La Cholla Airpark – Horses and Hangars
September 12, 2008 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Neighborhoods
I was researching some horse property in Tucson today for a client – if you want a good sized lot, close to town, with horse facilities, you keep coming back to La Cholla Airpark.
La Cholla Airpark is unique among Tucson’s luxury home communities – namely because it has a private airstrip and because horses are allowed. Several homes have both horse facilities and hangars.
A typical lot in La Cholla Airpark is about 7 acres, and there are roughly 100 homes in the subdivision. Given the large lot size, the homes are private and usually have fabulous views of either the Tortolita Mountains, the Catalina Mountains, or of sunset and city lights.
What I find amazing is that La Cholla Airpark is nestled up against the Tortolita Mountains, right on the outskirtrs of Oro Valley, so you have amenities of a much more rural area, but are still very close to town. You can fly home, taxi over to your private estate, park your plane on your property, go for a ride on your horse, and the closest light night pint of ice cream or nice meal out is only 10 minutes away.
As of today, homes range from $799,000 to $6,400,000, which is quite a spread. More typically, homes sell in La Cholla Airpark between $1-3 million, with more expensive homes having larger lots, larger homes, more amenities, and the lower end tend to be the older, smaller homes, on average lots.
Occasionally, bare lots come on the market as well. Today, there are two La Cholla Airpark lots for sale, both at $650,000 for roughly 7 acre parcels.
You can see all homes for sale in La Cholla Airpark here, and the lots for sale here.

- Sonoran Preserve on the Bajada (August 20, 2008)
Received a packet today about a new(ish) land subdivision up in Northwest Tucson – in Marana, actually. It’s called Sonoran Preserve on the Bajada, which was where the 2008 SAHBA Parade of Homes was held.
It’s a gated land community, and there’s about 20 lots left, of 29 total. Most are just under an acre, with [...] - Saguaro Cliffs Homes and Lots (August 7, 2008)
I’ve been discussing the Saguaro Cliffs neighborhood with a family who was attracted to the area on a recent visit. It’s one of my favorite West side custom home developments for several reasons.
The first is privacy. A typical lot in Saguaro Cliffs is easily an acre and a half, if not 2 acres or more. [...] - Northeast Tucson Real Estate Market Report – November 2009 (December 23, 2009)
The Northeast side of Tucson is an interesting little market segment. The region covers a largish geographic area, but the housing is generally not dense – there are many older houses on large lots, acreage and horse property. There’s nearly two separate markets in the Northeast – the closer-in newer track home communities and then [...]

La Cholla Airpark is a special community in the Tucson area for buyers that can afford it, and own their own plane it maybe the best fit in Tucson for them.
What do you think of Bel Air Ranch Estates? Having looked at a number of horse-property neighborhoods, it seems like there are some real bargains there (houses averaging about 320K). They are older homes, but the lots are an acre or more and the nearby stables are staffed by incredibly friendly and helpful folks (so our horse could be at the house or at the stables). So is there some catch here? Or are the house prices so reasonable in Bel Air because of the economic slump? (I’m from out of town, so I don’t know the “realty ropes” of Tucson.)
Thanks,
James
Hi James! I like Bel-Air quite a bit, over on the Northeast side. I’m running around on errands, let me send you an answer via email in a bit. Thanks for stopping by!
