range from $825,000 to $2,000,000=.

Finisterra is in Catalina foothills School District 16, which some folks rate very highly.

Sam Hughes Neighborhood - Tucson's Calm, With-It Center by the University

The Sam Hughes neighborhood is adjacent to the University of Arizona, directly to the east. A Historic District, many UA faculty and staff live here.

A charming neighborhood of mature Tucson homes, Sam Hughes is in a continual state of revitalization as new owners re-habilitate the historic buildings. The streets are closed to through traffic, a policy instituted by one of our previous mayors when his mother lived there. The streets are tree-lined and you get a sense of calm in Sam Hughes. There is steady bicycle traffic because of the proximity to the university.

The area is popular with young families as there is a very highly regarded elementary school smack-dab in the middle of the neighborhood. And University High, a magnet school for the brainy, is on the southern border. Himmel Park and Branch Library are also enclosed inside the two-mile square area.

There are 1748 homes in the greater Sam Hughes area. Home prices range dramatically because of the age vs. rehab situation. You could find a home here for anywhere from $100,000 to $850,000. Maybe a few lower, maybe a few higher.

Alta Vista Estates - Views & Urban Comfort

The upper reaches of the Foothills, almost at the anklebone. North of Cimarron Estates, between Craycroft on the west and Kolb Road on the east, it's bordered on the north by Craycroft where it curves around to Ventana Canyon on Kolb.

Most of the homes are newer than some of its foothill's neighbors. This is a pretty hilly subdivision, with many superb Tucson homes in the $400,000+ to the $3,000,000 class. Every home here will have some sort of magnificent view, more often of the city than the mountains, but there are some that have both.

Alta Vista is in Catalina foothills School District 16, considered by some folks to be one of the best around. You can not go wrong here if the price fits you.

Skyline Bel Air Estates - It's Nice!

Part of the Foothills. Most homes here have either awesome mountain or city views, and some have both.

The 470 Tucson homes here are almost all mature, having been built between 1960 and 1985. However, many of these have been remodeled and updated by new owners. Almost all the home-sites are close to an acre in size, some larger, so there can be a lot of elbow room between you and your neighbor.

In Skyline Bel Air you can expect to pay anywhere from $400,000 to $650,000 depending on the home's age and the views. People in Tucson charge big-time extra for superior views.

Skyline Bel Air is in the Catalina Foothills School District #16, which some people feel is one of the best in the state.

Skyline Country Club Estates - My Country Club. Deluxe!

Enter the GATED community from Swan Road, just north of Skyline Drive. A beautiful golf course neighborhood. Skyline CC is an area of 280 luxury homes on large sites around a magnificent par 71 private golf course, and spreading along one of the loveliest ridges in the Santa Catalina Mountains. Home prices vary as the subdivision was started in the early 1960's and lot prices were an unheard-of, outrageous, $12,000 per lot. Today, if one were available, think $400,000 + for that same site. Some of the homes are vintage, but more and more Skyline CC homes are being renovated either by investors or by new owners. Many people live here just part of the year.

For an older, dated home, we might find you one in the $500,000 range, but if you want newer, already rehab'd, lookin' good, then we're talking $800,000 plus. These are special homes in a special neighborhood. Also in Catalina foothills School District 16, there are some younger families in the Skyline Country Club area.

Ventana Canyon Estates - Golf, Schools, Upscale Neighborhood

This is one of Tucson's newer sub-divisions, started in the 1980's. There are some smaller townhomes in the neighborhood priced in the $300,000+ range and up. Single family homes run up to several million. But there is a lot of range and variety. Most homes are newish, current.

Ventana Canyon is has quiet, curving, tree-lined streets and wonderful views . One of Tucson's 5-star travel destinations, Ventana Canyon Resort, is at the top of the ridge right against the Santa Catalina mountains. The hotel is operated by the very swank Loew's chain. There are 27 holes of golf at Ventana, so members can play a private 18, while the public plays a semi-private, semi-public 18. I'm glad I'm not the head pro there; it does work out somehow, and the course is very highly rated.. Hole #3 - the "Hole-In-The-Wall" par 3 is world-renowned.

Like much of the foothills, schools here are in well-respected Catalina foothills School District 16.
