University of Arizona’s northern neighbor
North University places residents within blocks of the University of Arizona’s campus. University facilities take up more than half the neighborhood, followed by apartments and Banner healthcare facilities. Throughout this college town, locals enjoy walkable streets and proximity to cultural events and entertainment offerings at the Arizona State Museum, Tornabene Theatre and Invisible Theatre. A mile south, Main Gate Square offers an array of dining options that span from fast food chains to local coffee shops. With this convenience, traffic and noise are factors, as many streets around campus are busy, and many homes are in the shadows of sprawling apartment buildings.
