Near the best of the valley
The mid-century housing boom turned farmland into Flowing Wells, a suburb just outside of Tucson with everyday conveniences close to home. “Population makes Tucson a city,” says Patti Scanlon, a Tucson native and Realty Executives Agent who has been selling in the area since 1992. “But our attitude makes us a town.” While the nearby schools give the area a sense of community, residents can still hop on the highway in no time to explore all the best of the valley and beyond. Other perks of the neighborhood include homes at multiple price points and plenty of parks for every outdoor occasion.
Flowing Wells neighborhood is conveniently located near the I-10 freeway.
Birding & wildlife viewing are popular activities at Sweetwater Wetlands.

Homes of all styles and prices
As a larger neighborhood, Flowing Wells has a patchwork of housing developments. “A lot of the housing was developed in the 1950s and earlier,” Scanlon says. “There’s not a lot of new construction, it’s pretty established.” There are mobile homes and trailer-style homes in the western point of the neighborhood, while other areas of Flowing Wells include two-story homes in subdivisions with community swimming pools. At the higher end of the price range, a newly built or remodeled 3- or 4-bedroom home will go for $300,000 to $400,000. A manufactured home will start at $25,000 and go as high as $300,000. Residential streets tend to lack sidewalks, but many homes have fenced-in front yards with cacti or palm trees.

Self guided wildlife tours to an expert jump track
Whether the activity is little league baseball, grilling for a picnic or taking the dog for a walk, Flowing Wells has a park nearby. Golfers head to the Silverbell Golf Course while disc golfers visit Rillito Regional Park. At Silverbell Lake, there’s fishing, “well, fishing on a desert scale,” Scanlon says. She adds that she's been kayaking there, but “It doesn’t take very many strokes to get across the lake.” Residents can play tennis, baseball or jog the bowtie-shaped loop at Flowing Wells District Park. Next to the park is the Kory Laos Memorial BMX Park. For birding and wildlife viewing, there are trails winding through the 60 acres at Sweetwater Wetlands Park on the other side of the freeway.

The flowing wells area is a great place for lower to middle income families. I have lived in this area for quite awhile. I have raised my son here and not had to worry about the crime level. People keep to themselves and don't bother those that they do not know.
