Casa De Carlos Homes for Sale

Casa De Carlos, located eight miles east of downtown Tucson, is a neighborhood near the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains. This area features Southwestern-style homes and provides easy access to the Pantano River Park Trail, part of the extensive 130-plus-mile Chuck Huckelberry Loop. The trail is popular for walking, cycling and horseback riding. Fort Lowell Park, a historic site listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is also within the neighborhood. The park includes the Fort Lowell Museum, showcasing exhibits from the late 1800s, and offers recreational facilities such as ball fields, tennis courts and an outdoor swimming pool.

The neighborhood is divided into two sections of homes. The west side includes midcentury modern houses from the 1950s, typically three to four bedrooms, with xeriscape lots and private backyards. Some of these homes feature in-ground pools or patios. The east side consists of single-story townhouses with carports, managed by homeowners associations. Additionally, there are two-story Mediterranean-style houses with red-tiled roofs and stucco siding, built in the early 2000s, featuring attached garages and shared sidewalks.

Casa De Carlos residents have convenient access to stores and restaurants along East Grant Road, including Costco Wholesale, Target and Albertsons. The neighborhood is known for its Mexican dining options, such as Paco’s for breakfast burritos, Amelia’s for a variety of Mexican dishes and The Quesadillas for its namesake specialty. The area is safer than the national average. While there are no major highways within Casa De Carlos, residents can use the Sun Tran bus or drive to reach Downtown Tucson and access Interstates 10 and 19.
