Sam Hughes is the sought after, tree lined neighborhood east of the University of Arizona. Around 1918 the area became Tucson's very first residential neighborhood. Houses in an appealing combination of styles continued to be built up to about 1953. The eclectic mix of 1,226 contributing properties includes the popular mission revival, inspired by California churches, and pueblo revival, a reworking of Indian dwellings, as well as craftsman, international, and ranch style homes.

Within the neighborhodd is the Historic Sam Hughes Elementary, the 23 acre Himmel Park, a library, a public swimming pool, and retail stores, restaurants & cafes, especially on 6th Street which are in the heart of the Sam Hughes National Historic District.

Within walking distance to the University of Arizona campus, bus routes, shopping, entertainment and central Tucson, no wonder that the Sam Hughes neighborhood is such a great place to call home.
