Amory Park is a charming, historic neighborhood
The historic Armory Park neighborhood was first popularized by its location close to the railroad in the 1880s. Now, it’s a hot spot for food, entertainment and art all within walking or biking distance to Downtown. “It’s always been a popular neighborhood," says Tony Ray Baker, a Re/Max Select Realtor who was born and raised in Tucson. “Because of the renaissance of the downtown area in the last 10 years, it’s gotten even crazier.” From preserving the stately Victorian-era homes to maintaining its namesake park, residents take pride in their neighborhood. “We have an active neighborhood association board that has collectively planted many trees along our streets making us one of the best tree shaded areas in the city,” says David Bachman-Williams, president of the Amory Park Neighborhood Association. “With the city government's help, we have added to and fixed many of our sidewalks.” The area is mostly residential, with a handful of museums, galleries and restaurants directly in the neighborhood. Armory Park’s CAP Index is 6 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4.
East Broadway Boulevard dining for every occasion
A section of East Broadway Boulevard borders the neighborhood to the north, with bars and breweries, like Pueblo Vida Brewing Company. With its cool industrial-style interior, Cartel Roasting Company caters to those looking for a quick cup of coffee or students needing a chill study spot. More than just a grocery store, Johnny Gibson’s Downtown Market also serves deli-style lunches. For more of a date night spot, Charro Steak and Del Rey is located in the historic Julian-Drew building. Down the street is Penca — a Mexican restaurant with a cozy outdoor patio — and a vintage clothing store called Vitnage. After dinner, residents can see a show at The Cabaret at the Arizona Theatre Company or view the art at Philabaum Glass Gallery.
Neighborhood celebrations, parties and parades
“We have social events every year culminating in a holiday party every December,” Bachman-Williams says. “We have an active listserv with which we keep each other informed of neighborhood issues and celebrations.” With a location less than a mile from Downtown Tucson, it’s just a short walk to annual events like the lively Fourth Avenue Street Fair and the Tucson Meet Yourself folklife festival. Every spring, the city hosts the TMC Meet Me Downtown 5K Night Run/Walk and Festival of Miles with a route through the streets and avenues of Armory Park.
Nineteenth century homes and gardens to tour
There’s no shortage of historic charm in Armory Park, with a range of Queen Anne, red-brick Victorians, Spanish Colonial Revival homes and quaint bungalows. Houses sit close together in neat grids. “Our neighborhood prides itself on the beautiful historic homes,” David Bachman-Williams says. “Many people have lovingly restored their century old homes.” Most homes were built in the in the early 1900s up to the late 1920s, some of which can be seen on the Armory Park Neighborhood Home and Garden Tour that happens every few years. Modern options, including ranch-style homes, were built as recently as 2023. Single-family prices range from $280,000 to S760,000, while condos go for between $500,000 to $838,500.
Armory Park's namesake green space
As the neighborhood's namesake, Armory Park itself anchors the Armory Park Center, which offers fun recreational activities and community resources for people of all ages. While the 4-acre park once housed an actual armory, it now is a peaceful spot to view war memorials. Santa Rita Park is nearby, with the Albert M. Gallego Skate Park, three baseball fields and a basketball court. There are a few options for staying active inside, like the Maracana Indoor Sports Arena and Premises Indoor BMX and Skate Park. Residents can also take a stroll through one of the neighborhood’s museums, including the popular Children’s Museum Tucson built in 1900.
Tucson Unified School District focusing on science and the arts
Most students go to school in the Santa Cruz region of the Tucson Unified School District. The Safford K-8 School was originally built in 1888 and offers programs such as Folklorico dancing. It scores a C-minus overall on Niche. Students can then graduate to Tucson Magnet High, which has a B rating. It is the district’s oldest high school and offers natural science and Fine and performing arts magnet programs.

A streetcar named Sun Link
“Many of us walk or bicycle to theater, symphony, Tucson Convention Center events and the many restaurants in the downtown area,” Bachman-Williams says. To get around the city, residents can hop on the Sun Link Streetcar or a Sun Tran bus. It’s a short trip west to the bustling Mercado District or the University of Arizona’s Tucson campus. At the Amtrak station downtown, the Texas Eagle and Sunset Limited trains connect the city to Texas and Los Angeles. Tucson International Airport is 8 miles away. “There a 134-mile loop called The Loop,” Baker says. “It goes all around our city and it allows you to jump on a bicycle or anything nonmotorized. There’s walkers, joggers, bicycles and horses. It’s all a paved loop has exits and entrances to the city areas.”
