| Sam Hughes Neighborhood |
The Sam Hughes Tucson neighborhood is adjacent to the University of Arizona, directly to the east. A Historic District, many UA faculty and staff live here. A charming neighborhood of mature Tucson homes, Sam Hughes is in a continual state of revitalization as new owners re-habilitate the historic buildings. The streets are closed to through traffic, a policy instituted by one of our previous mayors when his mother lived there. The streets are tree-lined and you get a sense of calm in Sam Hughes. There is steady bicycle traffic because of the proximity to the university. This Tucson neighborhood is popular with young families as there is a very highly regarded elementary school smack-dab in the middle of the area. And University High, a magnet school for the brainy, is on the southern border. Himmel Park and Branch Library are also enclosed inside the two-mile square area. There are 1748 Tucson homes in the greater Sam Hughes area. Home prices range dramatically because of the age vs. rehab situation. You could find a home here for anywhere from $200,000 to $850,000. Maybe a few lower, maybe a few higher.
