    San Xavier Casitas is one of the best places I've lived. Centrally located, the area is quiet and close to both shopping and downtown Tucson. First and foremost, the staff here is exceptional! The office staff goes above and beyond, working to find solutions. More important is the maintenance crew who assess and repair quickly, so "calling the repair guy" becomes a pleasure. If only every leasing experience that I have had has been like this!

    Living here is great because of the location but one of the staff here is great. I cant speak for them all because I've known Zuseth longer than any of the other people. This will be my second year living here and the newly renovated places are amazing compared to the ones that have not been renovated but they are still a really great price compared to so many other places. I've never had any problems living here.

    My wife and I have lived here for about 1 month now and we love the location of the apartment. It is located about a 5-minute walk from downtown Tucson and about 10 minutes drive from the University of Arizona. The units are well furnished and well equipped with an electric stove and oven, refrigerator, and in-room washer and dryer, the A/C unit is also brand new. The staff are very polite, professional, and helpful, Ms Judith and Ms Angela are great at what they do to manage the apartment complex. We are very happy and satisfied being part of the community here.

    Living in location

    Tucson is a vibrant, eclectic city located in southern Arizona that attracts renters from a variety of backgrounds due to its year-round warm weather and low cost of living. Its downtown is situated in a valley surrounded by the Tucson Mountains, which results in beautiful desert scenery. If you love spending time outdoors, you'll love renting in Tucson, as the area has a wealth of options for hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing nearby. Tucson is also one of Arizona's largest cultural centers and has a vibrant downtown area with a variety of restaurants, entertainment options and cultural attractions. Some of the most notable include the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum; the Pima Air and Space Museum; and the Tucson Museum of Art. There's also no shortage of job opportunities for renters in Tucson, as the city has a thriving economy. The city is particularly well-known for optics manufacturing and development, but there are also many opportunities in the tech and aerospace sectors, partially due to the presence of Davis-Monthan Air Force Base.

    Renting in Tucson, AZ

In particular, you'll notice a variety of colorful and unique rental homes in the Pueblo architecture style, as well as some rentals with Spanish and Mediterranean architectural influences. Plus, many of Tucson's rental properties are in walkable neighborhoods laid out in a grid system. However, the city's overwhelming heat can make walking around difficult in the summer. Additionally, most rentals don't have lawns in an effort to conserve water, but rather feature cacti and other native plants. Likewise, because Tucson receives so much sun each year, many apartment complexes also feature solar panels. Notably, Tucson's rental prices are very affordable when compared to other major cities of its size, with no shortage of budget-friendly apartment options. There are also many apartment options that cater specifically to students, military personnel and retirees in Tucson.
