Mercado District - Tucson's Downtown Green Community

By
Real Estate Agent with Realty One Group Mountain Desert AZDRE# SA582422000

Downtown Tucson is experiencing a rebirth.  One of the newest developments is located on the actual birthplace of Tucson itself - with streets following the routes of the first canals in the area.

The Mercado District of Menlo Park is a truly unique community - setting the standard for sustainability and livability in the region.  All of the custom builders in The Mercado use differing Green construction methods to achieve high-performance standards while providing a peaceful environment of privacy within a vibrant community. 

 

 

Live/work opportunities are a part of the unique character of The Mercado - much like the original village that lies preserved beneath it.  The narrow streets are by design to make the area more pedestrian-friendly.  Parking for guests or visitors is plentiful and close, with Tucson's new Modern Streetcar an added bonus - The Mercado District is the western beginning of the route to the heart of Downtown and to the University of Arizona. 

Architecture is a blend of Old Mexico and turn-of-the-century style, with one area, The Paseo, designed to be a walking street of shops, galleries and residences that bring back a simpler way of living.

Soon to come:  a gallery of photos as we watch the first Paseo residences come to life from the ground up!

Dale - it really is a great community.  The people make it special...and some of them are the builders themselves who live there!

It is a truly unique community.  I'll never forget seeing it for the first time on New Year's Eve and watching the neighborhood out...together...around the fire pit and having a wonderful time.  I'd love to see this style of building and community spread.  I mean, when was the last time any of us hung out with our neighbors?
