Living in Tanque Verde

Ranch Country on Tucson's East Side

The Tanque Verde Valley sits on Tucson's far east side, between the Santa Catalina and Rincon mountains. It has a ranch feel, big mesquite trees, and some of the best riding close to town.

Most of it is unincorporated Pima County, so you get space and quiet with groceries and restaurants on Tanque Verde Road.

Homes in Tanque Verde

What You'll Find Here

You'll find horse properties with barns and arenas, ranch homes on acreage, custom homes with mountain views, and a few established neighborhoods.

Riders love it here for the open space and trail access toward the national forest. I help you find a setup that fits how you ride.

Before You Buy

What to Know About Buying in Tanque Verde

• Water and wells. Many homes are on private or shared wells. I check well depth, production, and shared well agreements.
• Zoning and animals. County zoning and deed restrictions set what you can keep and build. I confirm it with the county.
• Washes and flood zones. The Tanque Verde and Agua Caliente washes run through the area. I check flood maps and insurance early.
• Roads and access. Some properties sit on private or dirt roads, and some cross washes. I look at access in every season.
