NEIGHBORHOOD DESCRIPTION
-----------------------------------------------
Centrally located this property is a short driving distance to anything you may want to do during your visit to Tucson, Arizona. One of the best neighborhoods in Tucson, the Sam Hughes Historic District features a mix of quiet leafy streets lined with mid-century modern homes and a buzzing student scene. The neighborhood has an impressive 97 bike score and a 76 walk score, with the University of Arizona less than a 10-minute stroll away!

ABOUT TUCSON
----------------------
Guest ranches, horseback rides, and cattle drives recall Old West roots, but you’ll also find yourself smack-dab in a hub of spas, resort hotels, and championship golf courses...not to mention amazing, trend-setting restaurants. Tucson was the first city to earn the designation of a World City of Gastronomy by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). Plus, with a thriving visual and performing arts scene and respected galleries and museums, Tucson’s vibrant multicultural heritage shines.

Famous for its dramatic beauty, the Sonoran Desert covers this region with spectacular cacti – including the giant saguaro, a symbol of the American Southwest. But don’t be fooled by the term “desert” because mountain ranges in all directions offer scenic drives and even snow skiing. In the winter you can go for a hike in the valley, then drive up to Mt. Lemmon and enjoy the slopes. Tucson’s legendary year-round sunshine and saguaro-and-sunset landscape have romanced visitors for decades. Tucson's coldest month is January when the average temperature overnight is 38.9°F. In June, the warmest month, the average day time temperature rises to 100.2°F.

Once you immerse yourself in the laid-back atmosphere of Tucson, you may never want to leave.
