Green Valley 55-plus golf community with views of the Santa Rita Mountains
Set 35 miles south of Tucson, San Ignacio is a 55-plus community centered on the San Ignacio Golf Club, at the southern end of Green Valley. “It’s newer than the Country Club of Green Valley and a whole different feel than the north end of town," says Trina Alberta Oesterle, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty who has over 14 years of experience. The Santa Rita Mountains are about 30 miles east and serve as the neighborhood backdrop. “It’s got more rolling hills, bigger mountain views and the houses are mostly built in the '90s and 2000s." Lots here are large for the area, and according to Oesterle, particularly desirable to full-time residents. A golf membership isn’t required to live here, but most residents are part of Green Valley Recreation (GVR), a nonprofit that operates more than a dozen recreation centers across town. Oesterle recommends San Ignacio for buyers who value higher elevation and scenic views over proximity to local businesses. Green Valley's town center is 6 miles away, and the overall CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4.
Carving streets loop around the San Ignacio golf course, letting many backyards open to fairways and distant Santa Rita Mountain views.
Neighborhoods spread along the foothills, where desert washes and greenbelts weave between rows of tan-and-terracotta rooftops.

Canoa Ranch offers half-court basketball, pickleball and an indoor pool, while Canoa Hills features a walking track, bocce and an outdoor pool. “Those are within half a mile and then you can go to any of the others in the entire area,” Oesterle says.

Some subdivisions also offer shared amenities, like San Ignacio Villas’ community pool—especially popular in summer, when temperatures soar past 100 degrees. San Ignacio is composed of planned, sidewalk-lined subdivisions. Single-family ranch-style homes were built between the late 20th century and early 2000s, and have two to three bedrooms and Spanish-style details like arched entryways and clay-tiled roofs. Layouts range from 1,300 to 2,600 square feet and often include attached garages and covered patios. Gravel-packed lots range from 6,000 square feet to a half acre, peppered with low-water plantings like agave, palm trees and prickly pear cacti. Late 20th-century townhomes are generally smaller, with layouts of 1,300 to 1,500 square feet and lots ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 square feet. Single-family homes range from $250,000 to $590,000, while two-bedroom townhomes range from $220,000 to $360,000—both ranges depending on a home’s size and features.

Throughout the year, the San Ignacio Golf Club hosts occasional tournaments and demo days with big-name brands like Callaway, PXG and Titleist. Most Green Valley events are through GVR and include December’s Winter Wonderland Golf Cart Parade, as well as regular performances from live entertainers at the nearby West Center. “They’ll have a local blues band, Broadway shows, a photo art gallery—just about anything, but a lot of musical and theatrical performances,” Oesterle says.
