Quiet city suburb close to popular shopping and dining

Located 7 miles east of downtown Tucson, the quiet suburb of Mitman offers convenience to city shopping, walking distance to churches and synagogues and a more active neighborhood association compared to years past. “It’s renewed itself,” says Jennifer Beard, neighborhood advisor for Mitman Neighborhood Association and resident of 27 years. “More young people have moved in, and they want a thriving neighborhood.” Through partnerships with the city, Beard says residents have installed speed bumps and traffic circles to reduce speeding, as well as more HAWK lights at mid-block crosswalks, to make it safer for bikers and pedestrians to cross car-heavy intersections. Along with attending annual meetings and hanging out at nearby parks, folks here enjoy strolling the wide asphalt streets, admiring the distant views of the Santa Catalina foothills.

Midcentury ranch homes spread throughout gridded streets

Brick midcentury ranch-style homes are scattered throughout the neighborhood and range between $200,000 and $400,000; these properties feature attached carports, dirt and gravel-landscaped lots and spacious backyards with stone gardens. Gathered near the eastern border, four-bedroom ranch-style houses built in the ‘60s are typically priced from $450,000 to $650,000 and include white and beige adobe exteriors fixed with tile house numbers, metal yard art and fenced-in yards with in-ground pools. Homes here sit side by side on gridded streets lined with mature palm trees and cacti that lead to nearby Tucson True Light Church on the north side and Congregation Chaverim on the east.

Community gardens at Highland Vista Park and shooting hoops at Harold Bell

Folks can plant and pick herbs at the community garden at the three-acre Highland Vista Park a mile south of the neighborhood, which also features a covered playground and multi-purpose field. Further east, Harold Bell Wright Park offers a basketball court and open space shaded by towering pine trees. Beard says residents trek 5 miles west to the popular 131-acre Reid Park for paved bike trails, pottery classes and open swim times at the Edith Ball Adaptive Recreation Center and a tee time at the 18-hole Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course adjacent to the park. In the southwestern pocket of the area, Reid Park Zoo offers North American, African and Asian animal exhibits, and locals interested in animal conservation can volunteer here.
