Centrally located historic neighborhood
Jefferson Park is an established residential area in proximity to the University of Arizona (UA), Banner-University Medical Center and Downtown Tucson. The neighborhood was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2012 because of its vintage homes, which are popular among both renters and owner-occupants. The natural desert landscape and artistic talent of Jefferson Park add a flair of personality to the area. “We have a strong, yet underground and independent art scene. Being so central, you get exposed to so many interesting murals, art displays and coffee shops,” says Real Estate Agent John Sweeden with Habitation Realty ERA Powered, who is a Tucson native. In fact, shops and restaurants are within walking distance on all sides of the neighborhood.
Walking in Jefferson Park is scenic at every turn, with vivid cactus and unique home styles.

Older homes with Southwest style
Jefferson Park’s wide streets are lined with mature trees and showcase a variety of home styles, architectural details and colors. Built in the late 1890s, adobe bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revivals dominated the landscape. Post-WWII Pueblos and ranch-style homes with carports then became the norm. Today, these older homes with Southwestern architecture range from 1,000 to 2,700 square feet and can cost $350,000 to $675,000. Additionally, sprawling ranch-style homes from the 1950s to 1970s go for $400,000 to $500,000.
The eclectic mix of homes in the neighborhood expresses individualism with decorated mailboxes, yard signs and metal sculptures. “You’ll find a lot of properties that are home to students. People tend to use this area for income because it’s close to the UA campus and is an easy student rental,” Sweeden says. Additionally, more homes are rented in Jefferson Park than they are owned.
