| La Cholla Airpark - Tucson Homes with Hangars, not Garages |
|
|
|
| La Cholla Airpark features a 4500 foot air strip
smack-dab in the middle of this upscale Tucson neighborhood. This
is a PRIVATE AIRPARK, located northeast of Tucson near the Tortolita
Mountains in Oro Valley Arizona. All lots are on a minimum of seven
acres, which can’t be subdivided. Hangars, guest houses and
horses are all permitted. The streets are runways leading to the homes. The garages are hangars, some housing three planes. In addition to Lexuses and Explorers, you see Cessnas, Beechcrafts, and Piper Cubs on the streets. Airplanes take priority over cars at La Cholla; signs warn drivers that they must pull over if faced with a taxiing aircraft. Street names are aviation oriented: for example - Tailwind Drive, Cessna Way, and Corsair Drive to name a few. There is also a 85 plane community hangar beside the airstrip for
those needing more space. La Cholla Airpark was founded in 1972,
just west of Oro Valley. In fact, before there was an Oro Valley.
There are 90 Tucson homes here, many owned by former airline and
military pilots. The flying weather in Tucson is superb, so residents
get as much flying as they want. |
