RELOCATION

Moving from the Midwest to Tucson

No more scraping ice off the windshield. Here's what to know before you make the move.

A lot of people find Tucson as snowbirds first. They spend a winter or two here, then decide to stay. If that's you, or you're making the jump all at once, here's what changes.

What changes

Winter

Mild and sunny. This is the part everyone loves.

Summer

This is the part to plan for. June through September is hot. The house's AC, shade, and orientation matter.

Basements

Most Tucson homes don't have one. Plan your storage around garages and closets.

Housing

Stucco and block construction, tile roofs, and desert yards that need very little watering.
