One of the great aspects of living in Tucson, Arizona's second largest city, is having everything at your fingertips. The thriving downtown is known for its abundance of sports venues, world-class shopping, theater, symphony, and dining. Just outside the city limits, you'll have access to scenic national parks where you can hike, mountain bike, camp, and explore the many caves. You'll be able to enjoy year-round golf, thanks to Tucson's 350 days of sunshine and warm temperatures. In short, your family will be able to enjoy just about anything you can think of. The attractive lifestyle is what drew Pulte Homes to this area for Sierra Morado-La Mesa, our master-planned and green community, and you will see that the minute you enter this beautiful neighborhood. Miles of shaded sidewalks, wide bike paths, native washes, and numerous neighborhood pocket parks connect the homes, streets, and amenities. And if you think it's beautiful on the outside, wait until you see the outstanding quality in each floor plan of these eco-friendly homes. With energy efficiency features like solar-powered water heaters and reclaimed water use, this is not only a family friendly neighborhood, but an environmentally friendly neighborhood as well.
The stunning Rincon Mountains form a scenic backdrop to Sierra Morado-La Mesa, yet the neighborhood is conveniently located right off Houghton Road, just about five miles south of Broadway. Everything in Tucson is easily accessible: theater, great restaurants, medical facilities, outstanding schools, even the city's biggest employers such as IBM, Raytheon, and DMAF.
There are a number of worship facilities available in the area, so please check local listings for addresses and phone numbers.
