Pima Canyon is perhaps the most exclusive community in the Catalina Foothills. This (manned) gated community is located North of Skyline just before it turns in to Ina in the western side of the coveted Catalina Foothills. The site for this 290 home community on 450 acres  could not be more beautiful–it is adjacent to the Coronado National Forest with majestic canyons that are surrounded by the pristine Sonoran Desert. Towering Catalina Mountain Views are in back and the sparkling Tucson city lights are in front. A great appeal for this community is that all homes are under 10 years old.  The schools are Amphitheater District since it is located too far West to be part of Catalina Foothills -District 16 schools, however, many children who live here open-enroll into Catalina Foothills  - District 16  schools which are closeby.

While there are 21 homes for sale at LaPaloma,  there have been 24 homes sold in 2009.  It seems  LaPaloma sales are becoming much more balanced than neighboring Ventana Canyon which has sold so few in 2009, yet has so many for sale.  Both are drop-dead gorgeous communities that back to the Santa Catalina Mountains and are nestled amongst top National Golf Courses. Both communities offer buyers very good housing choices at highly discounted prices.

One of the most popular communities in the Tucson Foothills is Cimarron Foothills Estates which is located close to Ventana Canyon. This Foothills community offers 24 hour roving guard security, yet at a low HOA fee. Many homes have spectacular views of the Catalina Mountains  and the sparkling Tucson city lights. Because this community is districted for Catalina Foothills - District 16 schools which has the highest test scores with low teacher to student ratio, many families chose this community.  There are 380 homes that are not cooky-cutterish and are unique that offer affordability with prices generally cheaper than neighboring Alta Vista and Ventana Canyon. Cimarron Foothills Estates is located just North of Sunrise and West of Craycroft.

The following homes are for sale:

5862 E Paseo Cimarron    $540,000        4 bed, 3 baths      2,715 sq ft      1.28 acre   Pool + Spa
