North Area of Tucson and the Catalina Foothills
The Catalina Foothills is a very different experience from living in Central Tucson. Its quieter, more scenic, more upscale, and full of natural beauty. The Santa Catalina Mountains are a backdrop for homes in the north area of Tucson. Here’s some thoughts about the area.
Homes and Views
Catalina Foothills offer luxury desert living. Due to its higher elevation, it has cooler temperatures. Homes provide stunning mountain and city views. It comes with top?rated schools, and some of Tucson’s safest, most affluent neighborhoods. It’s beautiful and peaceful, but also more expensive and less walkable than central parts of the city.
Why Its Unique
It sits at a higher elevation and provides cooler temperatures and cleaner air. Homes offer mountain and city views, often from the same home.
Neighborhoods range from historic Joesler?designed estates to gated golf communities. As the area has expanded builders created many modern custom homes.

East and Northeast
The East and Northeast areas of Tucson are often grouped together. But they offer two distinct lifestyles.
The East area of Tucson includes the 85748 and 85730 zip codes, and the Northeast Tucson includes 85715 and 85749 zip codes including Tanque Verde Valley.
Features of the Northeast Tucson
Homes will have large lots. Often 1 acre or more and some areas are zone for 3.3+ acres. These larger lots are perfect for horse properties and zoning will allow horses.
The area is close to Sabino Canyon, Catalina Highway, and Mount Lemmon. Zoning prevents high-density development keeping it peaceful.
Features of East Tucson
East Tucson shares some traits with the Northeast. On balance, it is generally more suburban and accessible.
The East area is outside of Tucson’s main growth corridor. This provices a more quiet and low-traffic neighborhoods. Mountain zoning limits dense development and provides tranquility without going being rural
Things to Keep in Mind
Living in either the East or Northeast areas means you will need a Car. Walkability in only for hiking in the mountain areas.
Homes on unpaved roads in rural pockets are common. Great for horses, but not for bikes. The area is rural and encountering Wildlife (javelina, coyotes, bobcats) is common. Also, plan on longer drives to downtown, shopping or the university

Selling Your Home in The Greater Tucson Area?
Selling a home requires more than listing it in the Tucson MLS system. It’s about marketing. Marketing through multiple online channels.
To no one’s surprise, 80% of home buyers start their search on the internet. Homes must be visible on multiple internet channels. The more visible a home is, the faster it will sell.
And the photos on the mls make a difference. You can spend lots of money on home staging. But if that effort isn’t correctly shown in the MLS photos, you are not getting the full benefit.
We use multiple online marketing channels to showcase your home. We will build a stand-alone website built to show your home. Our marketing program targets key cities in the U. S. based on the season.
