Arizona
Tucson is Arizona's second largest city. It blends Sonoran desert beauty, vibrant culture, and a relaxed lifestyle in a way that feels both welcoming and unique. Whether you’re hiking the Catalina Mountains, biking along the Rillito River Path, or exploring local shops, museums, and galleries, there’s always something new to experience! The city offers a wide range of housing options (from character-filled historic neighborhoods to newer master-planned communities) so it’s easy to find a home that fits your style and budget. Families appreciate Tucson’s mix of public, charter, and private schools, and the city’s strong sense of community.
