Tucked just steps from a quiet neighborhood park right out back, this home is a a standout retreat in every way. Come see this beauty before it's gone
Central Tucson, located between Downtown Tucson and the University of Arizona, is a historic and artsy Tucson neighborhood with adobe-era streetscapes and mid-century corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Fourth Avenue near East University Boulevard, where record shops, indie boutiques, coffee counters, and patio bars keep the sidewalks active. Architectural texture ranges from early 20th-century bungalows to brick courtyard apartments and streamlined ranch homes. Tucson Museum of Art anchors gallery-going and lectures, while The Rialto Theatre sets the tempo for live music nights. Himmel Park and the Tucson Botanical Gardens add shaded paths and desert plant collections. Sun Tran routes and bike lanes stitch together campuses, markets, and museums.
