Rancho Sahuarita; a community with lots to offer!


Just helped a client purchase a new home down in Rancho Sahuarita and I thought I'd make a note about the community for those of you that aren't familiar with the area.

Rancho Sahuarita is a master planned community about 20 minutes South of Tucson off Interstate 19. Though Rancho Sahuarita consists of only about 3800 homes right now, the community should have about 11,000 when it's complete. Rancho Sahuarita is a popular choice with homebuyers for several reasons. Homes are generally less expensive then you'd find closer to Tucson, so you get more bang for your buck. Buyers can easily find a new construction, 4 bedroom/ 2 bath, 2000 sqft home priced in the high $100's or low $200's, so it's a really appealing area for growing families. Builders include Richmond American, Pulte, DR Horton and KB Homes. Most homes are two story and the yards are very small, but there's really no need for a big back yard with all the community amenities.

Rancho Sahuarita prides itself on the incredible number of amenities they offer in the community, hence their slogan "It's all in your backyard." This is one of the features that really attracts families and active adults. Besides the endless number of paved walking/running paths, there's an incredible fitness center with all the latest state of the art equipment, tennis and basketball courts, volleyball, and dance and aerobic studios. There are four pools located at the main clubhouse, including a lap pool and three "kiddie" pools with water slides and a water train. There's also several smaller neighborhood centers with pools scattered throughout the community. In the main clubhouse you'll find a sports bar with a billiard table and a big screen TV, which residents can reserve for private gatherings. One of the most popular features is the huge lake that's situated in the center of the community. The lake's a popular meeting place for neighbors and is used for fishing, sail boating and even a triathlon each Spring. There are a million other amenities that Rancho Sahuarita offers its residents; there's just too much to list so here's a link to the community's site.

Though Rancho Sahuarita is located a bit South of Tucson, it's still a great location for those working at several of Tucson's largest employers, including Raytheon, University of Arizona and Davis Monthan Air Force Base. Since it's right off I-19, most driving will be on the interstate so it makes for an easy commute. This area was once considered a little isolated from services like shopping, but there's been a lot of growth, and a new Fry's Marketplace recently opened. There's more growth planned, with a new urgent care center and other retail development in the works.
