I’ve got a client looking for a vacation home in the Tucson Foothills, and we’ve concentrated our search on the Sabino Canyon/Ventana Canyon area.
I like this little corner of Tucson a lot - there’s a nice shopping center so a grocery store, drug store, and restaurants are all very nearby, and then there’s the beautiful Sabino Canyon area, which speaks for itself. It’s a popular second home or vacation home area.
There are several condo conversion projects in the area; some are only resale units and some are still for sale by the developer.
By the way, a condo conversion in this area means an apartment complex that has been converted to ownership units - converted to condos and each unit is sold off individually.
We spent most of our time at Veranda at Ventana, the Greens at Ventana, and at Canyon View at Ventana. Those first two are still being sold by the developer, and the third is all resale units.
Prices vary from, oh, the $130s to the mid $200ks, depending on size, complex, view, and level of interior finishes. There’s one complex that has a relationship with a vacation rental management company. I don’t have costs on hand for that, but I thought that was an incredibly smart move on behalf of the complex.
If you’re thinking about a condo over in that Ventana/Sabino Canyon area, send me an email and we can set up the guided tour.
