Pima Canyon is the pinnacle of Tucson foothills living. It exists in harmony with lush, scenic surroundings. It is the stage for a dramatic, continuing history and a special niche, blending man with nature. And its distinct design has ensured it an elite place among the Southwest’s most dynamic communities.

Pima Canyon in Tucson, Arizona is placed against the edges of Arizona’s Coronado National Forest and the southern range of the Santa Catalina Mountains in Tucson Arizona. To the north is over 255,000 acres of protected desert highlands. To the south, the city lights sparkle on the night horizon. And panoramic mountain landscapes roll out in every direction. From your window, you’ll marvel at the majestic saguaro silhouetted against the blaze of a dazzling Southern Arizona sunset.

Developed by Foothills Resort Properties, Pima Canyon in Tucson, Arizona is an exclusive gated community set at the mouth of one of Tucson’s most pristine canyons. Designed to protect the value and integrity of this unparalleled environment, this rare community offers 290 home sites on 450 acres to craft your one-of-a-kind home. From $250,000, every generous home site retains its advantaged angle to sweeping cityscapes and rugged foothill views. Rigorous architectural design guidelines ensure that every home blends with the environment and the community. As you’d expect, all utilities have been placed underground. Plus, the community walking trails connect to exclusive trailheads leading into the Santa Catalinas.

In short, the desert remains in its natural state. And that natural harmony is the defining quality of the distinct Pima Canyon setting. We look forward to sharing this privileged lifestyle with you.

Prime planting time–our spring is actually fall

Spring gardening fever infects us all, but in Tucson, fall is the best time to plant most plants. During fall the warm soil, still holding its heat from the summer sun, promotes rapid root growth. At the same time, air temperatures remain moderate— with no extreme cold or heat to stress new plants. By spring, plant roots respond to warming temperatures, producing healthy top growth. As spring turns into summer, root systems are much more established, giving plants the strength they need to tolerate summer heat. (Plants sensitive to frost, such as citrus, hibiscus, and bougainvillea, are exceptions to the fall-planting rule. You’ll generally have better results by waiting until late spring to plant these.)

Robust. Growing. Strong.
All describe the region’s economy. In Southern Arizona, the potential for economic progress is skyrocketing with a confluence of three variables: People, Place, and Promise.

People.
The continuing in-migration of people positively impacts the economy and translates directly into increased labor availability. Tucson is rapidly becoming a location of choice nationally, attracting major companies like Pella Corporation and La Costeña/Arizona Canning Co. LLC.

In late 2006 Pima County reached a major milestone when the population exceeded one million inhabitants. Achieving this milestone will enable Tucson to become a major player nationally, attracting major corporations, retailers, restaurants, arts, theater and a host of other services to the area.

Place.
The region’s strategic central Southwestern location serves as a manufacturing, transportation and distribution center for Mexico, California and the central/western United States. A mild, high desert environment and numerous outdoor activities creates one of the most balanced living/working environments in the country.

Promise.
With a diverse cross-section of prospering business from world-class travel and tourism to a resurging mining sector to a growing presence of “clean” manufacturing, the Tucson region is emerging as a major industrial center. High-tech and manufacturing are on the rise, along with aerospace, optics, biotech and other expanding fields.

The right combination of positive influences make the Tucson region a great place to work, live, play, and most importantly, prosper.  LEARN MORE ABOUT TREO>>
