Local schools are about 5 miles away, and Sun Tran buses stop just outside of the neighborhood.

Sahuarita Stars & Stripes is one of the town's most popular events, celebrating the Fourth of July with live music, food trucks and a striking fireworks display at Anamax Park. Other highlights include December’s Winter Festival and Holiday Light Parade, where attendees enjoy ice skating, a tree lighting ceremony and photo ops with Santa. Smaller events, like improv classes and paint-and-sip nights, take place year-round at the Anamax Recreation Center.
Environmental concerns
