Adobe ranch-style homes under tall palms
Homebuyers looking in Highland Vista Cinco Via find palm trees towering over well-kept, 1950s-era adobe brick ranch-style homes with tidy desert landscaping. These one-story, three- to five-bedroom homes boast open designs and modern updates like energy-efficient windows, granite countertops and rooftop solar panels. Circular driveways and carports make the most of small lots, and front lawns are dotted with tall cacti and mesquite trees. The average listing price in the neighborhood is $360,000, and homes of less than 2,000 square feet are the norm. Three-bedroom fixer-uppers with 1,700 square feet can be listed for $180,000, while the market’s high-end features fully remodeled four-bedroom homes with 2,500 square feet, attached two-car garages and private in-ground pools. There is not a ton of privacy between homes here, with most sitting close together on quarter-acre lots.

Community growth and outdoor fun
Highland Vista Cinco Via benefits from an active neighborhood association. Maintained and operated by this all-volunteer group, the centrally located Highland Vista Pool is a popular summer hangout and home of the Highland Vista Aquatic Club competitive swim team. In addition to its Labor Day pool party, the association hosts barbecues, movie nights and other outdoor social events that unite residents and make the most of Tucson’s sunny weather. Adjacent to the pool, the three-acre, city-run Highland Vista Park is home to baseball fields and a playground. The park is also home to a community garden where neighborhood residents can rent seasonal plot space to grow and harvest their own produce.
