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.

University apartments and bricked Bungalows
Available single-family homes are rare in North University, with much of the area comprised of university apartments. The stand-alone homes that decorate these sidewalks feature fenced, square back lots with room for a patio set or private garden. Brick and stucco exteriors decorate the facades of Bungalow and Pueblo Revival homes. North University homes price between $262,000 for early 1900s two- to three-bedroom homes and $930,000 for a nine-bedroom home built in the last ten years. “The average residential real estate price in Tucson as of December 2023 was $452,728,” says Associate Broker James Servoss, with Keller Williams Southern Arizona, who holds more than 21 years of experience working in Tucson real estate.

Walking through Main Gate Square
Within Main Gate Square, locals appreciate a wide selection of dining options, from breakfast pastries and sweet treats at Woops to hearty burritos from Illegal Pete’s.
