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
