Located southeast of Tucson, the once-considered city outskirts of Rosemont West offers residents a mix of well-defined subdivisions and a rise in popularity and attraction from Tucson’s eastward expansion. Residents here often spend their time basking in the mountainous terrain and greenery at Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course or viewing animals at the local Reid Park Zoo and taking advantage of the nearby shopping at El Con Center and the quick 8-mile commute into downtown Tucson. Rosemont West offers a tranquil suburban lifestyle with an abundance of outdoor recreation, without having to sacrifice a bustling commerce corridor or the highly-rated schools within the district. “Rosemont West is incredibly walkable and ideal for dog walkers — The builders purposefully curved the roads and planted large trees in the 50s, which forces drivers to slow down and increases road safety,” says Tony Ray Baker, Certified Tourism Ambassador for Tucson and Realtor with RE/MAX Professionals.

Golf course views and Spanish Colonial Revivals
Rosemont West features a range of housing options from Spanish Colonial Revivals and brick ranch-styles to newly constructed contemporary stuccos. Rosemont West features a variety of subdivision options from gated communities like Williams Center to on-site RV Parking in Linden Park and Sambee Gardens Resub to golf course communities like Colonia Solana. With a median sales price of $305,000, price points here can range from the low $300,000s to upwards of seven figures depending on the age, size and location of the property. For example, a four-bedroom ranch-style with acreage for horses costs around $299,000, while a five-bedroom Spanish Colonial Revival with access to community RV parking can go for around $1,375,000. Homes neighboring Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course are subject to increased price points. Homes here often feature car-port garages and are typically fronted by mid-sized dirt or pebble yards where desert landscaping and cacti are common. “Rosemont West attracts first-time buyers and small investors interested in capitalizing on the affordable pricing and increased walkability within the area,” says Baker, who personally owns three properties off East Broadway and South Craycroft Road.
