Rancho Sahuarita...the Premiere Master Planned Community in Southern Arizona!!!

While walking around the clubhouse at Rancho Sahuarita,  I almost felt like Marty McFly when he was transported back in time in the movie "Back to the Future".  I only had to transport approximately 30 minutes from Tucson so this was alot easier than what he had to go through.  And better.  Rancho Sahuarita has a very family friendly vibe to it and everyone that I encountered made me feel like I was part of their community.  Even though I didn't live there.  It's a type of neighborly environment you just don't expect to feel with our busy, high tech, cut off from humanity lifestyles.  Being a family man and father of 3 year old twin boys,  I thought to myself, "I need to get me one of these".  According to the real estate consulting firm, Robert Charles Lesser, Rancho Sahuarita is ranked #5 in the nation of best selling master planned communities.  This is based on the amount of new homes sold in 2008.  Walking and driving around this community, I can most definitely see why.  If this place is number 5, I'd really like to see 1 through 4.  While previewing a few pieces of real estate for a client of mine,  I found myself at one house and directly in front of it and across the street,  there was a huge, grassy park complete with swing sets and jungle gyms.  It was awesome.  The grass was manicured and not one piece of trash in the whole area.  It was pristine.  Please take a look at some of the pictures that I took of some of the little parks that Rancho Sahuarita has spread throughout their community.  Great for those spontaneous walks to the park.

Now,  back to the Rancho Sahuarita Clubhouse. 

The clubhouse could more adequately be called an amusement park.  It has an 8 lane, 25 meter lap pool, 3 (count em) waterslides, a "Big Bucket" splash pool for the kids and if you're like me, the young at heart.  This place even has a 9 hole miniature golf course with perfectly kept grass.  (Please excuse my fascination with grass.  I grew up in Ohio where grass is everywhere and when I moved to Tucson 13 years ago,  I noticed the lack of well kept grass.  In southwestern Arizona, it's a small blessing to see grass look this nice.)

The Lake.  Rancho Sahuarita has a 10 acre lake where you can actually fish and take a small sail or man powered boat on.  They even stock it with fish.  I didn't get the information on what fish it's stocked with.  That's in a later blog.  There is also an outdoor amphitheater right by the lake and they have a fishing festival every year.  While the lake in Tucson at Reid Park is nice,  it doesn't compare to this place. There are houses that are available for sale on the lake for those wanting to see some water.

The gym.  WOW.  For those of you who prefer free weights to machines, you don't usually see them in a community gym.  Rancho Sahuarita continues to impress.  They got em.  Bench presses and squat racks.  And it looks like they clean everything nightly because I couldn't find a speck of dust in this place.  For those of you who don't care about free weights, no worries.  They also have elliptical machines, steppers, stationary bikes, treadmills and the complete array of exercise machines.  If you like to watch a little TV while working out,  you're hooked up.  Rancho Sahuarita's gym has 6 flat screen TVs.  I didn't get the size.  Please excuse me.  They even have a place set up to drop off the kids while you and your loved one work out or play. I believe a small fee is involved with this.

Classes.  My wife loves classes.  She says it helps her work out.  I'm more of a solo work out guy myself, but to each his own.  She would be covered here.  Rancho Sahuarita offers classes in pilates, yoga, ballet and more.

Kiddie Train.  My kids love trains.  They love em.  They'd really love this.  On weekends, the Kiddie Trainoffers rides for the kids.  Is this cool or what.  As I like to ride the trains with them at Reid Park zoo in Tucson,  I did not find out if adults are allowed on them.  That's for a later blog as well.

Another amenity Rancho Sahuarita offers is it's Safari Park.  Here among the jungle gym and various other playground toys, you'll find bronze statues of nearly every African wild animal.  It's a unique sight and kids love it.

Shopping:  Just down the street from Rancho Sahuarita you'll find a Fry's grocery store, coffee shop, McDonalds, gas station, and I'm sure there's more to come. 

Schools:  Just to the south of Rancho Sahuarita is the K through 12 school that has recently been built.  The kids will never be far away from you.  For more information regarding the schools,  please go here http://www.sahuarita.k12.az.us/ .

All in all,  Rancho Sahuarita seems like a splendid place to put your stakes down on a piece of real estate or a new home.  The houses are great and there is something for everyone's lifestyle and budget.  The real estate in Rancho Sahuarita comes in all sizes.  Big and small.  There are even Active Adult communities offered for those 55 and older.  They get their own clubhouse too.  I did not visit these clubhouses.  Once again, that's for a later blog.  For this time, I didn't cover everything that Rancho Sahuarita has to offer.  That would take hours and pages.  Information overload.  Suffice it to say,  if you're looking for a piece of real estate and you don't mind a 20 to 30 minute drive north to downtown Tucson, you may want to consider owning a home here.  I know if I lived here, it would be really hard to not feel like I was on a permanent vacation.  Which is what everyone that I encountered looked like.  All smiles.  After all,  how many neighborhoods do you know of where Santa Claus comes to visit every holiday season.  I love living in central Tucson, but I don't feel the community vibe like I do in Rancho Sahuarita.

As a professional Tucson real estate agent who is well informed with what Rancho Sahuarita has to offer, I'm more than happy to lend my helping hand with any questions you may have.  I offer the complete line of Tucson Real Estate services and I pride myself on my commitment to customer service.  I cover all areas of Tucson.

It's a great time to buy real estate in the Rancho Sahuarita community.  Buying wisely is what really counts and that's what I'm here for.  I'll put my experience, negotiating skills, and extensive knowledge of the Rancho Sahuarita area to work for you.  Making a real estate purchase can be exhaustive.  With my diligence and expertise,  I'll make this a fun memory for you.  I'll be doing all of the heavy lifting for you.  One of the most common complaints that I hear regarding real estate agents and the customer service industry in general is lack of communication.  Clients aren't kept up to date on what's going on with their home purchase or the real estate agent keeps showing them houses they don't like.  I pride myself on the fact that I keep all of my clients fully informed throughout the process and I actively listen to what type of house you're looking for and act accordingly.  When I hear some news,  my clients immediately get it.  I'm very responsive and I'm a great listener.  Since I'm an agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage,  you also have alot of resources at your disposal.     

Rancho Sahuarita is a relatively short drive to Tucson and I'm down there alot.  It's also only a short commute to Davis Monthan Air Force Base and Raytheon.  Just to name a few places.  For those of you who insist on being busy and plugged in,  don't worry, the Rancho Sahuarita clubhouse has free wireless internet available.  See, it has something for everyone.
