While filled with plenty of more affordable housing options, Tucson, Arizona is also host to a plethora of high-end communities, subdivisions and neighborhoods, especially in the northern and northwestern sections of the city. For example, the Tucson luxury real estate communities of Oro Valley, Marana and Catalina Foothills are home to a wealth of upscale communities, both gated and non-gated, and in fact, Oro Valley has been called one of the most affluent communities in the southwest. Oro Valley’s master-planned community of Rancho Vistoso boasts a number of gated subdivisions, including the luxury subdivision of Honey Bee Canyon, which contains only 48 lots sized at over an acre each, as well as intimate venues such as Fairfield at Vistoso, a golf subdivision on the Vistoso Golf Course.

Nestled across the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains, the master-planned community of Dove Mountain lies in the nearby town of Marana. Like Rancho Vistoso, Dove Mountain is home to several gated communities, including The Gallery and Canyon Pass. The very private and gated Gallery Canyon has only 15 residences and The Overlook boasts just 17 custom-built houses, while gated courtyards are the pièce de résistance at the Private Collection at the Terrace. Within these communities, views typically are right on the fairways of one of the two courses of the Gallery Golf Club, making these addresses ideal for golfers and spectators of the sport. But that’s not all; there’s also Dos Lagos on the club’s south course. The posh living quarters here currently carry price tags of more than $1 million each.

Other subdivisions in Dove Mountain include the retirement community of Heritage Hills, The Villages, Quail Crossing, The Preserve and The Bluffs. Dove Mountain features four golf courses, including the course at the Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, host of the World Golf Championships – Accenture Match Play Championship.

The community of Catalina Foothills is also home to dramatic homes and estates, including Catalina Foothills Estates which is a collection of gorgeous neighborhoods located just slightly north of Tucson. These communities, some of which are gated, offer a subtle blend of architectural styles ranging from Tuscan-inspired motifs to magnificent desert estates to territorial ranch homes. For families with school-age children, it’s important to note that the Estates are served by the Catalina Foothills School District, which is consistently ranked as one of the top school districts in Arizona.

With spectacular views of the Santa Catalina Mountains and the city of Tucson itself, Cobblestone Homes is considered one of the most elite subdivisions in Catalina Foothills. If you’re a golf aficionado, you can choose to make your home in one of Catalina Foothills’ scenic golf subdivisions such as La Paloma, which is made up of several smaller neighborhoods surrounding the golf course at the exclusive Westin La Paloma Resort.

Meanwhile, The Canyons in Catalina Foothills is nestled right next to the base of the Santa Catalinas and features homes currently ranging in price from $2 million to $8 million. Every house is on a large, private lot and has a wonderful view of the mountains, with some also overlooking the city lights of Tucson.
