Central living near nature and Tucson
To the west of Interstate 10 is Ward 1, a slice of Tucson suburbia running nearly parallel to the Santa Cruz River. Convenience and proximity to other areas is a driving factor for home buyers. “It’s close to the Tumamoc Hill Mountain, the University of Arizona, and Downtown,” says Associate Broker Krista Wissinger of OMNI Homes International. Comprised of several planned, smaller communities, Ward 1 is a calm and familiar atmosphere with the perks of both rural and city living.
Pueblo-inspired ranch homes and Foursquares
Houses in Ward 1 are spread across a relatively long stretch of land. Foursquares and ranch homes are the most common styles, featuring Pueblo-like entryways and wall accents. Sandy, beige exteriors give a muted aesthetic but complement the surrounding desert area. Nearly all houses in this area have uniform lot sizes and spacing, with paved driveways and modest yards filled with gravel and a tree or two. The typical price range is $300,000 to $800,000, with the higher end bringing buyers a less obstructed view of the mountains atop a higher elevation.

Wildlife walks at Sweetwater Wetlands Park
Locals head to the Sweetwater Wetlands Park to explore the water’s edge and observe the wildlife. Although its primary function is a water treatment plant, the landscape looks like a screensaver dropped into an unassuming suburb. Stroll along the paved walking paths or escape the sun on one of the park benches. Those who make this park their afternoon adventure are bound to see turtles, wild boars or even lynxes. Watch as the water’s clear surface reflects the trees and clouds above it, broken by the occasional duck diving down. Visitors will be charmed with views of various fowl circling overhead and roosting in the thin tree line.
There's plenty of outdoor activities, bike paths, and walking trails in Ward 1, a Tucson suburb.

STEM and IB programs in Tucson schools
Kids in Ward 1 attend Tolson Elementary, which Niche rates a C-plus overall. Their 16-to-1 student-teacher ratio is slightly better than the national average. When they reach Mansfield Middle, also rated C-plus, kids benefit from STEM practices implemented across all coursework for better critical thinking. Cholla High has a graduation rate of 92% and earns a B-minus overall from Niche. Their International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme allows students to earn up to 36 college credits before graduation.
Markets and shows a quick drive away
Dozens of events fill Tucson’s calendar, all within reach just a short drive down the freeway. There’s truly something for all ages, be it holiday-themed parades and light shows or artisan markets and yard sales with local sellers. The Fox Tucson Theatre hosts a variety of independent musical acts and ballet troupes as they come through the city.
Taking the SunTran around town
Residents can use the purple and pink SunTran lines to get around, but owning a vehicle in this neighborhood is far better. The public transit runs primarily through central Tucson, so those using it must walk or bike to reach the bus stops.

Community funds that make voices heard
In early 2023, Ward 1 underwent a participatory budgeting process. This allowed residents and loved ones of residents to vote on the spending of discretionary funds in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Democratic spending is less common than one might think, with only 7,000 or so cities worldwide utilizing it. The theory is to foster a more robust, tightly-knit community where voices are genuinely heard.
