Poets Square Homes for Sale

Poets Square, located 5 miles east of downtown Tucson, is a small, community-focused neighborhood that gets its name from the streets named for famous writers like Poe and Whitman. The volunteer-led neighborhood association has planted over 80 trees and created rain gardens. Mid-20th-century ranch-style homes and bungalows are typical, and larger Spanish-inspired ranch-style homes are on the western border. Residents enjoy the proximity to the Broadway Village Shopping Center, located 3 miles west, which features small businesses and restaurants in Spanish Mission Revival-style buildings. Rocco’s Little Chicago offers deep-dish pizza nearby, and the Hungry Fox Restaurant is known for its jumbo cinnamon rolls. Park Place Mall is 2 miles away. Community events include an annual harvest block party, where people share homemade food, and the biannual Fourth Avenue Street Fair. Nearby, Hoffman and Linden parks offer playgrounds and scenic views of the Catalina Foothills. The larger Reid Park, 2 miles south, has bike trails, a zoo and a public golf course. Public transportation options include Tucson’s Sun Tran and Sun Express buses. The neighborhood experiences relatively little traffic, and many people opt to ride their bikes rather than drive or take the bus.
