Set 4 miles east of Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma, residential Ocotillo (pronounced "aa-kuh-tee-low") is a calm slice of suburbia convenient to shopping, dining and Interstate 8. “It’s right by the freeway, so a lot of military families like to have access to family and work,” says Diana Arvizu, a local Realtor with Realty Executives Yuma who has over 5 years of experience. “And there’s no old homes here—everything’s relatively new,” Arvizu says. Ocotillo Park is the neighborhood go-to for sports or a morning stroll, and kids riding their bikes down sidewalk-lined streets are a common sight. Residents are within 4 miles of fast-food restaurants, local businesses and Walmart along East 32nd Street.
