Entrance to Yuma and exit from the noise
For those traveling from the border, Las Casitas will be among the first neighborhoods they’ll pass upon entering Yuma. The aptly named community lies just beyond a busy intersection marked by a “Welcome to Yuma” sign made of rocks and a metal frame shaped like mountain peaks. Many in this small but dense suburban neighborhood live within comfortable walking distance of a couple of peaceful tree-lined parks. Locals also say the area reflects all of Yuma’s perks. “I can relate to some of the customers that always come in from out of the state. They come to live here in Yuma because they’re just tired of the noise, tired of the freeway, being bumper to bumper. They want to have more of a peaceful, quiet retirement,” says Frank Navarro, the owner of Frank’s Tire Shop.
Ranch-style builds and a few modern Spanish-style homes
Numerous ranch-style homes with stucco exteriors line the neighborhood’s streets. Many homes are designed with cross-gabled roofs, while others have solar panels that allow residents to take advantage of Yuma’s numerous sunny days. Many homes here date back to the early 2000s, but prospective buyers will also find newer options exuding Spanish designs. Depending on size, single-family homes can go from about $200,000 to nearly $350,000. However, Las Casitas does enjoy a slightly lower median price than the rest of the city. “It’s a good area for people, especially those looking for the affordability. That’s the bottom line,” says Ruben Fontanes, owner of the Fontaines Real Estate Group.
In Las Casitas, you'll find a mix of timeless ranch homes and newer Spanish-style residences with broad curb appeal.
In Las Casitas, residents enjoy a quiet, established neighborhood with a variety of home styles that suit modern living.
