This sounds like realator propaganda . If you're thinking about moving to Tucson, come here, spend a week or two, rent a car, spend 8 hours a day living here. Don't get sucked into this tourist pitch. Tucson is not a wonderful pie in the sky town. The areas in the video are mostly outside the city proper. Take your time, look over everything. Remember the political base in the region are liberals. They take your taxes and spend on social welfare while letting roads and such turn to crap. Have a sizable income and prepare to spend a lot to maintain your lifestyle. I've lived here 60 years, Tucson has grown much, but never matured....RF

Living in Marana now.

Corona De Tucson is rarely mentioned. Why is that?

I give Tucson one star, Avoid

So if it’s a 110 outside, what would the temperature be inside the house?

Lived here for almost a decade these people are some of the worst drivers I've ever seen in my life, these people don't even understand basic driving laws. Not to mention every third vehicle seems to be a semi truck.

Tucson absolutely sucks ! Run by libs ! Filthy dirty ,crime rate out of control! People drive like lunatics ! Homeless people everywhere ‘! Hit and runs several everyday ! Lived for almost three years and couldn’t wait to get out of there ! In Sierra vista now and it’s soo hot turning the summer and not an oz of water anywhere ! On my way where there is some grass ,water and trees ! Seriously go for a visit before you make your move ! I know so many people who have moved here only to move away a few years later

Jackie Daytona highly recommends Tuscon, Arizonia as a great place to live!

Tucson has become incredibly dangerous with crime my car broken into and home I live in a decent area lots of homeless desperate folks now with housing skyrocketing

Lived in Tucson over 50 years. A great majority of the location he mentions are over priced and out of reach for most families. Sam Hughes, really? Get ready for fixer uppers, beer bottles from UofA students, sports crowds and homeless people. Beautiful homes and near events, yes. Also restrictions, parking problems and overbearing associations.

Read the homeless situation there is getting out of hand...

Regina Romero has turned this town into a toilet Homelessness is a major problem Drugs are everywhere Crime is rampant Police are worthless You can have it. The liberals have destroyed it.

Even though I've lived here for a little while, I learned so much! And I enjoyed your presentation style - very engaging!

Music is intrusive

5th gen Tucsonan here - the history and nuances of the city are steeped in BE YOURSELF, smart and of high integrity. The current mayor is a loser, but hopefully the next one will act smart and be open to all races and new ideas.

El encanto, solana and Sam Hughes.

The background noise AKA music makes it hard to listen to you. You probably have some interesting things to say. Why the background noise? This is like fingernails on a chalkboard. Does KZbin encourage this? This is meant to be constructive feedback.

Why are you growing and shrinking in this video? That's just weird.

I appreciate the effort to speak to living in Tucson, but let's be honest. There are many available statistics about where Tucson ranks high for certain types of crimes, such as car theft, property, and violent crimes - Particularly in certain parts of town. It's not all rainbows and unicorns. And It's very convenient to describe Tucson's "diversity" with respect to the hispanic culture, but he neglected to mention that the african/ black population hasn't changed much from 4.5% in the last 40 years. That's not a lot of diversity in a city of almost a million people! As a black female who's lived here for many years and worked in the HR field, it's the most common question I get from potential black applicants. Not to mention, because the spread out nature of Tucson, It's difficult to locate specific pockets of diverse cultures. There are a number of online resources/social media groups for black people who are considering moving to Tucson, and I can state unequivably, that many of the current inhabitants will advise black families where they should not enroll their children for school, or where they have experienced prejudicial bias. But most will agree, as I do, that Tucson is generally pretty friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, it doesn't have a very good reputation for diversity on a national level, And real estate professionals need to be attuned to this reality. I have no idea how Asian Americans perceive "diversity" in Tucson, but it might be worth surveying them and migrant populations about their experiences living here.

Don’t move to Tucson. Stay in the east if you live in the east. There’s already enough people in AZ.

