Suburban living east of Tucson

Broadway East is a Tucson suburb with conveniences and outdoor recreation opportunities around every corner. As for its housing, “It’s a very mixed neighborhood of old and new styles of homes,” says Donald Wehn, Realtor for Century 21 1st American, who has an office in the neighborhood. “There are some homes from the ’60s and ’70s that still have the original pink tile and toilets, which people like. That’s a draw to the area, as well as the houses that have been completely remodeled. A lot of people have opened them up and made big modern floorplans.”

Broadway homes with southwestern character and large lots

House hunters can find a mix of condos, townhouses and single-family homes in the neighborhood. Most single-family homes have stucco or brick siding and flat rooftops, painted in earth tones that complement the surroundings, as well as carports, xeriscaped yards and mountain views. Well-planned streets offer sidewalks and multiple cul-de-sacs. According to Wehn, one benefit of the area is that “A lot of the older-style homes have larger lots, so like .12 to maybe .25 acres as opposed to .07 acres, which is what you get in the newer homes in that same area.” Prices range from the mid-$100,000s, which could afford a one-bedroom condo, to the mid-$400,000s, which can afford a renovated three-bedroom single-family home.
