Beautiful place to live nestled into the Rincon and Santa Catalina Mountains and just a hop, skip, and a jump from Mt. Lemmon.

I wouldn't mind living near here despite the plummeting market values.

The area that I live in is one of the safest in tow. Being located in the county allows for immediate police response if there is any problems. There has been only one break in that I can recall in the duration of eighteen years.
