Oracle Homes for Rent

Nestled at 4,500 feet in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, Oracle is a small community known for its rich history, outdoor recreation, and vibrant arts scene. Established in the late 19th century following the discovery of gold and silver, Oracle maintains a small-town charm with a commitment to preserving its dark skies, offering some of the best stargazing opportunities. The landscape transitions from forest to mountainous desert, providing a range of living options, including private homes on spacious plots and historic Pueblo-style ranch cabins. The area is safer than the national average, with low crime risk areas. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Oracle State Park, a 4,000-acre wildlife refuge with multi-use trails, or hike part of the Arizona Trail. For more adventurous activities, off-roading and zipline eco-tours are popular. Local dining includes Nonna Maria’s for Italian cuisine, Orehouse Hilltop Tavern for a lively atmosphere, and The Oracle Patio Café and Market for breakfast and lunch. The arts are well-represented with Rancho Linda Vista, Triangle L Art Ranch, and performances by the Oracle Piano Society at the Oracle Center for the Arts. Parents have access to Mountain Vista Elementary School and the highly rated Canyon Del Oro High School. Oracle is about 35 miles from Tucson, accessible via Arizona State Route 77.
