Climb up to Western Hills and enjoy convenient access to all the nearby amenities Tucson has to offer.
You’ll find brick and stucco ranch-style homes along with Pueblo-inspired homes that range in price from $83,000 to $360,000 depending on the size and age of the home. Most homes fall between 800 and 3,000 square feet in size and were built in the 1950s, 1970s and as recently as 2023. Lot sizes are typically about 3,000 to 9,000 square feet and are decorated with sturdy trees, shrubs and cacti strong enough to withstand the Arizona sunshine. Carports are a common amenity as well as covered back patios. Many properties are fenced in for added privacy and some homes have brightly painted exteriors that add a pop of color to the streets.
Students in Western Hills can attend Lillian Cavett Elementary School, an Innovation Zone school that’s part of a Tucson Unified program that partners with universities to more intensively train teachers. Utterback Middle School is another option that offers nine different electives for students to choose from that range from dance to Lego tech to the AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program, which is designed to increase college graduation rates and help develop career skills. Catalina High is a magnet school named after the Santa Catalina Mountains that features a robust sports program.
Work up a sweat at Willie Blake Community Park where cardio equipment and soccer fields are the perfect place to get a good workout in, either solo or in a pickup game with friends. Walkers, joggers and cyclists will love the easy access to the Santa Cruz walk/bike path. The El Paso and Southwestern Greenway is another nearby option for walkers and bikers, and although somewhat short, the trail will continue to grow and link up with the former El Paso & Southwestern Railroad corridor in an effort to connect downtown Tucson with South Tucson via a 6-mile route.
Grab a cup of joe from Dutch Bro’s Coffee, where they’ve got everything from iced green tea and cold brews to energy drinks and chocolate crunch freeze. Start your day at First Watch, where their unique breakfast creations are sure to keep you coming back. Choose from dishes like cinnamon spice churros, pumpkin pancake breakfast and harvest hash, washed down with a glass of pomegranate pear punch. Satisfy your carnivorous cravings at Rudy’s Country Store and Bar-BQ, where there’s plenty of brisket and ribs to go around. Residents can fulfill all of their grocery needs at the nearby Costco and Walmart.
The Kino Sports Complex is one of the top amenities near this neighborhood and the largest sports venue in Southern Arizona. Hosting everything from sports tournaments to business events, the complex is also home to the FC Tucson Soccer Club. Don’t miss the Desert Diamond Cup tournament or the annual Gem and Mineral show. Plenty of youth and amateur sports leagues use the facility as well.
With easy access to Interstate 10, it’s just a quick drive 3 miles northwest to Downtown Tucson and 5 miles south to the Tucson International Airport.

GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
