The desert oasis of Tucson, Arizona real estate offers the perfect location to experience the lifestyle opportunities and modern living the southwest has to offer. With its virtually year-round mild weather, picturesque postcard scenery and abundance of cultural and outdoor activities, Tucson is a great place to call home. The beautiful Tucson landscape blends blossoming desert, rocky canyons, rising and falling hills, tree-topped peaks and meandering dry riverbeds.
Close to one million people now call the Tucson metropolitan area home and it is Arizona's second largest city. The city of Tucson sprawls over 500 square miles and is 2,389 feet above sea level. Perhaps the most significant element of living here is the pleasantly warm winters combined with the perpetually sunny environment. In fact, Tucson is graced with an amazing 3,800 hours of sunshine per year, totaling almost 50 percent sunshine throughout the year. Tucson's mild winters and low humidity are legendary, and it's not too hot during the summer to enjoy a wealth of outdoor activities. The average temperature is 82 degrees with about 11 inches of rain per year. Tucson is famous as a refuge for people that traditionally suffer from arthritis and many other physical ailments, all of which are lessened by Tucson's mild temperatures, clean air and dry desert climate.
Tucson's desert valley setting is unique due to the five mountain ranges surrounding the city. Sunrises in the east are spectacular as they peak over the Rincon Mountains, and sunsets are just as stunning as they disappear behind the western Tucson Mountains. The prominent Santa Catalina Mountains fill the northeast skyline, with the Santa Rita Mountains towering in the south and southeast, and the Tortolita Mountains ringing in the northwest skyline. Scenery in and out of Tucson is so varied that much of what it may remind you of Mexico or Canada.
