About Carriage Park

Carriage Park is a square mile of Tucson's east side that holds three kinds of housing at once rather than one, and that is the thing to understand about it before any of the numbers. Pima County records 1,679 parcels lying wholly inside. A thousand and twenty-five of them are single-family house parcels running to 205 acres; five hundred and five more are condominium and townhouse unit parcels on about fifteen acres between them; and nine apartment properties, most of them along Pantano Road and Speedway Boulevard, hold about seventy-five acres on nine parcels. Over the last three years the three closed at very different prices — a $355,000 median for the detached houses, $292,000 for the townhouses and $190,000 for the condominiums — so any single figure for the whole square mile describes none of them, which is why the price section below gives the three before it gives a blend. Two Tucson Unified campuses stand inside the boundary rather than near it, and a soil-cemented wash runs north to south through the middle of it. The census estimate over the same boundary counts 4,047 housing units against those 1,679 parcels — 1,235 owner-occupied, 2,436 renter-occupied and 376 vacant — and the gap between the two counts is the apartments, where one parcel carries many homes. The four sides are four arterial streets — East Speedway Boulevard along the north, East Broadway Boulevard along the south, North Pantano Road west and North Camino Seco east — and the boundary is a whole section with nothing taken out of it: a geodesic integration of the ring gives 641.70 acres, 1.0026 square miles, in a block 0.999 miles wide by 1.013 deep with a 4.012-mile perimeter. All four sides check against Pima County's street-centerline layer: Speedway's mapped centreline runs within a metre of the north edge, Broadway within about five of the south, Camino Seco within about seven of the east, and Pantano within about nineteen of the west. The name is the City of Tucson's own. The City registers an active Carriage Park neighborhood association over this ground, filed under Ward 2 with Tucson Unified recorded as its school district, registered on 3 February 2010 and last updated on 1 February 2024, with signed bylaws on the City's own server — a 2015 scan carrying no text layer, so nothing on this page is attributed to the document itself. The registered polygon is the same square mile: 642.10 acres by the City layer's own area field against the 641.70 measured off the boundary used here, matching on every side to within a couple of metres. That is the closest agreement between a mapped neighborhood and a registered association this site has recorded. The recorded plats underneath carry a slightly different name, and the difference is a filing convention rather than a conflict: the subdivisions are Carriage Hill, in eight filings, plus Carriage Hill West. Twenty-three distinct plats lie wholly inside. Twenty of them carry a recorded lot count and those sum to 1,400 lots; the other three are block plats, which record a block rather than numbered lots. The oldest three were recorded in 1961 — Huntington Park with 176 lots on 19 January, then the two Sheehan Addition block plats, then Centennial Park's 160 lots on 11 September. Carriage Hill follows: 192 lots on 23 November 1962, 158 more in October 1963, 119 in April 1964, a block plat and a twenty-one-lot resubdivision in July 1965, 92 lots that December, eight in January 1966 and 71 in August 1967, with Carriage Hill West adding 49 in January 1969. Sahuaro Vista's 21 lots follow in 1972. Then the attached housing arrives: Sundown Townhomes in 1980, Belcorte's 79 lots in April 1982, Rincon Village's 96 in August 1983, and Summertree Condominiums that November, whose plat names units 1 through 224 in its own title and leaves the count field at one. Tucson Market Place is filed in 1989. Three later filings finish the ground — Robb Ranch's 38 lots in August 2000, Plaza Bonita in August 2002, whose title names lots 1 through 43 while the county's own count field reads 52, and Robb Hill's 53 lots on 7 December 2015. Robb Wash runs north to south through the middle of the square mile, entering at Broadway and leaving past Speedway roughly halfway across it, and the county's flood-control layer carries it in its over-2,000-cubic-feet-per-second class. It is banked in soil cement for most of its length inside the boundary with one reach of roughly a thousand feet, behind the middle school, left in natural earthen banks. The plats and the streets on the eastern side