Menlo Park Homes for Rent

Menlo Park in Tucson is a historic neighborhood known as the birthplace of the city, with artifacts dating back 4,000 years. Nestled at the base of Sentinel Peak, the area features small bungalows with Italian, Greek, and American architectural influences, alongside occasional new builds and high-rent apartments like the Monier Apartments. The Mercado San Agustin Public Market, opened in 2010, serves as a community hub with its Old World market square feel, offering diverse retail and dining options, including the popular La Estrella Bakery. Nearby, the MSA Annex, established in 2018, features shops and eateries housed in upcycled shipping containers, with Kukai Fresh Japanese Kitchen being a local favorite. Menlo Park is part of Tucson’s rich culinary scene, contributing to the city’s designation as UNESCO’s first City of Gastronomy in the U.S. Mission Gardens provides heirloom crops to local restaurants, enhancing the farm-to-table dining experience. The MSA Annex Festival Grounds host numerous events, including the country’s second-largest Dia de Los Muertos Festival. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy The Loop, a 131-mile system of paved trails, and the Sun Link streetcar, which connects Menlo Park to Downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona. The neighborhood is served by various public and charter schools within the Tucson Unified School District, with options for private education accessible via the streetcar.
