FAIRFIELDarrow

A large part of the north area of Tucson is known as “the foothills”. Homes continue to move higher and higher onto the slopes of the Catalina Mountains which run east and west and tend to be the north boundary of the city. One of the major reason people move into the foothills is for the views. As homes and businesses spread throughout the Tucson valley, the night lights more and more resemble a jewel box and the storms which rumble through the area in our monsoon summers bring their share of nature at her most dramatic. At the same time, there is much to be said for the mountain views as well. Many foothills homes have telescopes aimed at the wildlife who make their homes on the peaks and in the crevasses that tower overhead.Based on this, Fairfield was a perfect answer as to what to do with the ridges that existed along the lower portion of the mountains. The goal of the Fairfield builder was to place homes along the ridges in such a way that almost every lot had a city or mountain view and some had both. The homes here are made up mainly of single family homes most of which were built between 1979 and 1992. Almost all of them are 1 story with 2 and 3 bedrooms and have from 1400 to 3400 square feet. The style of these homes includes Territorial, Santa Fe, Ranch, Contemporary, Patio Home and Mediterranean.The foothills area near Fairfield offers numerous markets, shops and restaurants and additionally it’s just a short drive into the city itself to the malls and major strip centers. Due to the wide area covered by Fairfield, the community falls into two school districts, Tucson Unified School District. and Catalina Foothills School District

People are drawn to Tucson for many reasons. Not least of which are the dramatic mountain views. What? Mountains in Arizona? It’s surprising how often Tucson is misunderstood.

Most of the 1100 acres of the La Reserve community is gated. The residents enjoy the the wildlife such as the roadrunners who can be seen chasing cars while the quail keep their large families close. Once in a while a javelina or two will wander through looking for food (how they can eat the sharp needled prickly pear cactus pads is a mystery).

RANCHO DEL LAGOarrow

Mushrooms!! Did you ever go into your backyard one morning and find mushrooms (or toadstools) growing in your yard? That’s what happened in the southeast area of the Tucson Valley. Many Realtors can recall having to drive “all the way to the Vail area” to show some land. Just too far from anything.The area’s population was so small that the K through 12 school was in one school. Not quite a one room school like Little House On The Prairie but close.Then one day in the early 2000’s, Rancho del Lago was created. The next day (or so it seemed) no school could hold the numbers of children who suddenly appeared.Homes sprang up along the luxurious green of the 18 hole challenging golf course. Others are located on the hillsides with beautiful views of the Rincon Mountains and the Catalina’s as well.The higher elevation than Tucson, brings a somewhat cooler feel to the air. Builders suddenly discovered the advantages of the area and brought their own styles with them. Lennar Homes, Doucette, Pepper Viner and most recently, Del Webb has brought a lovely gated development into the area.Homes range from 2 to 5 bedrooms and from 1300 to over 4,000 square feet. There is something for just about everyone. Rancho del Lago is located in the Vail School District.

RITA RANCHarrow

Today there are two major supermarkets and dozens of smaller stores, shops, restaurants, fast food, banks and drug stores, etc.Rita Ranch is in the Vail Unified School District.