of the wash are named for it — Robb Ranch, Robb Hill, North Robb Hill Place, East Jane Robb Place — though no source consulted for this page says who the wash was named for, so this page records the co-location and stops. The two Tucson Unified campuses inside the boundary hold about 56 acres of it between them. Sahuaro High School sits on a 37.4-acre district parcel at 545 North Camino Seco on the eastern edge, and Magee Middle School on an 18.8-acre parcel at 8300 East Speedway Boulevard on the northern one; the federal Common Core of Data directory gives Sahuaro as eighth through twelfth grade and Magee as sixth through eighth, and LiveBy returns the same two spans, while Pima County's school layer reads 9-12 and 6-8 instead. Two records of three agree and the federal directory is the one to go by, which is the same reading the last pass reached on a different set of campuses. Three charter campuses are also inside the boundary — a prekindergarten-through-fifth and a ninth-through-twelfth on Broadway Boulevard and a kindergarten-through-twelfth on Pantano Road. Assignment is uniform at the middle and high school level and split at the elementary. Point queries on Pima County's attendance-area layer at twenty-five interior points return Magee Middle at all twenty-five and Sahuaro High at all twenty-five, and LiveBy returns the same two as assigned. The elementary line runs north to south through the middle of the square mile, close to North Sarnoff Drive: fifteen of the twenty-five points return Anna Henry Elementary, at 650 North Igo Way east of the boundary, and ten return Bloom Elementary, at 8310 East Pima Street north of it, and both records name the same two. The federal directory gives both as prekindergarten through sixth grade where the county layer reads K-5 and PK-5. There is a third district parcel, and it is worth naming because the county's own two layers disagree about it. Tucson Unified owns 9.5 acres at 501 North Maguire Avenue, zoned and coded exactly as the two operating campuses are, and Pima County's points-of-interest layer still labels it Schumaker Elementary School — but the county's schools layer does not list it, LiveBy does not return it as assigned, and it does not appear in the federal directory's current edition. Tucson Unified's own website returned a server error to every request made while this page was written, so the current use of that building is the one thing here that could not be confirmed from a record; confirm it with the district rather than from this page. Zoning follows the housing. The 1,679 parcels run to 471 acres at a 0.184-acre median, and R-1 is the dominant district at 1,083 parcels over 216 acres with a 0.192-acre median lot, which is the 1960s tract. R-3 carries 257 parcels on 57 acres and C-1 carries 195 on 76, and the median parcel in both is a fraction of an acre because most of them are individual condominium units rather than sites. Six parcels are zoned RX-1 and hold 75 acres between them, three of those being the district parcels above. Seven parcels are zoned O-3 over 25 acres, three carry the open-space district, and four are C-2 along Broadway Boulevard. The commercial frontage is on the two long arterials and on the two corners, and the interior is residential throughout. Homeowner association status depends on which part of the square mile a house is in, and the county parcel record is what settles it. Seven separately incorporated associations hold mapped common ground here, all of them in the subdivisions recorded from 1980 onward: Summertree with two parcels over 10.3 acres, Rincon Village with one over 5.7, Robb Hill with one over 1.8, Plaza Bonita with one over 1.2, Belcorte with one over 1.1, Robb Ranch with six small parcels totalling half an acre, and Sundown Townhomes with two smaller still. The 1961-to-1972 tracts — Huntington Park, Centennial Park, the Carriage Hill filings, Sahuaro Vista — hold no common-area parcel under any association name at all. The City of Tucson holds six open-space parcels totalling 5.5 acres, one of them fronting Speedway Boulevard. No dues figure is published here, because the closed record does not aggregate one; ask for the specific subdivision's disclosure rather than assuming the block's. The last 157 closings are the whole three-year record over this boundary rather than a sample, and they split three ways: 94 detached houses, 53 condominiums and 10 townhouses, reconciling to the dollar against the unfiltered total. At 59.9 percent detached this is one of the two least single-family records any