Barrio Centro Homes for Rent

Barrio Centro in Tucson is characterized by its mid to late 20th-century ranch-style homes, many of which feature red brick exteriors and range from two to six bedrooms. These homes, typically set on lots between 7,000 and 14,000 square feet, are part of the Barrio Centro Neighborhood Association, which supports community upkeep and events through monthly HOA dues. The neighborhood is bordered by East 22nd Street, a hub for shopping and dining, including Food City, Domino’s, and local favorites like Mariscos Chihuahua. At the southern end of the neighborhood, the Wooden Nickel Tavern has been a staple for over 40 years, offering comfort food and happy hour specials. Recreational opportunities abound with the 2-acre Bristol Park offering a playground and basketball court, while the expansive 130-acre Reid Park nearby includes jogging paths, a zoo, and golf courses. The Aviation Bikeway along the southern border connects to The Loop, a 130-mile shared-use path. Barrio Centro is pedestrian-friendly with bike lanes and fare-free Sun Tran bus stops, and it is conveniently located 3 miles from downtown Tucson and Interstate 10, with Tucson International Airport 8 miles away. Schools in the Tucson Unified School District are highly rated, with options offering STEM programs and career and technical education courses.
