Carriage Park
Neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona
Pima County 85710
Carriage Park homes with diverse price points
Though house hunters could find condos and townhouses in the neighborhood, most residences are single-family ranch-style homes with brick siding and low-sloping or flat roof lines. Many have thoughtfully xeriscaped yards, carports, sidewalks and a backdrop of the mountains. Homes are situated on winding neighborhood streets planned to accommodate numerous cul-de-sacs. Prices range from around $200,000, which could get a two-bedroom condo, to the mid-$600,000s, which gets you a home built in the last five years with more square footage.

Heading outdoors in Pima County
While there’s no park within the neighborhood that kids can walk to without crossing a major street, Jesse Owens Park is about a mile away and offers playground equipment, athletic fields and a public pool. Bikers or joggers will appreciate the neighborhood’s proximity to the Chuck Huckelberry Loop, often just called “The Loop,” which runs along the Pantano Wash. This trail system connects several parks and extends for more than 130 miles; there are multiple parking areas so residents can drive to the trail. Hikers aren’t too far from their next adventure; residents just need to hop on East Old Spanish Trail for about 6 miles to reach the nearest entrance to Saguaro National Park. On days when the weather isn’t cooperating, the Ott Family YMCA offers indoor amenities like a gymnasium, fitness center and group exercise classes, as well as a skate park and splash pad outdoors.

Most of the neighborhood is residential, but residents can find plenty of conveniences along its borders.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