Marana twin peaks and I-10 🎉🎉🎉 hometown freaking beautiful. Been down 3 times mobbed the Tucson streets for years❤. Living in Central City Phoenix now. Took 6 hours for the police to come when someone hit and run me. Don't move to Central City guarantee you in the top five of all cities in the US crime here in Phoenix

Hi there! Thank you very much for this awesome run down of the greater Tucson area! We live up in Ouray Colorado. We're pulling our camper down to Tucson in a little over a week to stay there for a week and a half and explore the area! And....we are done with this winter up here! My wife and I will have fun, no doubt. But, my german shepherd that is tagging along with us will be missing the snow, no doubt. Hmmmmm...I honestly can't answer the preference between the Foothills and Oro Valley. I've never been to the Foothills. And, I've only drove through Oro Valley when a couple of years ago, I took a diversion down to Tucson on one of my Phoenix trips. On the drive back to Colorado, I took that Oro Valley/Catalina/Globe/Apache Falls/Show Low way home. I don't remember the specifics; but I do recall thinking it is pretty nice on this western and north western part of the mountain range! Have a great day! (new subscriber, by the way). PS. Marana, Tanque Verde, Vail, Tierra Linda Nueva and other parts will be on our exploration list too! PPSS. Hmmm...Marana has potential too. I'm in the aviation industry. This location would favor if I had to go to Phoenix. So....for all of these places, it is always give and take......some bigger lots, some more bang for the buck, proximity to services, proximity to hiking/walking/biking, maybe a pool & hot tub, easy access to downtown, easier access to Phoenix, rv parking...........so many things to consider!!

I agree Dove mountain shouldn’t be bottom of the list.

Rita ranch has gone downhill though. I wouldn’t like to live there. That being said, Vail is more of a family town than Oro Valley would be. Oro Valley is more of an older community. When I say older I don’t mean like 60+ community but it’s a much older age place. I mean, that’s where I want to live when my kids are out of the house 😂

Can you share with me gated communities that are near bike/walking trails?

Great informative video Paul. Keep them coming!

Would you recommend getting a realtor if you plan on buying a new build in the future? A lot of the staff tells us that we don’t need one.

Open border

Paul, in addition to Sky Ranch what is the other subdivision you mentioned that is similar to SR with quite a bit of green belt.

Having lived in Shite Creek Arizona akaThe Old Pueblo I can honestly say.. happiness is it shrinking in your rear view mirror.

I’m looking at Tucson and found options in Tanque Verde but concerned because I noticed it’s less than 1% of AA at the schools and they’ve recently had some challenges. Is it an issue as a whole or just a one off in your opinion. I don’t want to be somewhere that isn’t safe for my AA family.

Paul, how many homes in Sky Ranch and when were they built?

Paul, please have a review of Saddlebrook Ranch

Pulte homes are wonderful and there are so many options or changes that can be made. Ravenna is my favorite floor plan as a tub can be added in the master bath as well as any other changes one desires. As an avid PB player there should be an additional 2 courts.

And YOUR Top 3 would be?

None of you realators ever mention anything about rv living. How is the full time rv living scene? Also, DUDE.......KILL THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!

Rude people, crazy drivers & a shithole city.

Taco Giro plaza cortero

Go Florida worst place on earth

Your so full of crap I been there nothing wrong with it

Loved the part about pronouncing Sahuarita! Glad to know I'm not alone in wondering how to pronounce that correctly. Thanks for the informative video as I continue to investigate Tucson as a potential retirement location. BTW, I would've preferred to hear the monsoon thunder over that mostly annoying background music!

best wishes wuth your channel

He Paul, maybe it’s just me but could you turn that music down a notch? Maybe a switch up to a little softer or slower local ethnic music.

Why do new homes have kitchen islands with a sink ? The sink belongs on counter by the outside wall.

You completely ignored San Lucas subdivision, 800 homes, off Marana Rd. BTW, in Gladden Farms a new Fry's superstore is now under construction, open early summer.

Barrio Hollywood

Hi I have been to Tucson 6 times. My son lived there for 7 years he is married to a girl from Tucson now they live in Sweden. Tucson is the place I like the most. I have visited everything from Turkey to all Western European countries. We are Swedish. We have a couple of hours to Denmark to Germany 4-5 hours. But Tucson is the place I like best With all the sights unlike anything else I've seen. such as the Pima Air & Space Museum/Sonora desert. Unfortunately, no one is interested in receiving your Nordic tourists. It is close to the Grand Canyon and Las Vegas as well. Unfortunately, I probably won't be back, it's one of my travel memories.

dude that soundtrack is murder (but thx for the info)

The Sam Hughes area is NOT a suburb! It's right smack dab in the middle of the city. Nice homes for sure, but there are a lot of them rented to University students year round. So, if you want to hear loud parties, cars racing up and down the streets, and difficulties parking, this is ok for you.
