Suburban living with mountain views east of Tucson

Carriage Park is a Tucson suburb with mountain views and multiple options for shopping and recreation. “It’s just spectacular out here,” says Kenneth L. Bertschy, president of Carriage Park’s neighborhood association. “We are surrounded by mountains, and living on the east side is a very comfortable experience. I've been here for 40 years and haven’t had a problem.” According to Bertschy, homes in the neighborhood are well-cared for. Many residents work for the nearby Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and the local city government.

Carriage Park homes with diverse price points

Though house hunters could find condos and townhouses in the neighborhood, most residences are single-family ranch-style homes with brick siding and low-sloping or flat roof lines. Many have thoughtfully xeriscaped yards, carports, sidewalks and a backdrop of the mountains. Homes are situated on winding neighborhood streets planned to accommodate numerous cul-de-sacs. Prices range from around $200,000, which could get a two-bedroom condo, to the mid-$600,000s, which gets you a home built in the last five years with more square footage.
