Accessible living in the Garden District
Known as the Garden District among locals, Midtown Tucson offers a pop of green in the city’s sprawling Arizona desert landscape. “It’s close and convenient to everywhere in the city,” says Rich Sainz, third-generation Tucsonan and Realtor with NextHome Complete Realty. “It’s also smack dab in the middle of amenities – theaters, restaurants, grocery stores and the Tucson Botanical Gardens.” East Grant Road borders the Midtown community to the north, and East Speedway Boulevard, which is a main thoroughfare for Tucson commuters, runs along the southern portion. Yards nearest the gardens are thoughtfully xeriscaped with lush, desert-hardy trees like palo verdes and mesquites. In contrast, others in the neighborhood have more minimal plantings in an effort to conserve water. Most houses are block-constructed ranch homes with stucco finishes from the mid-to late-1900s, designed with thick walls to protect from the sun.
Midtown Tucson homes are shaded by native, desert-hardy plants.

Nightlife and entertainment venues along East Speedway Boulevard
With busy East Grant Road and East Speedway Boulevards bookending the neighborhood to the north and south, there are plenty of local and chain restaurants in either direction. Some options are Tito & Pep, known for its elevated Southwestern fare, and Cupbop, a Korean eatery. Nearby grocery stores include Trader Joe’s and Sprouts Farmers Market, and Park Place Mall is less than 4 miles away. There are also two movie theaters in the area. The Loft Cinema, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, screens second-run films and cult classics like “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and RoadHouse Cinemas, a dine-in movie theater with reclining seats, features new releases. For nightlife, locals can grab martinis from The Shelter Cocktail Lounge, a former fallout shelter converted into a 1960s-themed cocktail bar or select from craft beers at the Firetruck Brewing Company.
Midtown Tucson is famous for its vintage-themed bar, The Shelter Cocktail Lounge.

Custom midcentury builds in the Garden District
The majority of homes in Midtown Tucson are single-story ranch-styles, Pueblo Revivals or Mediterranean-inspired houses, built between 1950 and 1970. “It isn’t a cookie-cutter developed neighborhood,” Sainz says. “Houses are mostly sturdy, individually constructed, single-family places.” For a one-bedroom stucco-sided ranch-style residence, buyers may find options under $200,000. Median home prices fall closer to $300,000, and for this price, a remodeled three-bedroom ranch-style house might be an option. At the high end of listings are properties with more than 2,000 square feet of living space; these are valued at around $400,000.
Midtown Tucson homes feature midcentury modern architecture that feels pleasant and timeless.
Many Midtown Tucson homes were built in the 1950s.

Local and city-wide festivals for Garden District residents
The Garden District Neighborhood Association organizes gatherings and community initiatives; a popular one is Porch Fest, an annual festival with live music and food. Children can visit the Martha Cooper Library on North Catalina Avenue for weekly story times. Tucson-wide happenings include Tucson Meet Yourself, a celebration of Tucson’s multiculturalism, the Mariachi Festival and the Fourth Avenue Winter Street Fair. There is also a Gem and Mineral Show that takes place in February each year. The show brings in lapidary enthusiasts and collectors from around the globe; hotels around Tucson may be booked solid during this time and locals will notice an increase in traffic.
Enjoy succulents and seasonal blooms at Tucson Botanical Gardens
Community members can stroll the 5.5-acre Tucson Botanical Gardens, which includes a cactus and succulent garden, a shade garden and a children’s garden. Yume Japanese Gardens of Tucson, directly south of it, has a koi pond and an art gallery in addition to Japanese-style gardens. Nearby city parks such as Pinecrest Park and Swan Way Park offer picnic areas, fields for exercising and playground structures. Gene C. Reid Park and Randolph Park, about 3.5 miles from Midtown, are the most popular areas for outdoor recreation in Tucson. The adjoining parks have amenities including baseball fields, two 18-hole golf courses and a small zoo that is home to zebras and flamingos.
Local schools take field trips to the Tucson Botanical Gardens.

Along East Pima Street and East Grant Road, there are more bus stops, and bus routes usually run from about 6 a.m. to midnight during the week. Tucson International Airport is approximately 10 miles south; it offers nonstop service to 20 destinations.

Environmental considerations
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has determined that Tucson is at a relatively high risk of droughts, wildfires, heat waves and riverine flooding. May through July are typically the hottest and driest months, and the monsoon season usually begins in July, bringing down the risk of droughts and wildfires but increasing the probability of flash flooding.
Area wildlife is well adapted to Tucson's climate.
