Welcoming Tucson community adjacent to spacious parks and local shopping
Offering views of the Santa Catalina mountains from nearly every direction, Dietz is a well-maintained Southeastern Tucson area known for variety. “It’s not a cookie-cutter neighborhood for sure,” says Lori Hinojosa, a resident since 1992 and co-founder of the Dietz Neighborhood Association. “When I moved in, there were more middle-aged to retired-aged people—now we have families with children playing outside and riding bikes in the streets. It’s absolutely a positive thing.” Along with proximity to grocery stores, a well-known skating rink and plenty of parks, the Dietz area has a celebratory, communal spirit. “Everyone has their own space, but come the holidays, it’s not uncommon to hear all kinds of music playing in the neighborhood. And I’m good with that,” Hinojosa says.
Most Dietz homes feature a two-car carport, with sidewalks and individual mailboxes.
Dietz is a popular, family-friendly neighborhood on Tucson's Eastside.

GreatSchools:
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.
View GreatSchools Rating Methodology
Affordable housing is hard to come by in the area. In the neighborhood there is at least one house for sale or for rent every block. Even where I live in a duplex house on a corner is expensive. The cost of utilities on top of the rent is outrageous which makes it hard to get ahead. The reason many of my peers my own age can not afford to buy a house is having enough money to save after throwing it all away to rent year after year, which is usually more costly than a mortgage.

Mostly you have to have a degree to get any job worth having. Everything else is minimum wage or below.

The neighborhood I live in is fairly nice but there are some places a bit run down. Also the road is treated like a highway with people constantly speeding through the street day and night. I like my neighbors, who are very friendly.
