Subdivisions surrounded by mountains
Bear Canyon offers homebuyers expansive desert landscaping, stellar views and gated subdivisions south of Mt. Lemmon and east of Tucson. The community is dotted with small lakes, a refreshing sight in the city's dry atmosphere. "The lakes allow catch and release fishing, which many residents take advantage of," says Laurie Hassey, associate broker at Long Realty. "Most of the homes also have a wonderful view since mountains basically surround us," she notes. Homes with various styles and lot sizes fill the area, each associated with different HOA fees and amenities. Bear Canyon attracts those looking for privacy and options without sacrificing convenience.

Space, sizes and styles to choose from
Homebuyers looking for a gated community have a few choices in Bear Canyon. Subdivisions of spacious villas make up the neighborhood's eastern end, with Powder Horn Ranch and Lakes at Castle Rock being the most prominent. Powder Horn Ranch offers more spacious lots, while amenities, including a recreation center, a pool and lake views, enhance Lakes at Castle Rock. "Ranch-style homes along North Woodland Road have more space and are often horse properties since there is a large equestrian center nearby," Hassey says. Whatever the address, the vistas are panoramic, with common architectural styles, including Pueblo Revivals and Spanish Missions decorated with stucco painted in light earth tones to ward off the heat. Homes range from $450,000 to $3.5 million, with a median price shy of $600,000, higher than the Tucson average. Sidewalks line some developments, but cacti and desert fauna are all over the sundrenched streets.

Escaping the heat in the summer months
Mount Lemmon is over 9,000 feet tall and always within view in Bear Canyon. "Living close to the mountain is a huge draw to the neighborhood," says Hassey, who has lived nearby for over 15 years. "During the winter, people head there to ski, and in the summer, they go up on the weekends to escape the heat. It's only a 40-minute drive to the peak." A short drive west leads to softball diamonds, soccer fields and more at Morris K Udall Park. Pickleball and volleyball courts are always busy in the evenings, and residents can utilize the public pool on hot summer days or set their dogs free at the attached dog park. In the neighborhood's southeastern corner, outdoor enthusiasts can walk along the 3-mile dirt trail at Isabella Lee Natural Preserve, a habitat for Sonoran Desert birds.
