Suburbia beside a golf course
Named after its park and golf course, the east Tucson suburb of Rolling Hills is a sought-after, mostly residential community where people tend to put down roots. “Rolling Hills is an established neighborhood with a good reputation. A lot of people who live there, they want to stay,” says Denise Newton, an associate broker with Realty Executives Arizona Territory Foothills who has over 26 years of industry experience. Well-rated schools are within walking distance of Rolling Hills' well-maintained late 20th-century and early 2000s homes, and there are grocery stores and restaurants right in the neighborhood. Local houses of worship include Saint Francis de Sales Parish and Immanuel Presbyterian Church.
Tucson Unified schools nearby
Rolling Hills is part of the Tucson Unified School District, rated B overall by Niche. Local kids can start school at the neighborhood’s B-rated Marshall Elementary, before moving on to the C-plus-rated Secrist Middle. At the B-minus-rated Santa Rita High, students can choose career-focused pathways in fields like dental assisting, culinary arts and computer science. Teens may also attend the neighborhood's private, B-plus-rated St. Augustine Catholic High, where 98% of the Class of 2024 seniors were accepted to college.
Heading outdoors in Pima County
The neighborhood’s namesake golf club offers a semi-private 18-hole course that’s been a local staple since 1962. Locals can apply for membership to get perks like reduced fees, advance scheduling and access to member-only events like themed dinners. The dog-friendly Rolling Hills Park is next to the course, offering a covered playground, playing field and courts for basketball and pickleball. The Loop is a 130-mile shared-use path along the Pantano Wash River that's a favorite with cyclists, connecting some of Tucson’s parks and winding around the metro area.
Jesse Owens Park is about 2 miles away, with a community pool and splash pad that are especially popular in summer, when temperatures often top 100 degrees. Saguaro National Park is 5 miles away, with dirt-packed hiking trails and scenic mountain views; locals can sign up for ranger-led hikes to learn about the park’s native wildlife, like roadrunners and Gila monsters.

Events at the fairgrounds
In April, the Pima County Fair is held 13 miles away at the Pima County Fairgrounds. “It’s got the rides, the foods and you hope to keep the food down after the rides,” Baker says. “There’s usually a petting zoo, concerts. Ther’s lots to do there.” Baker also says the fairgrounds host other events throughout the year, including lots of equestrian and livestock shows.
Local shopping and dining nearby
Rolling Hills is mostly residential, but shopping and dining are found around the neighborhood’s outskirts. Old Spanish Trail Marketplace has chain stores and big-box retailers like Ross Dress for Less, and across the street, there's a Fry’s and a Target. Neighborhood eateries include the drive-thru chain Black Rock Coffee, as well as locally owned spots like Giuseppe’s, where locals can enjoy a date night dinner with rustic Italian fare. Los Nopales pairs specialty margaritas with Mexican favorites like tamales, enchiladas and chimichangas. Mulligans is a sports and billiards bar where locals may head after a round of golf for beers and wings on the spray-misted patio.

Homes with generously sized lots in east Tucson
Rolling Hills’ single-family homes are generally set in planned subdivisions, and most are ranch-style from the late 20th century through early 2000s, with three to five bedrooms and Spanish-style features like desert-hued stucco and clay-tiled roofs. “These homes are quality block construction for the most part, with generously sized lots, like a third or quarter of an acre,” Newton says. “There's much more elbow room compared to some newer homes.” The neighborhood's ranch-style homes have layouts of 1,200 to 2,500 square feet, plus carports or attached garages. Lots range from 6,000 to 14,000 square feet, and front yards are often landscaped with gravel and low-water plantings like barrel cacti, as well as palm and mesquite trees that shade the sidewalk-lined streets.
There are also a few late 20th century townhome communities, like Spanish Meadows, where monthly homeowners association dues of about $150 go toward community upkeep and access to a shared pool. Townhomes typically have two to three bedrooms in layouts of 1,000 to 1,500 square feet, and lots are about 1,500 to 2,500 square feet. Townhomes range from $200,000 to $300,000, while single-family homes range from $250,000 to $550,000; all prices depend on a home’s size and special features, like attached garages, private pools or golf course views.