place page here publishes, and the consequence is worth being plain about — the blended figures describe no actual kind of home on this square mile, so what follows is the three tiers first. The 94 detached houses closed at a $355,000 median and a $363,958 average, run 953 to 3,006 square feet with a 1,869.5-square-foot median, were built to a median year of 1966.5 across a 1949-to-2018 range, traded at a $199.54 median price per square foot on a median 21.5 days on market and a sale-to-list ratio of 0.99. The 53 condominiums closed at a $190,000 median and a $185,158 average, 660 to 1,247 square feet with a 995-square-foot median, built between 1983 and 1994 to a 1984 median, $186.26 a square foot, a median 41 days on market and a 0.96 sale-to-list ratio. The 10 townhouses sit between them: a $292,000 median at 1,417 square feet, built 1982 to 2004, $201.88 a square foot and the fastest of the three at a median 16 days. Blended, the 157 closed at a $305,000 median and a $299,136 average — the median the higher of the two, which is the opposite of the usual shape and is the condominium floor pulling the mean down — on a 1972 median year built, a 1,540-square-foot median, a $194.52 median price per square foot, a median 28 days on market against 30.5 cumulative, and a 0.98 sale-to-list ratio; 33 of the 157 closed above asking and 61 took a price reduction. Sorted by price, this record does something none of the others here does: it runs backwards on age. Taking the closings in six price bands, the band under $200,000 has a median year built of 1984 at 995 square feet; $200,000 to $250,000 a 1984 at 1,072.5; $250,000 to $300,000 a 1967 at 1,523; $300,000 to $350,000 a 1967 at 1,580; $350,000 to $400,000 a 1965 at 1,922.5; and everything above $400,000 a 1970 at 2,207. Floor area rises at every step while the median year built falls across the first five bands and turns up only in the sixth, because the cheap end of this square mile is its 1980s attached housing and the dear end is its 1960s houses on fifth-acre lots — with a thin newer top above them, since the six closings that cleared $500,000 have a median year built of 2017.5 and are the 2015 Robb Hill filing. Price per square foot, meanwhile, barely moves: $175.54 in the cheapest band to $204.92 in the middle of the range, a $29.38 spread that changes direction four times and points nowhere. The $150,000 to $500,000 band this page publishes covers 147 of the 157 closings; four came in beneath it, between $130,000 and $145,000, and six cleared it, between $520,000 and $600,000. What is immediately outside the boundary matters here, because none of it is inside. Jesse Owens Park, which the City of Tucson gives as 38.1 acres at 400 South Sarnoff Drive — the same street the elementary attendance line follows through this square mile, a mile north of the park — begins about 0.22 miles south across Broadway Boulevard. Pantano River Park, the Pima County corridor along the Pantano Wash and one of the four river parks Pima County says its Chuck Huckelberry Loop connects, comes within about 0.26 miles of the eastern edge, and the nearest Loop points are two Broadway Boulevard access points about 0.29 miles out and the Centrepark trailhead about 0.31 miles out with eighteen parking spaces and two accessible ones. Morris K. Udall Park, which the City gives as 158.7 acres at 7290 East Tanque Verde Road, begins about 0.71 miles north-west. Palo Verde Park is about 1.2 miles out and Case Natural Resource Park about 1.4. The whole of the square mile is in the City of Tucson — all 1,679 parcels lying wholly inside read Tucson on the county's jurisdiction field, with no exception — and all twenty-five interior grid points return council Ward 2, so this polygon is not ward-split. All 1,357 official county address points inside it read ZIP 85710 and city Tucson, unanimously, across forty street names. For getting about, measured from the nearest boundary edge: Park Place Mall is about 2.4 miles west along Broadway, Pima Community College's East Campus about 3.9 miles south, the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base mapped boundary about 4.8, El Con Mall about 5.4, the nearest Interstate 10 ramp about 6.5, the University of Arizona about 7.0, Tucson City Hall about 8.8, Tucson Mall about 9.5 and Tucson International Airport about 9.8. The square mile immediately south across Broadway Boulevard, between Broadway and 22nd Street on the same two north-south arterials, is this site's Broadway Pantano East page, and the two boundaries share that edge exactly.
