A community decorated by cacti

Aptly named after the flower that sprouts from certain cacti, Saguaro Bloom is a planned suburban community outside Tucson where locals can especially admire the dessert flora every spring. “It’s a nice community the way it’s laid out and flows,” says Realtor Cody Lopez of Long Realty Company. “The HOA is accessibly priced.” Evenly-spaced homes built within the past decade take shape at the intersection of Quarry and Twin Peaks Road. Folks take advantage of their proximity to outdoor recreation at El Rio Preserve, while eateries and outlet shopping are just a short drive away.

Pueblo Revivals and bungalows

Along the winding streets of Saguaro Bloom sit one and two-story bungalows with architectural elements resembling the Pueblo style. Stucco or vinyl siding are standard, as are tiny windows and attached garages. Freshly paved concrete driveways and sidewalks make for easy, reliable parking and afternoon strolls. Houses are typically priced between $350,000 and $550,000, with the higher end fetching with it a pool or cobblestone patio area. “The floor plans are awesome, and so is the location,” says Lopez. One might notice the empty lots on the neighborhood’s northeast corner; brand-new houses will deliver in the coming years, growing the community.

A walk with wildlife at El Rio Preserve

Locals head to El Rio Preserve for a pleasant afternoon in the sun. The wild landscape is home to various creatures that roam the water’s edge. Walk along the Juan Bautista de Anza Historic Trail and read the signs that name the local flora and fauna. Those fortunate enough to spot a heron or roadrunner can take with them a photo as proof. If not, perhaps their tracks left in the dirt will suffice. As one might expect, cacti are everywhere, some blooming with colorful flowers that contrast their counterparts. Sunsets are especially gorgeous, accenting the rustic environment of tan earth and nearby mountains.

Food Truck Friday at the community center

Once a week, locals venture to the Saguaro Bloom Community Center to enjoy Food Truck Friday, which features a rotating list of grub vendors. After a quick bite, residents can hop into one of two community pools. They feature swimmer’s lap sections and fountains for kids to play in. Back on land, kids can use the awning-covered jungle gyms and all they offer. Staying fit is made easier by the basketball court onsite and the fitness center’s free weights and machines. Locals use the walking path at their own pace for a less strenuous workout.

Mexican cuisine and outlet shopping

An evening out of the house at La Olla Mexican Café means enchiladas, margaritas, and flan. The restaurant is just a short drive down Silverbell Road. For a more relaxed atmosphere, Home Plata Marana is a sports bar for the discerning fan. In addition to the typical happy hour Monday through Friday, they also offer seven batting cages. Sit, sip and watch friends take a swing from the safety and comfort of an outside table. Those who don’t overexert themselves can take a shopping break at the Tucson Premium Outlets. There’s no shortage of brands to peruse, be it Adidas, Coach, GAP or Sunglass Hut. A four-mile drive is worth it for the convenience of trying a new fit.

Traveling via SunTran

Folks in Saguaro Bloom can utilize the SunTran when it stops outside the community, but owning a vehicle here is far more practical. A short drive in the opposite direction reveals Marana Regional Airport, a small reliever airport serving Tucson. If something isn’t located in the neighborhood, it’s a quick drive away.
