There are countless reasons that homes, land and real estate all across the city of Tucson, including the outlying foothills, are so highly sought after by many people of all ages. Along with outstanding value in
Tucson real estate, there is plenty to see and do. What do we mean?
Well, in addition to great schools, a wealth of cultural opportunities, gorgeous golf courses, year-round perfect weather and more, there are also a number of fabulous wineries all within a pleasant day-trip of Tucson, Marana, the Oro Valley and the Catalina Foothills. Specifically, experts say the climate and soil conditions in the southern Arizona towns of Elgin, Sonoita and the Willcox area are ideal for growing grapes thanks to high elevations, warm days and cool nights. Once you?ve purchased a home or real estate in the area, why not see for yourself?
