Up until this year it was next to impossible to find a home at the charming Fort Lowell  community at Hill Farm. If one became available it sold within days through word -of -mouth. Now that has changed since it is a Buyer’s market.  There are 3 very nice homes listed in the mid $300s. Two are two bedroom homes and one has two bedrooms and a den; all have two car garages and nice yards. Hill Farm has such rare features as a lake, an original Joesler- built farmhouse that has been converted to a Clubhouse with accommodations for overnight guests. Adjacent to the Club House is a pool and a spa. Unlike many neighborhoods, this one is very green; there are grass yards and older trees. It is located in a quiet area of historical Fort Lowell with easy access to Downtown and the Foothills. This community is a very rare gem!

Sabino Canyon’s tram will reopen so it can take visitors to the top. Last year’s heavy rain in late July caused rockslides that blocked the tram path after Stop 4, which is half way up the almost 4 mile road that offers splendid views of the lush canyon and Santa Catalina  mountains. The federal government has approved $1.2 million for the repair which is hoped to be completed by this Winter. “The Arizona Daily Star” stated local popular personalities–Mel Zuckerman, of the famous Canyon Ranch Spa (which is located a few miles from Sabino Canyon) and Jim Click ,who owns many Tucson car dealerships, will mount a major capital campaign for Sabino Canyon improvements.  It is great news that this Southwest treasure will be restored. Sabino Canyon is Tucson’s # 1 tourist attraction and is located in the Northeast in the Coronado National Forest.
