Tucson Rental
Homes was founded in 1982, in Tucson, Arizona. We build single
story, detached, Southwestern Styled Rental Homes that reflect the
charm and heritage of the Southwest together with a private enclosed
yard to enjoy the beautiful Sonoran Desert. And, most importantly,
we blend it with caring, professional management. In short, we offer
a unique and affordable Rental alternative to the cramped lifestyle
offered by the typical 2 or 3 story, stacked Apartment currently
available in Tucson.
Essentially, we
build Fine Custom Homes. But, they’re not for sale, we rent them. We
build four models. The Hacienda, a 3 bedroom, 2 full bath home. The
Casa Grande, a 2 bedroom, 2 full bath home. The Casita, a 2 bedroom,
1 full bath home. And, finally, our “Guest House”, a 1 bedroom, 1
full bath home.
Our
non-traditional building background has turned out to be our
greatest asset. Not having pre-conceived and typical ideas of
design, we invite our residents over, on a regular basis, to
participate in focus groups. We listen carefully and our design,
which is all done by us internally, from site, to interior and
exterior elevations, flows from listening carefully to the needs of
our residents. Typical rental housing is generally born out of
complex financial manipulation to create maximum profit. Our
homes are designed to satisfy the needs and desires of our
residents. Period.
Our Rental Home
Center is located at 4647 N. Campbell Avenue, just north of River
Road. We’re open 7 days a week to accommodate our residents
schedules and our phone is available 24 hours a day at: 299-4466.
Our Custom
Rental Homes feature Vaulted Ceilings, 12’ High Arched Cathedral
Windows, Fireplace, Custom Kitchen with Island, Maple and Oak
Cabinetry, Food Pantry, Wine Racks, Jacuzzi Spa Master Bath, Large
Walk-In Closet, and friendly pets are welcome. We have homes in the
North Campbell area, Catalina Foothills District 16, the Tanque
Verde Valley, & the Tucson National Golf area.
For the past
quarter of a century, we have taken a responsible and neighbor
oriented approach to building small, high quality communities in
Tucson. We have worked hard to try and set an example for
responsible development. The cornerstone of our concept is to build
communities that can be enthusiastically supported by neighborhoods,
City Council, Board Of Supervisors, and most importantly by our
diverse and broad cross section of wonderful residents.
We have gained
the trust and support of a variety of neighborhood associations in
Tucson by embracing a neighbor-oriented approach to building high
quality communities in Tucson. Each one of our projects takes into
consideration the unique characteristics of the adjacent
neighborhood and generally involves density reductions and a host of
good neighbor policies. Tucson National Casitas was built on a very
special property, just across the street from the Tucson National
Golf Course. After carefully listening to the neighbors and
voluntarily offering to reduce the density by 70%, we received 100%
support from 3 adjacent neighborhood associations. Our most recent
appearance before Mayor and Council resulted in unanimous approval
from not only the large group of neighbors that showed up to support
us, but from the Mayor and the entire council as well. These are
thrilling moments for us.
The main
obstacles we have had to overcome involved convincing the finance
community to look at a project over a long period vs. the typical
build and sell product. Although there are wonderful, dedicated,
hardworking individuals on the City and County development services
staff, the Land Use Codes are written to encourage and accommodate
the more typical stacked apartments. So, our design, which is out of
the norm, runs into many obstacles and consequently long and
expensive delays, which can be very difficult and challenging.
The qualities
we look for in land are driven by our desire to provide convenient,
excellent locations for our residents to enjoy a high quality of
life while balancing that with our sensitive commitment to our
environment. Our newest project for example was selected because it
is located outside of Critical Habitat for the Cactus Ferruginous
Pygmy Owl. We did not purchase the property until we were certain
that not only was it outside of Critical Habitat, but that our
numerous voluntary surveys, performed over three years, by two state
certified Biologists, confirmed that no owls or other bird species
were present.
Although there
is a need for our homes, the development of multi story rental units
will continue to outpace us because it’s what the finance
institutions expect, local Land Use Codes encourage and accommodate,
and it’s most profitable. Our philosophy of working diligently to
design a unique single story home with a private yard for our
residents, while satisfying the needs of neighbors, local officials,
and City & County staff, requires time consuming, meticulous
planning to persuade others to embrace a unique alternative to the
status quo.
We care deeply
about the human side of our business. Our low profile and
Southwestern designed homes, created to harmonize with the beautiful
Sonoran Desert, will be here for many years. It’s important to us
that our communities reflect nicely on our home, Tucson, and enhance
the beauty of our great city. Our communities have been embraced
with enthusiastic support from all elements of our community and
it’s a great source of pride for us.
Tucson Rental Homes has locations in the Foothills with glorious mountain views… some closer to Tucson’s downtown area… others in the heart of the city. East, West, North and Central locations. Tucson Rental Homes has 11 communities in Tucson for you to choose from… with more than 500 homes available.
