Countryside
Uniform yards contain a variety of home sizes
Houses in Countryside are parsed into uniform lots, dropped onto neat streets that end in cul de sacs. The Countryside neighborhood is technically made of several micro-communities, meaning house styles vary from street to street. Most houses in the northern half of the community are two-story bungalows with beige facades. Generous, paved driveways and attached garages are standard, as are terracotta-style shingles on the roofs. Tiny dirt or gravel yards are home to trees and shrubs, adding color to the dry landscape. Single-story bungalows are more common in the southern half, where the newly paved streets offer a reasonable parking space. Three-bedrooms are the typical accommodation, ranging from $300,000 to $500,000.

A hike among the cacti
After school, kids can head to Arthur Pack Regional Park. The jungle gym and swing sets will keep little kids occupied. Those looking for a friendly game of baseball should try out the diamond. For something less competitive, take a walk along the Hedgehog Trail; just be sure to watch out for snakes. At Sunset Pointe Park, locals bring their pups for a walk, stretching out and relaxing on the open field. This park has a small playground, too. For sightseeing and hiking, try the Hartman Saguaro Cactus Preserve and snap a few pictures.

Arts events honor traditions
Marana and Tucson have plenty of events for residents to explore throughout the seasons. The Tucson Children’s Museum hosts discovery nights where kids can learn more about science and art. Adults can explore the layout of the stars with the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association. They bring telescopes to the Saguaro National Park for public use. Honor Native American heritage at the Arts Fair, which features ceramics, baskets, clothing and artwork on display by Native American artists.Nachos paired with boba
There are a couple of local restaurants in the neighborhood. Head to rAAAspasados y mas for Mexican cuisine. The locally owned and operated joint serves variations of boba, nachos, tostitos and loaded fries for a satisfying post-shopping meal. Next door is a Chinese spot, Flaming Wok. Combos of fried rice and noodles are an affordable, quick bite. Saturday afternoons are perfect for shopping, and locals love the Tucson Premium Outlet because it meets the demand. Shoppers will find nearly any name brand imaginable for that perfect summer or winter fit.

An ensemble of creative options
Kids in Countryside attend DeGrazia Elementary, rated B overall by Niche. The school has an anti-bullying campaign in which counselors provide lessons on what it means to have positive interpersonal relationships. When they reach Tortolita Middle, kids have their choice of fine arts programs like music, band, drama and orchestra. The school also earns a B from Niche. Mountain View High School boasts an A-minus overall and offers various ensembles like jazz, symphonic and marching band. “The neighborhood schools are close by,” says Realtor Tresa Rodriguez of Tierra Antigua and resident of Sunset Point.Bus routes surround the neighborhood
To get around, folks sometimes utilize the SunTran, a bus running from the neighborhood's outskirts into the shopping center. After boarding the bus at the Linda Vista and Hartman intersection, reaching the outlet takes just a few minutes. Unfortunately, walking or biking would still be necessary within the neighborhood, so driving one’s own car is still the most practical way to travel. “The neighborhood is a great location, right next to the freeway,” says Rodriguez. “You’re not a far drive from anything.”

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
