Midcentury brick ranch homes
The heart of Sewell is the gridded residential streets off Chantilly Drive and Lenora Avenue. Homes here are low-slung brick ranchers, usually dating back to the mid-1900s. There are wide driveways and backyard pools, and although most streets don’t have sidewalks, the roads are quiet enough to be easily walkable. Prices here range from $300,000 to $500,000, depending on the recency of renovations. There are a few luxury properties on the other side of the elementary school. Some are located along the nationally registered historic Indian House Road, which contains Pueblo homes built in the 1920s; others are modern homes built in the 2000s. These properties are often gated and go for price points from $600,000 to $2 million.

Nearby medical suite
St. Joseph’s Hospital and the surrounding suite of medical facilities is the largest medical center in Tucson, as it sits just east of the Sewell neighborhood. Locals are just a walk away from work or appointments, but bordering the hospital does mean there will be some accompanying noise from hospital vehicles. The traffic brought by the mall also brings noise and can be an annoyance for those just looking to turn onto their residential street.
St. Josephs Hospital is a level 1 trauma center and serves the needs of the Sewell community.
Broadway Boulevard, in Sewell, is the heart of retail, dining and entertainment.
