The Preserve at Dove Mountain
Neighborhood in Marana, Arizona
Pima County 85658
Gated community with Spanish and Pueblo Revival homes
This gated neighborhood’s features include entrance signs with silhouettes of a howling coyote and road runner and medians covered in common Sonoran plants like barrel and saguaro cacti and palo verde trees. “You feel it was designed, respectfully, to the environment and the mountains. It was designed to capture the beauty of that area,” Tony Ray Baker, a Realtor with Re/Max Professionals, says about the entire Dove Mountain area.The Preserve consists of Spanish and Pueblo Revival homes, some of which come with amenities like backyard pools. Homes costs mostly run between $500,000 and $800,000, but some of the most luxurious options can reach to $1 million. The neighborhood also has an overall CAP Index score of 1 out of 10, putting it below the national average of 4.

A gateway to the Tortolita Preserve
The primarily flat Tortolita Preserve is convenient for hikers looking for gentler treks. “We live and breathe the desert,” Baker says. “It’s a beautiful walking area. It’s a great spot to go hiking. You can go horseback riding, and it’s a great place for birders.”The Preserve is also right down the road from the Highlands at Dove Mountain, a public 18-hole golf course in the neighborhood of the same name. Located south of The Preserve, the Tangerine Sky Community Park has a playground and paved trails for relaxing walks. Park visitors might even pass by some art installations depicting local wildlife.

Coding and Shark Tank class at Dove Mountain CSTEM K-8
The science- and technology-focused Dove Mountain CSTEM K-8 covers the area and gets an A-minus grade from Niche. Elective courses include one called “Code to the Future,” which teaches basic programming through various applications and acts as a pathway to AP computer classes in high school. Another class inspired by the Shark Tank TV show challenges students to come up with products they can pitch. Students may then finish their public education at Mountain View High School, which gets a B-plus from Niche.

Celebrating Easter and Founders’ Day in Marana
The Dove Mountain area isn’t too far from several Marana events. They include the town’s signature Founders’ Day, which occurs at the municipal complex on Civic Center Drive. Those at the March event can watch a parade, browse classic cars and hunt for crafts. Many children also come out for the Egg-Streme Easter Egg Hunt. Hosted at Gladden Farms Community Park, the event typically occurs on the Saturday before Easter.

A few miles from I-10 travel
The Preserve is about 4 miles from Interstate 10, which offers a route toward downtown Tucson and Phoenix. The neighborhood is about 18 miles north of downtown Tucson. Although the Tucson International Airport is the region’s hub for commercial flights, the Marana area is less than an hour and a half from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. “Some people will choose to just drive straight into the Phoenix airport and take the flight out of there,” Baker says, referring to how some travelers will drive to Phoenix to avoid layovers. About 15 minutes east, the Oro Valley Hospital addresses medical needs.Acclaimed Arizona craft beers at Dove Mountain brewpub
Sitting right outside The Preserve area, the Dove Mountain Brewing Company is known for its acclaimed, handcrafted drinks. The establishment only has Arizona craft brews and offers over 40 selections on tap. Patrons can also pair their ales, sours and lagers with seasonal meals made with locally sourced ingredients. A little farther east, Nico’s Taco Shop and Dove M Chinese Bistro offer a few more dining options. The restaurants share the shopping center with a Fry’s Marketplace grocery store.
