Amory Park is a charming, historic neighborhood
The historic Armory Park neighborhood was first popularized by its location close to the railroad in the 1880s. Now, it’s a hot spot for food, entertainment and art all within walking or biking distance to Downtown. “It’s always been a popular neighborhood," says Tony Ray Baker, a Re/Max Select Realtor who was born and raised in Tucson. “Because of the renaissance of the downtown area in the last 10 years, it’s gotten even crazier.” From preserving the stately Victorian-era homes to maintaining its namesake park, residents take pride in their neighborhood. “We have an active neighborhood association board that has collectively planted many trees along our streets making us one of the best tree shaded areas in the city,” says David Bachman-Williams, president of the Amory Park Neighborhood Association. “With the city government's help, we have added to and fixed many of our sidewalks.” The area is mostly residential, with a handful of museums, galleries and restaurants directly in the neighborhood. Armory Park’s CAP Index is 6 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4.
Armory Park takes its name from the late 1800's Military Armory that eventually relocated.
