Samos Home for Sale

Samos, a neighborhood in Tucson, is situated just north of the University of Arizona. Its prime location offers easy access to Campbell Avenue and the foothills of the Catalina Mountains. Homes come in a variety of architectural styles, including bungalows, Mediterranean Revivals and ranch-style houses; many have brick, adobe and stucco exteriors. Homes typically range from 1,000 to 1,600 square feet, with some larger properties up to 2,000 square feet. While the neighborhood is part of the Tucson Unified School District, many students attend the private, highly rated Salpointe Catholic High School. Residents have many options for shopping and dining, from the stores at Campbell Plaza to Campbell Avenue’s Restaurant Row. La Encantada is an outdoor mall with more options, about 6 miles north. There are over 130 parks in Tucson, and some of the closest ones include Conner Park and Mitchell Park. Locals can also visit the mountains for hiking trails that go through canyons and ridges. Other nearby amenities include resorts and La Paloma Country Club, which has a 27-hole course. Residents also attend city events like the Agave Heritage Festival and the Tucson Rodeo Parade. The neighborhood is well-connected with wide, walkable streets, bike-share stations and various public transit options. However, the eastern edge of Samos experiences some noise and commuter traffic due to its proximity to Campbell Avenue.
