Tranquil, suburban living between Tucson and Arizona nature

Less than 10 miles from downtown Tucson, Colonia Del Valle’s subdivisions sit between national retailers in Park Place and restaurants along East 22nd Street. Though the proximity to the city remains an essential feature of the neighborhood, Tucson Mountain Park and Sabino Canyon are equally close, allowing residents to choose between the excitement of the city and the tranquility of the mountains at their leisure.

Diverse homes and price points in Colonia Del Valle

Homes in the neighborhood feature ranch-style architecture, primarily with brick exteriors or stucco finishes. While some homeowner associations have monthly costs, they are less frequent in Colonia Del Valle. Yale Estates, Douglas Terrace and Wilshire Heights are a few subdivisions within the community, none of which require an HOA fee. Houses closest to the mall sit on stone-filled lots, each tied together by a narrow sidewalk. On the other hand, homes farther south provide a more secluded feel deeply rooted in the desert landscape. Prices in the community vary, but three-bedroom homes cost between $250,000 and $380,000, while larger homes reach up to $800,000.
