RELOCATION
Moving from Colorado to Tucson
You keep the sun and the mountains. You lose the snow shovel.
Colorado buyers usually feel at home here fast. You still get mountain views and plenty of hiking. You trade a snowy winter for a hot summer.
What changes
Altitude
Tucson sits around 2,400 feet. Easier on the lungs, warmer all year.
Summer
Hot from June through September. Plan for it in the house you buy: shade, a good AC, and the right orientation.
Housing
Desert construction, tile and flat roofs, and desert landscaping.
Outdoors
Saguaro National Park, Sabino Canyon, and Mount Lemmon are all close to the east side.
How I help
- Video tours so you can narrow it down from Colorado
- An honest comparison of the east side, Tanque Verde, Rita Ranch, and Vail
- A plan for timing your Colorado sale with your Tucson purchase
