Pima County pairs big-sky Sonoran Desert views with an easygoing pace that’s hard to resist. Anchored by Tucson, the county is framed by the Santa Catalina, Rincon, and Tucson Mountains, offering year-round hiking, biking, and stargazing. Weekend plans often include towering cacti at the iconic Saguaro National Park, where trails, scenic drives, and ranger programs showcase the landscape’s living history, or hands-on encounters with desert wildlife at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum. Downtown galleries, live music, and a celebrated food scene round out the picture, while family-friendly suburbs such as Oro Valley, Marana, and Sahuarita deliver neighborhood parks, new construction, and mountain backdrops.
Schools are a point of pride. Tucson Unified School District serves a broad expanse of the community with magnet options, language programs, and arts and STEM offerings, and the University of Arizona fuels research, healthcare, and cultural life—from Wildcats games to world-class museums and performances. Housing runs the gamut from historic bungalows and midcentury ranches to master-planned communities with pools, paths, and playgrounds. With more than 280 days of sunshine, residents split time between trailheads, farmers markets, and patio dining, then catch sunsets that light up the saguaros.
