Walkable suburb near Tucson amenities
Set in central Tucson with distant views of the Rincon Mountains, Dodge Flower is a mostly residential community that’s surrounded by nearby shopping, dining and recreation. “The big thing is location,” says Philip Shumway, a real estate agent with Tucson Property Executives and over 4 years of industry experience. Locals here are about 6 miles from Interstate 10 and downtown Tucson, 4 miles from the University of Arizona and within 2 miles of local businesses, restaurants and schools. The area’s walkable and popular with renters, many of whom are local college students. “It’s a huge rental market,” says Alexander Petersen, a Realtor with Realty One Group who has over 5 years of local experience. “It’s inner city, so there are a lot of options within walking distance. You can leave your house, ride a bike and go to a coffee shop.” Area houses of worship include Tucson Lighthouse Church and Catalina Heights Church of Christ in Christian Union.

Condos and single-family homes in Central Tucson
Set along residential streets laid out in a grid, Dodge Flowers’ homes were built during the mid- to late 20th century and are generally ranch-style with red brick or stucco facades. Most homes here are part of the local homeowners association, whose monthly dues of about $200 go toward community upkeep. “It’s an older side of town, so the majority were built during the 50s and 70s,” Shumway says. These two- to four-bedroom homes have layouts of 800 to 1,800 square feet and often include attached carports and patios or porches; their gravel-packed lots range from 4,000 to 9,000 square feet, often dotted with low-water plantings like prickly pear cacti, agave and the occasional palm tree. Prices typically range from $250,000 to $400,000, depending on a home’s size and renovations. Most residents here are renters, and both Shumway and Petersen say it’s a popular area for property investors renting to University of Arizona students.
There are also a handful of apartment buildings and condos in the area. Pueblo-inspired condos with adobe-style facades in the gated Flower Condominiums were built during the early 2000s. These two- to three-bedroom condos typically have 800- to 1,500-square-foot layouts and include assigned parking; residents here pay monthly HOA dues of about $350, which go toward maintenance. Prices range from about $150,000 to $250,000, depending on a condo’s size.

Tucson Botanical Gardens and parks nearby
Less than a mile away, the Tucson Botanical Gardens have been a community mainstay for over 50 years, offering educational activities for kids, art exhibits and hundreds of varieties of native and exotic flowers and succulents, including desert marigolds and pincushion cacti. About 5 miles away, the 130-acre Reid Park is a hub for all things sports and recreation. Petersen says you’ll see locals at the park “jogging, biking, walking their dog, hitting the driving range; the zoo’s in the park as well.” The park’s 2-mile, paved loop trail is popular for a morning run, while the Reid Park Zoo is a go-to locale for a family outing; golfers may hit the links at either of the park’s two 18-hole golf courses. For striking desert views and dirt-packed hiking, Shumway recommends the Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, 11 miles away.

The striking LightsUp! A Festival of Illumination in November is a highlight, where the gardens are lit up with thousands of string lights and locals enjoy hot chocolate while getting into the holiday spirit. Less than a mile away, Photographic Works hosts art galleries and workshops throughout the year in subjects like bookmaking and hand-coloring photographs. On game days, sports fans and students may head 4 miles away to Arizona Stadium to see the University of Arizona Wildcats play football. “You’ll see students dressed up in school colors, and the whole university is tailgating all day,” Petersen says.
Interstate 10 access and Sun Tran buses
Downtown Tucson and Interstate 10 are about 6 miles away, the latter leading 116 miles to Phoenix. Shumway says Grant Road is the main thoroughfare here, which runs east to west through Tucson and is dotted with shopping and dining. The University of Arizona is about 4 miles away, and while the neighborhood is walkable and bike-friendly, Petersen says locals typically drive or use Sun Tran buses to get to the university. Tucson Medical Center is 2 miles away, and Tucson International Airport is 11 miles away.

Shopping and dining along Grant Road
Dodge Flower is mostly residential, but there are several small businesses, restaurants and car dealerships just outside of the neighborhood. At Northgate, a retail plaza, residents may grocery shop at the Walmart Neighborhood Market, browse retail chains and grab fast-food from spots like Little Caesar’s and Filiberto’s. “Tucson’s a big foodie city, and there are some new up-and-coming restaurants in that area,” Petersen says. Along Grant Road, Noodleholics is a casual Chinese eatery serving up steaming hot noodle bowls and comfort favorites like pan-fried dumplings and iced matcha. Mint Bar’s just down the street, a longstanding Tucson dive that’s been serving libations since 1934 in a no-frills, laidback setting with occasional events, like karaoke nights and stand-up comedy. Also along Grant Road, ADA Imports Market offers African goods and groceries, and The Shelter Cocktail Lounge is a retro bar with 60s-inspired decorations and memorabilia.
Le Rendez-vous is a great restaurant to meet up for fine dining.
