The Tucson, Arizona area has many great attractions that make living here or owning a second home/investment property awesome.  One incredible attraction is Saguaro National Park.  It's truly spectacular!  The park is divided into 2 sections. One section is located on the East side of the Tucson area and is called The Rincon Mountain District. The other section is located on the West side of the Tucson area and is called The Tucson Mountain District.

Both sections of Saguaro National Park are fantastic areas to recreate.  Housing surrounding the national park ranges in price to suit most budgets.  Imagine living right next to over 90,000 acres of the wilderness! The Rincon District rises to over 8000 feet in elevation and boasts almost 130 miles of trails.  The Western Tucson Mountain District is generally lower in elevation with denser Saguaro forests.  

Recreating in and around Saguaro National Park is a blast.  Hiking trails abound!  The vistas are incredible.  There's mountain biking trails and areas to ride motorized vehicles too.  One can stay in the valley or push their way up in elevation to experience differing vegetation and wildlife.  Of course, the fabulous Saguaro Cactus reigns supreme.  

The Sonoran desert is one of the most verdant deserts in the world.  It's chock-full of life!  Spending time in Saguaro National Park is a real treat.  There are museums in the park, resorts in and around the park, and many other attractions that folks can enjoy.  

Tucson's real estate market thrives in part because of the many wonderful and wonderous things the Tucson area has to offer.  On top of year-round great weather (well, the Summers are hot, but it's a dry heat), recreational activities of every sort are available.  Heading out for a drive through Saguaro National Park or spending some time in the park will clear the head and enliven one's soul.   

Nearby there's the Arizona - Sonoran Desert Museum, the Coronado National Forest (a sight to behold with peaks over 9000 feet in elevation offering skiing in the Winter), Old Tucson, The Sabino Canyon Recreation Area, and many other fun things to do and see in and around Saguaro National Park.
