The Tucson Foothills is an area that extends from Northwest of Tucson all the way to the Northeast side and up by the Mount Lemmon highway. This are is categorized by custom homes clinging impossibly to the edges of hills, high-end shopping centers and stores, well-known spas and resorts, and restaurants with amazing views. You can buy anything in this area, from luxury condos to enormous homes with guest houses that begin in the millions of dollars. Yard space is a precious luxury, since most of the time pools along with most of the yard have to be built up and walled in because of the hilly landscape.

Homes in this area range from older brick, ranch styles on large lots to Santa Fe stuccos in developments with small yards to contemporary homes on mountain lots with natural desert yards and unpaved roads. Unlike most places where unpaved roads are a sign of poverty, here the unpaved roads are because of the hills and rough terrain, so it becomes a sign of affluence and exclusivity; census information indicates this area has the fifth highest per capita income in Arizona.

You have access to the nationally known golf courses, resorts and spas, just 30 minutes from downtown museums, clubs, and nightlife, and close to all the high-end shopping and art galleries that thrive in the foothills area.
