A mixture of housing and residents in central Tucson neighborhood
Officially designated as a national historic district in 2005, the Feldman’s area near downtown Tucson has existed since the early 20th century, with some of its oldest homes dating back to 1902. Construction boomed in Feldman’s during the 1920s tuberculosis epidemic because the southwest was considered the best climate to treat the illness. Today, two of the four sanitorium buildings created at the time have been converted into St. Luke’s Home assisted living facility and Castle Apartments where many University of Arizona (UArizona) students stay. “It’s a very eclectic neighborhood with people who’ve lived here for a long time and students who like the accessibility to the university,” says Susan Claassen, managing artistic director for the long-running Invisible Theatre in the community. Along with walking to small neighborhood parks, folks here enjoy walking a few blocks east for local shopping and dining on campus.
Nationally registered homes in Feldman’s
Because it’s adjacent to UArizona, Claassen says many homes on the eastern side of Feldman’s are largely made up of rental homes for students. But there are single-family homes of various styles as well, and a portion of them are on the National Register of Historic Places. Early 20th-century Spanish-influenced bungalows and Pueblos with stucco exteriors typically range between $160,000 and $275,000 and feature small, gravel backyards and porches with wooden verandas.
Larger Craftsman bungalows and Pueblos built between the 1920s and ‘40s feature up to five bedrooms and are priced from $300,000 to $515,000; these properties offer renovated interiors along with more spacious fenced-in lots. Streets here are laid out in a grid and connect to a handful of roundabouts throughout the area, and many residents either park in the street or under carports. Well-paved sidewalks covered in mature acacia trees lead to UArizona’s campus and nearby churches like Tucson Chinese Christian and First Southern Baptist Church.
