About Desert Palms Park

Desert Palms Park is an east-side Tucson neighborhood of detached houses of about 60 acres, with East Wrightstown Road along its north edge. Almost all of it is the Desert Palms Park plat, which Pima County's plat layer dates to January 1961, and a few lots of the 1971 Hidden Hills East plat lie at its edge. The county roll carries 183 single-family parcels inside at a median of about 0.23 acre, every parcel zoned R-1. The City's registered Desert Palms Park neighborhood association covers almost exactly the same ground, and it is in Ward 2. The county's annexation layer places it under City of Tucson ordinances of 1972. Windsor Park, a separate subdivision, lies to the west. The 18 Residential closings over the three years to October 2026 were all detached houses, built to a median year of about 1970, and they closed around a median of $414,000 and about $203 a square foot, on a median of about 2,130 square feet; the average was about $418,200. Sixteen of the 18 closed between $300,000 and $525,000. The median listing went under contract in about 37 days and the record closed at 97 cents on the list dollar; one sold above its asking price, seven took at least one price reduction, and no residential income property closed inside the boundary. These are closed sales, not homes currently for sale, and with 18 of them they are a reading of this record rather than a rule. On the FEMA flood map three of the 183 home parcel centre points are in Zone AE and the rest in Zone X, and Pima County maps bank protection and a 50-foot regulated setback on the Hidden Hills Wash through the boundary, so confirm the zone for a specific address. No airport overlay reaches the boundary. LiveBy's assigned schools are Tucson Unified's Henry Elementary, Magee Middle and Sahuaro High, and Pima County's attendance layer gives the same three at every point tested; Tucson Unified's governing board is scheduled to vote on school closures and consolidations on December 8, 2026, and no list of schools had been published as of October 2026, so confirm a specific address with the district. Every one of the 185 official address points inside carries ZIP code 85715.
