Let’s visit the West side of Tucson and take a look at Saguaro Cliffs.
Saguaro Cliffs started out as a land development in late 2004: a developer bought the parcel, subdivided it into lots, and created all the roads, brought utilities to the lot lines, and set it all up to be sold as parcels of ready-to-build land.
There are 61 lots total, ranging from 1.5 acres to roughly 3 acres, although there are two owners in the subdivision that have extraordinary lots, at 4.6 and 6 acres, respectively. Utilities are underground, and have been brought to the lot lines. Septic systems are required, as there is no city sewer in the area.
Saguaro Cliffs is a gated community, but at this point, the gates are only closed on Sundays since there is ongoing development in the subdivision.
It is also a custom home community, where each lot owner gets to hire their own builder to create their dream house, and there is no restriction on when the house must be built. There are community rules that govern, among other things: building height, colors used, and size of the house and accessory structures. Minimum house size is 2400 square feet. As of today, lots are priced between $250k and $350k, and houses range from $850k to $1.2 million.
Saguaro Cliffs is a very striking community, with a good deal of open space between houses. Most lots either have city views or mountain views, and both are spectacular. The association has kept a natural feel to the landscape along the roads, and it feels like a nice, quite, remote community.
I’d place this neighborhood about 10 minutes from the freeway, and maybe 15 minutes from downtown.
It is quite a spectacular place, covered in saguaro, palo verde, jojoba, and mesquite trees.
