Las Casitas
Neighborhood in Yuma, Arizona
Yuma CountyRanch-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.

Coffee, steaks and drinks around Avenue B
A mix of shops and local and chain eateries exist along South Avenue B. Morning commuters can stop at Kneaders Bakery & Cafe for coffee and a large selection of sugary snacks. Kneaders is a regional chain with locations in Texas and a handful of Western states. Nearby Julieanna’s Steakhouse offers a fine dining establishment. Art adorns the steakhouse’s interiors, while its patio frequently hosts live music. Patrons outside can also relax around a firepit as they mingle and enjoy their wines. The Brewers Restaurant & Sports Bar keeps its main location in this area. Chain stores here include Walmart and Albertsons.

Within walking distance of Las Casitas’ neighborhood parks

A similar green space — but without a playground — exists a few blocks north. The neighborhood is also about a couple miles from the scenic fairways of the 18-hole Desert Hills Golf Course. Players there will also find amenities to work on their chips, putts and drives.
