Tucson's Historic Neighborhoods

Character You Can't Build New

Tucson has some of the most beautiful historic neighborhoods in the Southwest. From palm-lined estate streets to restored adobe row houses, these homes have stories and style you won't find in a new build.

Most sit in central Tucson, close to downtown, the university, and the city's best restaurants.

Historic Luxury Homes

What You'll Find Here

You'll see Spanish Colonial Revival and Pueblo Revival estates in El Encanto and Colonia Solana, Victorian and territorial homes in Armory Park and El Presidio, and thick-walled adobes in Barrio Viejo.

Many have been carefully restored, and some are ready for the right owner to bring them back. I help you understand what you're buying and what it will take.

Before You Buy

What to Know Before You Buy

• Historic zoning. Many of these neighborhoods have historic zoning with review for exterior changes. I find out what applies.
• Adobe and older construction. Adobe, old roofs, and original systems need specialists. I bring inspectors who know historic homes.
• Insurance. Older homes can be harder to insure. I help you get quotes early.
• Financing and appraisal. Jumbo loans and one-of-a-kind homes can make appraisals tricky. I connect you with lenders who do this every day and help you price it right.
