Tucson Real Estate in Arizona
Tucson, located in southeast Arizona, is the second-largest city in the state (Phoenix being the largest). Tucson, (pronounced TOO sahn), has been continuously settled for over 12,000 years and has been home to the Hohokam Native Americans, Spanish missionaries, as well as ranchers and cowboys. As one of the oldest towns in the United States, Tucson celebrates a rich diversity of cultures, architecture, and peoples, and thus, Tucson real estate is a valuable commodity. Tucson is an ultra- modern city and is the heart of a booming high-technology region, a premier health service center for the Southwest, the astronomy center of the world, the home of a premier research institution - University of Arizona, and is a popular tourism destination.
Tucson's rich cultural heritage centers around a unique blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American influences. Blessed with the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert and an unsurpassed climate of 360 sunny days a year, Tucsonans embrace a rare lifestyle and are committed to preserving that quality of life. With a climate that varies from 2,400 foot basin to 9,100 foot forests of the Santa Catalina mountains, Tucson’s dry desert air and winter sunshine make it a popular health and winter resort. Dorn Homes has been contributing to the development of new Tucson homes to meet the need for more residential space in the Tucson area.
Today, “the Old Pueblo” supports 1,000,000 residents and continues to grow by nearly 2,000 a month. From the architecture to historic Western sights, Tucson is rooted in time but it is the area’s natural charms that give Tucson a kind of timelessness, which is perhaps the biggest attraction and one of the reasons Tucson real estate continues to be very hot property in the real estate market.
