"The middle of everywhere" right by the University of Arizona
Historic, eclectic and self-proclaimed as “the middle of everywhere,” Rincon Heights is deemed one of Tucson’s most architecturally diverse neighborhoods. It appeals to history buffs, students, artists and all others who desire what comes with living immediately south of the University of Arizona and 2 miles east of Downtown Tucson. “Rincon Heights is pretty centrally located. Tucson has a smaller, compact city center and then a sprawling residential area,” says Real Estate Agent John Sweeden with Habitation Realty, who is a lifelong resident of Tucson.
Most Rincon Heights homes are tucked together closely but have long driveways.
Rincon Heights students can easily walk to campus in mere minutes.

Five historic subdivisions and Spanish Revival housing
Rincon Heights encompasses five historic subdivisions with over 400 properties that contribute to its unique character, including single-family homes, duplexes and multi-family condo complexes. “The yards tend to be a good size. You’re not really stacked on each other like a cookie-cutter neighborhood, so it feels more organic,” Sweeden says. Late 19th- and 20th-century Spanish Revivals usually cost around $300,000 to $450,000 but can get up to $700,000 for a 2,000-square-foot property. There are also Pueblo-style bungalows and midcentury modern ranch-style homes that cost between $500,000 and $600,000.
Interesting Mid-Century Modern designs pop up all over Rincon Heights.
Each home in Rincon Heights is uniquely built and no two are alike.

There are also several options for public transportation, including bus stops and light rail stations.
