Green-minded Eastern Tucson community close to outdoor escapes
Originally built to be self-contained and the city’s “Solar Community,” Civano stands out among other East Tucson areas. “It’s definitely a more environmentally conscious, green neighborhood,” says Chaz Elsten, Realtor for AZ Flat Fee and Tucson native. Speaking to its commitment to sustainability, the area includes the Neighborhood Center featuring a landscaped plaza built to utilize solar energy and water conservation systems. Along with a low CAP Crime Index score of 1, Elsten says “It’s got a stronger sense of community and is in what’s considered one of the better school districts.” The neighborhood is also known for the Civano Nursery—the largest retail plant shop in Tucson—housing all types of desert flora and a play area for kids. Locals are also welcome to plant citrus trees and herbs in the 48-plot community garden. Homes here vary in size and style, and people enjoy the sidewalk-lined streets and the proximity to outdoor activities in the picturesque Rincon Mountains.
Lush trees line Civano streets, with nearly all landscaping being drought tolerant.
The Civano Community Garden is a highly desirable space for gardens who live in Civano.
Civano residents can visit the multiple pools and tennis court in the heart of the community.

Plant-shopping at the Civano Nursery and hiking further east
Residents enjoy buying and browsing all species of cacti, fountain grass and potted palm plants at the beloved Civano Nursery. Kids can check out the tiny slide or scribble on a green chalkboard in the sand-filled play area, and the nursery has rabbits and goats for people to feed. Sierra Morado Park is within walking distance and features a small playground and basketball court. The half-mile long Pantano Wash cuts through the northeastern part of the area, and Elsten says people like riding horses through it in the dry season. Thirteen miles east of the neighborhood, locals can hike the 2-mile Tanque Verde Falls Trail in the Rincon Mountains filled with rocky, cacti-covered landscape. After heavy rainfall, water collects within small creeks in the mountains and flows down to a billowing waterfall at the end of the trek.
Civano Nursery has been open for 25 years, and offers plants, play areas, and goat viewing.
Walkable from Civano, Horse Haven prides itself in pristine horse boarding and lessons for all.

Spanish influences and pops of color in housing
“There’s a lot of colorful homes that have a sort of Santa Fe style—kind of has an artist vibe,” Elsten says. Mission-Revival homes and Pueblos with adobe exteriors built in the early 2000s are gathered in subdivisions near the neighborhood center and average around $315,000; these two to three-bedroom houses sit side-by-side and feature small, cement front walkways and veranda-covered back patios. Larger Mission-Revival homes and modern Pueblos, mostly built in the 2010s, are priced between $500,000 and $750,000. These homes sit in gated subdivisions throughout the western portion of the community and offer stone privacy walls around grassy and rock-landscaped backyards, with an occasional in-ground pool.
New Traditional properties with Spanish influence built in the 2020s can be found in the Saguaro Trails subdivision and average $560,000. The narrow neighborhood streets here are laid in a grid in the north near Irvington Road and start to branch out going south toward East Billy Road. Driveways lead out to well-paved sidewalks lined with mesquite trees and mature cacti. Civano has one HOA, and residents in various subdivisions can expect to pay between $90 and $120 in monthly fees.
