Small South Tucson community with active neighborhood association
The small, Southside Tucson area of Pueblo Gardens is filled with caring, hardworking residents and a neighborhood association that wants to better the area. “Everybody is very busy with their jobs and taking care of their kids—they’re too proud to ask for help,” says Bernice Vanover, president of the Pueblo Gardens Neighborhood Association. She says it can be hard to get folks involved in proposing projects and upgrades to the area, but she’s trying to change that. For instance, in 2023, the community came together along with the non-profit, Living Streets Alliance, to add a crosswalk, curb extension and a painted mural outside Pueblo Gardens PreK-8. Along with attending annual breakfast events at the nearby Boys and Girls Club, locals enjoy visiting neighborhood parks and grabbing a bite at Mexican eateries a short distance away.
Residents will find a long mural near Pueblo Gardens K-8 school.
Run mostly in a grid system, Pueblo Gardens is easy to get around for cars, bikes and walkers.

Connecting on Arizona State Route 210
Downtown Tucson is a nearly 3-mile drive northwest via Arizona State Route 210—also known as Aviation Parkway. Folks can hop on Tucson Sun Tran buses which stop along the western and southern border. Vanover says they don’t get too much traffic in the area, but car noise may be louder along the northern, eastern and western borders. Banner University Medical Center South is a 3-mile drive southeast, and Tucson International Airport is 6 miles south.
Aviation Parkway runs up against Pueblo Gardens, making for quick commuting to downtown Tucson.
Numerous Sun Tran bus stops are found along main roads in Pueblo Gardens.

More affordable housing in Pueblo Gardens
With a median home price of $242,000, Pueblo Gardens is relatively more affordable than neighboring communities like Arroyo Chico and Barrio Centro. Two-bedroom Midcentury ranch-style homes with stucco exteriors range between $150,000 to $270,000 and feature wrought iron gates around dirt-packed front yards and carport-covered driveways. Larger midcentury ranch homes and bungalows average around $300,000 and include spacious backyards with the occasional small, in-ground pool. RV Parking is available in the community, and homes sit close together along the narrow, sidewalk-covered cul-de-sacs streets with views of the Catalina foothills in the distance.

Combating crime in Pueblo Gardens
Even with a moderate CAP Index score of 5, Vanover says crime can be an issue in the area at times, but steps are being taken to reduce it. After nearly 20 years of applying for grants and funding from the Tohono O’odham Nation, 19 new solar streetlights were installed throughout the neighborhood at the beginning of 2024, with the hope of reducing criminal activity at night. “I haven’t heard as much racing up and down the street,” Vanover says.
Pueblo Gardens is actively working against root causes of crime and trying to change it.
Pueblo Gardens Neighborhood Association put in solar street lights all across the neighborhood.
