Tucson is located in southeastern Arizona in a desert valley surrounded by mountains. It is the second largest city in the state with a population of almost 800,000. With warm, dry weather and an average 70 degrees almost year-round, this city with a small town atmosphere is attracting prospective residents wanting to buy a new home in The Old Pueblo.
Downtown Tucson is full of historical and cultural sites. From the corner of Church and Washington streets, take a stroll through Snob Hollow, where the elite lived in the late 1800s. Barrio Historico is where private businesses and residences are crafted using typical Sonoran architecture—original, thick-walled adobe painted with vibrant colors.
Tucson is also the site of the University of Arizona. Collegiate life exerts a major influence on the local Tucson culture, lifestyle, and music scene. The combination of big city status and college students gives Tucson a sophisticated style, a youthful feel, and lots of entertainment.
Residents and tourists alike can enjoy a multitude of attractions: World famous Kartchner Caverns State Park, Kitt Peak Observatory, Tombstone, Coronado National Forest, Saguaro National Park, International Wildlife Museum, Arizona Historical Society, and the Reid Park Zoo. For a taste of the Old West, visit Old Tucson Studios.
Tucson is one of the most car-oriented large cities in America. Approximately 90 percent of people drive their car to work each day with a commute of 30 minutes or less. Highways, wide streets, parking lots, and shopping centers are all part of the common Tucson landscape.
