Tucson homes, and quality of living in general, offer everything anyone may wish for in the Arizona lifestyle—rare desert beauty, great recreational opportunities, fine schools and spectacular neighborhoods with all the amenities without the spoils of larger Phoenix.

Strangely, ironic, Tucson may be Arizona's best-kept secret—right up there with the proper spelling of "saguaro" and the excellent skiing in Arizona's White Mountains. Nevertheless, Tucson's relative obscurity in America's Arizona awareness may double as its greatest advantage, the source of its magnetism for discerning homebuyers and shoppers of Tucson homes and anyone who wants to live in healthy communities -well placed at the intersection of tradition and trend. Rich in history, breathtakingly beautiful in all directions, and boldly driving into the twenty-first century, relocating to this area and making Tucson home offers extremely desirable quality of living and Tucson homes are available at attractive prices.
Forget Phoenix
Phoenix has sprawled across the desert landscape, becoming a smoggy-skied spread of strip malls and housing tracts, a manufactured megalopolis akin to Los Angeles…without an ocean or movie stars. Popular knowledge has exploded the old myth about "a dry heat"; it is just plain hot, and the August monsoons make it humid, too. A seriously injured victim of America's great real estate delusion, Phoenix has gone boom and bust several times in the last fifteen years, and the housing market remains among the nation's most depresses and volatile. Some experts fear Phoenix real estate may suffer even greater devaluation as energy, water prices soar, and California fights Arizona for the Colorado River.
Tucson, on the other hand, has preserved its distinctive desert identity, grown modestly while respecting native architecture, and showing respect for the delicate environment. Home to the University of Arizona, Tucson enjoys, thrives on, and ardently supports arts, culture, and scholarship even as it builds cutting-edge post-modern industries and businesses. Naturally, the University contributes handsomely to Tucson's economy, and U of A supports Tucson's emergence as "Optics Valley", the nation's leading producer of high-tech optical and photoelectric products. As everywhere else, real estate in Tucson has lost some of its value, but compared to most markets, Tucson homes have held value through the Great Recession, and right now Tucson is not just a homebuyer's market but a homebuyer's paradise. Temperate, immensely livable, Tucson remains a healthy haven for people in search of clean air and a proper respect for the environment.
"Funny," observes one long-time Phoenix resident, "Tucson has everything anyone ever would wish in the Arizona lifestyle—rare desert beauty, great recreational opportunities, fine schools and spectacular neighborhoods with all the amenities. But when folks think Arizona, they never think of Tucson." Musing for a moment, the wise Tucsonian suggests, "I think I like it better that way."
