Historic subdivision adjacent to the University of Arizona
As one of the earliest subdivisions in Tucson, the Sam Hughes neighborhood delights as a historic district with several charming homes that date back nearly a century. “The location of Sam Hughes, with its proximity to the University of Arizona, along with the beautiful architecture of this historic neighborhood, are the big draws,” says Kathleen Doyle, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty. Covering only one square mile of land, this neighborhood was designated a national historic district in 1994. Throughout the decades, the area has evolved from a sleepy collection of 1920s estates to a vibrant part of the city today, all just minutes from downtown. “Sam Hughes and the University are at the center of Tucson life – you can enjoy all the best the city offers within a very short commute,” Doyle says.
Sam Hughes is a famous Tucson neighborhood with architecture from the early 1900's.
