More commonly known as the Catalina Foothills, Tucson's north corridor is a lovely,
foot-of-the-mountain stretch of rolling hills and elegant homes with panoramic views of
the dramatic Santa Catalinas and sparkling city lights. The foothills offers predominately
1-acre lots, ranging in price from $400,000 to $1,000,000+. The average price of a lot with
city views to the south and mountain views to the north, within the safe confines of a
gated community, is about $550,000. Homesites are typically deed restricted to ensure view
corridors and to preserve the desert flora and fauna.
Anchored by two world class destination resorts - Loews Ventana Canyon and Westin's La Paloma - this is an area brimming with boutique shopping and a variety of up-scale restaurants. The Old Pueblo's largest shopping center, Tucson Mall, is just minutes away. There is easy 15 minute access via several north-south roadways to the University of Arizona and into 'the city', while an additional 15 minute drive gets you to the airport or to the heartbeat of downtown Tucson. Recreational amenities abound with many hiking trails in the Catalina's, biking opportunities near the mountains and trailheads into the nationally acclaimed Sabino Canyon Recreation area, one of the finest in the national forest system. Additionally, many public parks offer tennis, swimming, ball fields and family picnicking facilities year around. |
