Poets Square Homes for Rent

Poets Square, located 5 miles east of downtown Tucson, is a small, community-focused neighborhood known for its volunteer spirit and WWII-era homes. The streets are named after famous writers like Poe and Whitman, and the neighborhood association, led by volunteers, has planted over 80 trees and created rain gardens. The area features midcentury ranch-style homes and bungalows, with larger Spanish-inspired ranch-style homes on the western border. Residents enjoy proximity to local shopping and parks, including the Broadway Village Shopping Center, which is 3 miles west and features small businesses and restaurants in Spanish Mission Revival buildings. For dining, Rocco’s Little Chicago offers deep dish pizza, and the Hungry Fox Restaurant is known for its jumbo cinnamon rolls. Community events include an annual harvest block party and the biannual Fourth Avenue Street Fair. Nearby parks like Hoffman and Linden provide playgrounds and scenic views of the Catalina Foothills, while the larger Reid Park, 2 miles south, offers bike trails, a zoo, and a golf course. Transportation options include Tucson’s Sun Tran and Sun Express buses, with bike-friendly routes to the University of Arizona. The neighborhood is served by the Tucson Unified School District.
