Master-planned community near well-known Tucson sites
Founded in 1981, Midvale Park is a South Tucson master-planned community with easy access to shopping and dining, and nearly 3,000 single-family homes that are "priced for a first-time homebuyer,” says Chaz Elsten, Realtor for AZ Flat Fee and Tucson native. “Here you’re 10 minutes from downtown and the University of Arizona," continues Elsten, "and maybe an hour from the Mexican border.” Home to plenty of Mexican-focused eateries, as well as community parks and multi-purpose trails, Midvale Park is within a few miles of area mountain peaks and the San Xavier Mission Catholic Church, a late 18th-century historic landmark.
Developed in 1982, Midvale Park is home to a large subdivision of homes near parks and shopping.

Popping wheelies at Grijalva Park
Folks in Midvale Park can walk to the 3-acre Grijalva Park for a match of sand volleyball, some swinging on the monkey bars or a tour of the obstacle course in the Christina-Taylor Green Skate Park. The 137-mile-long Chuck Huckelberry Loop—also known as “The Loop”—travels through the eastern side near the Santa Cruz River wash and features a paved trail for walking, jogging and biking. For a great view of Tucson, locals can head about 8 miles south and hike the indigenous rock-layered Sentinel Peak—also known as “A” Mountain—whose archaeological history dates back nearly 4,000 years. Located 4 miles south on the Tohono O’odham Nation reservation, the iconic San Xavier Mission Catholic Church, constructed in 1797, offers mass on the weekends and self-guided tours in its intricately painted clay Spanish cathedral. Many times, local vendors can be seen outside the church selling warm Indian Frybread.
