Marana neighborhood close to national park and conveniences
In the bedroom community of Marana, Ironwood Reserve is among the closest neighborhoods to the Tucson Mountains side of Saguaro National Park. Safford Peak — commonly called Sombrero Peak — watches over this suburban neighborhood from afar, putting avid hikers within minutes of rewarding hillside treks and scenic overlooking views of the valley. “It’s great for freeway access, but you’re not right along the freeway. There’s also great amenities like schools, you have gym facilities, restaurants, grocery stores,” says Rachel Clark-Munday, a Realtor with eXp Realty, who also runs a YouTube channel called Living in Tucson Arizona by Rachel Clark. “Then, I think a great highlight point is that it’s close to an outlet shopping mall, and you’re about 15 minutes from Downtown Tucson.”
