Commercial suburb in eastern Tucson
Nestled between East Pima Street and East Speedway Boulevard, Harlan Heights offers tranquil suburban living with immediate access to nearby greenery at Morris K. Udall Park, mountainous hiking at Saguaro National Park East and world-class health care at Tucson Medical Center. Harlan Heights locals are met with a mix of residential subdivisions offering an at-ease southern Arizona lifestyle neighboring a bustling commercial corridor at Park Place Mall. Downtown Tucson is only 7 miles away from the community, however, residents rarely have to leave the area due to the seemingly endless amount of amenities nearby and made accessible by East Pima Street. “Harlan Heights offers residents modern amenities while maintaining the charm of the older neighborhood — Also, highly-rated healthcare and Park Place Mall are within walking distance,” says Tony Ray Baker, Certified Tourism Ambassador for Tucson and Realtor with RE/MAX Professionals.

Harlan Heights boasts subdivisions with on-site RV parking in areas like Mountain View Acre Farms or others like Terra De Francisco without an HOA.
