Suburban homes and city amenities
Located just below Downtown Tucson, South Park is a sprawling residential neighborhood that also has numerous shopping centers, restaurants and outdoor areas for its residents. Those who live in the area can enjoy a comfortable and spacious home while still having great access to city amenities and incredible desert views. “We’re in the basin of a valley, so we’re literally surrounded by mountains. Everywhere you turn, there’s a mountain view pressing the skyline,” says Real Estate Agent John Sweeden with Habitation Realty ERA Powered, who is a Tucson native.
Midcentury homes, bungalows and duplexes
Prospective homebuyers can choose between a blend of midcentury homes in South Park, often with three or more bedrooms and renovated, like-new interiors and newer builds. These midcentury modern homes can cost anywhere between $250,000 and $675,000, depending on square footage. Smaller bungalows with Santa Fe architecture can also be found in the neighborhood for $350,000 to $550,000.

Traveling south of Tucson
South Park may be expansive, but its pedestrian-friendly attitude and public transportation facilities make it easy for people to get around. “Near the downtown area, it tends to be very walkable and bikeable,” Sweeden says. Additionally, Sun Tran bus stops are available in several locations throughout the area. Interstate 10 sits along the western and southern border of the neighborhood for those who need to travel outside South Tucson, making for an easy commute. In a medical emergency, the Tucson VA Medical Center is located in the Veteran’s Hospital directly south of South Park.