SAM HUGHESarrow

Bounded by Speedway on the north, Broadway on the south, Country Club on the east and Campbell on the west, Sam Hughes District is one of those areas that long time citizens speak of but newer residents to the area don’t quite know what they are talking about. Basically it is made up of a group of subdivisions and streets that banded together to form a governing body to ensure that the area is maintained and not allowed to fall into disrepair. Sam Hughes is probably made up of perhaps more historic homes than you will find in most of the other Tucson communities. Due to the age of many of the homes, most owners wanted the area to continue to look as it did in its heyday. This has caused the Sam Hughes community to be in demand by people who love restoring older homes and people who just find a comfort in the settled look and feel of the area.So, who was this Sam Hughes guy? Well, he was born in Wales, Scotland and moved with his family to the US in 1837 when he was eight years old. He never had any formal schooling but when his parents died when he was still young, he made sure his eight brothers and sister were educated. He came to Tucson in 1858, married in 1863 and fathered a large family. In the 1870’s he helped incorporate Tucson and became an alderman on the first city council. In 1871 he helped to establish public education in the territory. One of the first subdivisions in Tucson named the new elementary school in its area after Sam Hughes in 1928 eleven years after his death.According to the Tucson MLS, Sam Hughes homes for sale are made up of a very wide variety of sizes, types, and prices. Homes in this area were built roughly between the 1920’s and the 1990’s. These homes can range from 700 to 4,000 square feet. Most are one story and have anywhere between 2 and 8 bedrooms. The styles are as different as the price and sizes; Bungalow, Territorial, Contemporary, Southwestern, and Ranch. Sam Hughes is located in what is known as School District #1 (Tucson Unified School District or TUSD) The Museum School For The Visual Arts is just one example of how TUSD has worked to keep students wanting to be in school. In this case the students whose main interest is in the arts go to standard classes in the morning and in the afternoon they work with a wide variety of art forms. The school is held in the Tucson Museum Of Art. This is just one indication of TUSD’s interest in including all young people in education while weaving standard learning with their particular interests.

VAIL (Zip Code 85641)arrow

A new town … almost.When you live in the high desert, elevation counts especially during the summer. With this in mind, more and more people are looking to the southeast part of the valley at what used to be a tiny wide spot in the road known as Vail. Over 800 feet higher than Tucson, the Vail temperatures are cooler.The actual “center” of Vail is about 20 miles southeast of Tucson. Less than 15 years ago Vail was one of those places that was considered (if considered at all) as one of the ways to get to Colossal Cave. And, if you passed through from I-10 which is 2 miles to the south, you might want to stop by the little Catholic Church located in the “center of town” which is between the two Southern Pacific railroad tracks. In truth, both places have their place in the history of the area. If you turn off I-10 at exit 279 and go north on Colossal Cave Road (yes, it’s a real cave and you can visit), you will go through the town. Oops!! Don’t go too fast as you’ll be past before you know it. But don’t be fooled by what you see. Vail is a community that is growing by leaps and bounds. Faster than the schools can be built, homes in the Vail area are popping up like mushrooms. What is vacant land today may very well be a new subdivision within a few months. Just before crossing the first set of tracks, you will pass some of Vail’s businesses. It’s a great place to stop for a cold drink and a bite to eat or even enjoy a hearty breakfast or dinner. Great food!! And a 10 minute drive takes you to two large shopping centers with major supermarkets and all the other smaller stores you usually associate with a shopping center. Another supermarket is soon to be built even closer. Then on to St. Rita in the Desert which is on the east side of the road as you cross the first set of tracks. This tiny Catholic chapel was dedicated to a Japanese chemist named Jokichi Takamine in 1935 by his wife. He had converted to Catholicism after marrying Caroline Field who moved to Tucson after his death in 1922. The church had agreed with the family that there would never be any alterations to the chapel. More buildings have been added to the grounds as the need arose but the chapel is as it was when built. The goal was to offer services to the miners who brought their ore to the railroad siding in Vail. As you go on north, following the signs toward Colossal Cave, you will pass some of the many subdivisions that have been built in the past few years. And then you will come to some of the magnificent scenery that draws people to the area. The gigantic saguaros with their tenuous hold on the sides of rocky cliffs are an amazement to see. The deep canyons where javelina, deer and even occasional bear and cougar reign over the lesser animals of the area. Vail is very fortunate to have one of the best school districts in Arizona. Vail Unified School District. The schools are forward looking and entered the computer age far ahead of most schools throughout the country. The District was featured on several major television networks on shows such a 60 minutes and 20/20. There is excellent interaction between the teachers and parents and, in many cases, they have even made it possible to eliminate the need for those heavy backpacks.
