Tucson’s Affluent El Encanto Estates provides many conveniences
El Encanto Estates was first developed in the 1920s by wealthy landowners who had been involved in ranching, banking, law and the automobile industry. Their mark is still seen today through this Tucson neighborhood’s luxury Southwestern homes. In addition to living in an affluent community, residents are close to chain big box stores, a signature city park and a diverse mix of restaurants and bars. “They [residents] don’t have to cross any major roads to go to Home Depot, In-N-Out Burger and the movie theater,” says Tony Ray Baker, a Realtor with Re/Max Professionals. “There’s a lot next to El Encanto.” The neighborhood is located along East Broadway Boulevard, which provides a straight route to downtown Tucson, less than 5 miles west. “This is a cool way to live close to downtown and the freeway, but far enough to not also be in that city activity,” Baker says.
Lucious lawns and foliage cover the yards of many El Encanto Estates homes.
El Encanto Estates residents are tucked into Midtown Tucson and can get anywhere in town quickly.

The neighborhood has luxury Southwestern homes and condos
Many homes in El Encanto are along roads with no sidewalks, and the neighborhood has a few distinct diagonal streets. Plants surrounding homes range from shrubs like barrel cacti and yucca bushes to tall, lanky palms. El Encanto’s housing includes Spanish Revival, Territorial Revival, ranch-style homes and mid-century moderns. “It’s pretty eclectic in there,” Baker says. “But they really try to keep things true to their original appearance.” Lot size is a key cost factor, and several homes on a third of an acre or less can sell from $330,000 to $600,000. A few homes with half-acre lots may go from $750,000 to $990,000, while a home over 3,500 square feet can fetch nearly $2 million. Depending on size, condos go from $170,000 to $290,000.
