Anchored by the Rillito River, Interstate 10, and Reid Park, this part of the city features historic homes built between 1920 and 1960 in varying architectural styles.

Local businesses here aren't the best but they have most things you would need for everyday living in your homes. Although, they aren't the most sanitary things but they will have to do because the prices are reasonable for the people who live in this area.
