Cherry Avenue offers investment opportunities in Tucson’s Southside
Decades-old homes and several parks fill the neighborhood of Cherry Avenue, about 10 miles south of Tucson. Residents are drawn here in part for the prices. “Everything there is more affordable, and it is a very mixed community of homes,” says Shawn Edgar, a Realtor with over 21 years of experience with OMNI Homes International. “This area is ripe for renovations. You see a lot of older, dated properties, and because of the price, you can buy them at a reasonable price, fix them up and provide nice living.” Located in the Southside, the neighborhood is near a few of the city’s major employers, including Tucson International Airport and Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.
Spanish-influenced single-family homes, townhouses and mobile homes
Single-family homes, townhouses and mobile homes are grouped into communities in Cherry Avenue. Many of the 1970s ranch-style homes here have slump block exteriors and carports. These single-story homes range from $190,000 to $325,000. There are also some Spanish-influenced New Traditional homes that were built in the 21st century, though they rarely go on the market. By May 2025, one single-story home listed for $225,000 and a two-story home sold for $265,000. Townhouses are priced between $170,000 and $240,000. In mobile and manufactured home communities, listings range from $60,000 to $295,000. Some of these communities have pools or recreational vehicle (RV) spaces. “In [Cherry Avenue], we’re seeing a lot of rejuvenation,” Edgar says. “You’re going to have to pay attention to how the mechanical and electrical boxes are. Many of those older homes still have evaporative cooling; they don’t have air conditioning.”
