Services for Real Estate Pros

Located in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, the small town of Oro Valley, Arizona is the perfect place to buy gorgeous property and settle in.

A relatively new city, Oro Valley homes have a very modern, Southwest feel to them, framing views to rival any picture you could see in a magazine.  With houses nestled at the edge of the Saguaro National Park, hiking, biking, and camping are ever-present options as things to do with your free time.  And while most people think that Arizona is a dry land reserved for desert lovers, the very same national park is home to Mt. Lemmon, the southern-most ski resort in the nation, something to spend those long, hot summer days looking forward to. 

If you want to add golfing to the list of great activities you can do in Oro Valley, then perhaps a house right on one of the many courses in the area is what you should search for!  The valley is filled with top-tier courses designed by greats in the golf world, ready for you to unwind and enjoy all year long.

Oro Valley’s ultra-close proximity to Tucson means a hub of all things culture and culinary plus colleges are within reach.  Tucson is home to the University of Arizona, lending a youthful and vibrant feel to the city, while foodies have found the Southwest a tantalizing place to create cuisine that delights.  The city is also home to a host of theatres, galleries, and music venues, so you’re never left wondering what to do with your night.

In this day and age, a primary question on everyone’s mind is what does the job situation look like? In short, if you’re in technical fields, the job market looks incredible. Tucson is home to a number of large scale tech firms and has been voted by Money magazine as one of the best cities in the U.S. to live in more than once, and made Fortunes list of “100 Best Places to Live and Launch”.  It may be hard to convince yourself to work from that home office you set up, since you will no doubt spend countless hours daydreaming about all the other ways you could be spending your time, but if you can muster the willpower it is going to be well worth it. 

If you are looking for your perfect Southwest living spot, look no further than residential listings in Oro Valley.  Breathtaking views, a steady job market, and a long list of ways to explore the magic of the desert all await your arrival!
