The area is wonderful. It's extremely close to the University of Arizona, while still maintaining a quiet atmosphere. I am a serious student and peace is really necessary in those crucial studying moment. The area is surprisingly not rowdy with college students. It also has this nice small town feel to it. I am originally from the city and I can't explain just how much I love the area.
