Finding an apartment in Tucson, AZ

Sunny days, great scenery, and great jobs. That's just a sample of what you'll get in Tucson, AZ. But, finding an apartment to rent may seem overwhelming if you are just moving there, so here's a little guide to the city and Tucson apartment rental options.

Where to Work

Since Tucson is home to the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, you'll find many soldiers. The University of Arizona is another major employer, and other prominent industries include tourism, retail, service, electronics, and missile production. With all of this variety, you should have no problem playing for your Tucson apartment rental.

What to See and Do

If you rent an apartment in Tucson, you'll have a variety of attractions to keep you busy. History is a large part of Tucson, so you can visit attractions like Fort Lowell, the Old Adobe, Titan Missile Museum, Mission San Xavier del Bac, and the Arizona Historical Society. Art and culture abound, as well, so you can explore the Tucson Museum of Art and the University of Arizona Art Museum. Fun annual events you can enjoy while you rent a Tucson apartment include the Tucson Folk Festival, The Tucson Rodeo, and the Fourth Avenue Street Fair. Outdoors activities like hiking, biking, and camping, are popular since residents have the luxury of nearly a full year of sunny days.

Where to Live

If you rent a Tucson apartment downtown, you'll be in the midst of interesting architecture, historic buildings, and ongoing efforts to make the area more lively and appealing. You'll find the Tucson Botanical Gardens, Reid Park, and the University of Arizona in Central or Midtown, so you'd be able to find a wide range of Tucson apartment rentals in that area. In West Tucson, you'll find a mix of urban and suburban living options. East Tucson is a newer neighborhood, and Tucson apartments for rent here will be higher priced than in other neighborhoods.
