This large, diverse area includes established family communities, rural "horse friendly" areas and newer large lot subdivisions in close proximity to the natural beauty of the Rincon Mountains and Saguaro National Park East. From inexpensive acre lots at $175,000 to 36 acre gated lots nestled in the mountains for $600,000, the choices are many. Furthermore, much of the property is rolling and hilly with views of all four surrounding mountain ranges. In this rapidly expanding area, a new master planned community at Rocking K Ranch including resorts, golf courses, homesites and new homes are in the planning process and will act as the future anchor of this area. This development will also bring new higher end restaurants and shops along with additional infrastructure currently unavailable.

This area lends itself to the outdoor enthusiast who enjoys hiking or riding horses in the Rincons or biking along Old Spanish Trail; a wide, scenic highway that winds beautifully through the area.

The southeast is the most accessible to Tucson's high tech hub at both University of Arizona Science and Technology Park and the airport. With drive times of 15 - 20 minutes to jobs at Raytheon, Burr Brown, and the likes, the attractiveness is apparent.

Shopping is convenient in established centers in the northern portion of the area with several new major grocery chains opening that will lead to new full service neighborhood centers. The southern part of this area is more rural and requires 10 -15 minute drive time to major facilities with only convenience stores closeby. Residents of this area are only 30 minutes from Tucson's downtown area and art district and the heart of the University of Arizona main campus.
