Saguaro Cliffs Homes and Lots

August 7, 2008 | By Kelley Koehler | Filed Under Tucson Neighborhoods

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.

What’s The Price Per Square Foot in Tucson? (October 26, 2009)
If I told you a house was $175/square foot, is that a good deal or a bad deal? You can’t really say, can you? Every so often, I get asked – what is the average price per square foot in Tucson? Really, it isn’t an answerable question. Think about what that price per square foot figure really tells you – the price and how large the house is under the roof. What it doesn’t tell me is what condition the house is in, if it has an air conditioner, a pool, a 3 car garage. It doesn’t tell me anything about the lot size or the location. Doesn’t tell me if the house has been updated or not. Doesn’t tell me if that’s a five bedroom house with only one bathroom, if the house is 5 years old or 50, or if there have been unpermitted additions. In fact, the only time looking at price per square foot makes sense is when you’re looking at a collection of very similar homes – homes of similar size, age, location, condition, and lot size.
