History Of Single-Family Homes In Tucson

Single-family homes have been built around Tucson since the mid-1800s. Prior to that, most homes in Tucson were of Spanish origin which favored row houses with shared courtyards, walls, and public areas. These can be quite similar to townhouses you would see today. American settlers and Arizona pioneers tended to favor the English style of home, which is a typically a square parcel of land with an individual house on it. The homeowners (or landlord) owns everything on the parcel with nothing being shared.

Neighborhoods like Armory Park, Ironhorse, and West University were some of the original single-family neighborhoods to be developed in Tucson. Eventually, Tucson's original downtown neighborhood, El Presidio, also converted to some single-family homes as the older row houses started to deteriorate.

Today, the Tucson area is one of the most amazing places to live due to our sunny climate, natural high desert surroundings, and friendliness of the locals. What once was a small outpost of the Spanish Empire has become one of the fastest growing metro areas in the United States for the last 50 years. We expect this growth to continue due to Tucson's high affordability and excellent quality of life.

Characteristics Of Tucson Single-Family Homes

Tucson's single-family homes vary from other parts of the US due to the weather and historic styles prevalent here.

Stucco

StuccoStucco is the most common exterior construction material used these days in Tucson single-family homes. Other exteriors are also found depending on the era when built. Those materials include brick exteriors (Ranch Homes), slump block (Territorial Homes), and adobe.

 

No Basements

No BasementAs a rule, Tucson single-family homes do not have a basement, primarily because it is far less expensive to build a second story on a home than dig out and secure a basement.

 

Less Maintenance

Less MaintenanceTucson single-family homes usually require less maintenance than houses in other areas of the United States. Our climate allows for homes to be simpler, and that simplicity means there are fewer things to go wrong.

 

Gravel Front Yards

No Grass Front YardIn Tucson, we almost always have rock or gravel front yards. Gravel requires less maintenance and water, and is less expensive to install. There are some Tucson neighborhoods that have grassy grounds such as EL Encanto and Winterhaven. The lack of grass is shocking to most people used to Phoenix or Las Vegas.

 

Wrought Iron Work

Wrought IronIn Tucson, many homes have decorative wrought iron work on doors, windows, patios, and front entrances—especially homes built in a Spanish or Mediterranean style constructed during the late 1970s to 1990s. Today's new Contemporary homes do not seem to favor wrought iron, but large portions of the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, and the east side of Tucson have an abundance of it.
