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. Houses are well spaced and most owners have carved out a reasonable yard space and left the rest natural desert, so the neighborhood doesn’t feel over-developed or crowded.

The second is views. Saguaro Cliffs sits just at the base of the Tucson Mountains, overlooking the city to the East. Depending on the lot and house, some have spectacular city views, some have gorgeous mountain views, and many have both.

Saguaro Cliffs details:

According to assessor data, there are 61 lots and 39 homes in Saguaro Cliffs, with a typical home having been built in the early 2000s.
Average house size is around 3500 square feet. I believe there’s a 2600 square foot minimum house size in Saguaro Cliffs, but the HOA would have to confirm that.
Most lots are gated, but there is a section of homes outside of the gate, accessed along Trails End road.
The most recent house sale, per the Tucson MLS, was at $575,000, in April 2008, for a relatively small 2579 square foot home in the ungated portion that sold in an incredible 9 days.
There are still lots available, resale. The most recent lot sale in Saguaro Cliffs was back in November 2006, a 1.79 acre parcel that sold for $310,000.
