South Tucson Real Estate

The city of South Tucson calls itself the "Pueblo within a city" because it's surrounded on all sides by Tucson. South Tucson is an ethnic community of about 5,500 in one square mile south of the city of Tucson. It's a community known for its traditional Mexican flavor and culture. Incorporated in 1936, then disbanded in 1938 and reincorporated in 1940, South Tucson is governed by a mayor and six council members, and recently made history in 2007 with the addition of it's first-ever motorcycle unit.

Only about 34 percent of the population of South Tucson are married, and about 40 percent are homeowners. This makes South Tucson a great place to meet other singles. Around 77 percent of employees commute in the area because of it's close proximity to both I-19 and I-10, but many people walk and bike, so it's a great place to live if you enjoy alternate means of getting to work.

South Tucson got a bad rap for it's crime rate in 2005, which was quoted as being as high as Camden, New Jersey--the nation's most dangerous city--according to one statistician. However, that designation was misleading due to the fact that all of Tucson's crime rate was factored in to this small enclave of Tucson.

South Tucson is home to over 300 businesses, including Tucson Greyhound Park. It's well-known in the area for it's authentic Mexican restaurants and colorful murals, and several famous festivals each year, including the Saint Patrick's Day Parade and the Nortefio Music Festival and Street Fair held in August.

The homes in South Tucson range from bungalow to barrio style, and most were built around the 1950s. Students in this area go to Tucson Unified School District. Since Tucson surrounds this small community, South Tucson is close to many Tucson attractions, such as downtown, the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum, Old Tucson Studios, the San Xavier del Bac Mission, and Kitt Peak observatory.
