Those who live in the area can enjoy a comfortable and spacious home while still having great access to city amenities and incredible desert views. “We’re in the basin of a valley, so we’re literally surrounded by mountains. Everywhere you turn, there’s a mountain view pressing the skyline,” says Real Estate Agent John Sweeden with Habitation Realty ERA Powered, who is a Tucson native.
