About Elvira

Elvira is a far south side Tucson neighborhood of about 999 acres in ZIP 85756, bounded by Valencia Road on the north, South Nogales Highway on the east, Los Reales Road on the south and Interstate 19 on the west, with the Exit 95 interchange at its north-west corner. Pima County records 50 subdivision plats wholly inside it, from Valencia in 1923 through the Mission Manor and Rita Manor tracts of the 1950s, a second wave between 1970 and 1973, and new plats as recently as 2025, so a 1950s block house can stand down the street from a new build. Of the 2,450 parcels wholly inside, Pima County records 1,680 as R-1 and 632 as R-2, with commercial, office and industrial parcels along the Valencia Road and Nogales Highway frontages. The City of Tucson registers two neighborhood associations over this ground, both in Ward 1: Elvira over roughly the western third and Barrio Nopal over the eastern two-thirds, so a house marketed as Elvira may be in either. Neither is a homeowners association. Four homeowners associations on subdivisions platted between 2002 and 2006 hold common-area parcels; the older tracts show none in the county parcel record, which does not prove that none governs them, so read the title report and any recorded CC&Rs for a specific house. All of it is in the City of Tucson under a 1960 annexation ordinance, in Ward 1. Sunnyside across Valencia Road and Midvale Park across Interstate 19 have their own pages here, as does Rancho Valencia, which is also assigned to Desert View High. All 95 Residential closings over the three years to September 2026 were detached houses. They closed at a $260,900 median and about $194 a square foot on a median of 1,312 square feet, built to a 1971 median; the average was about $256,800. Eighty-nine of the 95 closed between $175,000 and $325,000. The median listing went under contract in 36 days, among the 92 records that carry the figure, and the record closed at 99 cents on the list dollar; 38 sold above their asking price and 26 took at least one price reduction. Two residential income closings over the same three years are not part of these figures. These are closed sales, not homes currently for sale, and a reading of this record rather than a rule. On the FEMA flood map 1 of the 113 interior sample points and 10 of the 2,141 house and multi-unit parcel centre points tested are in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area with a base flood elevation, where a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance; the rest are in Zone X. Hughes, El Vado, Valencia and Santa Clara Washes cross the ground with Pima County regulated setbacks, so confirm the flood zone and any setback for a specific address. Tucson International Airport lies just east of Nogales Highway, and the whole boundary is inside the Tucson Airport Authority's avigation easement and disclosure area; whether an easement is recorded against a particular parcel is a title question. The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base vicinity, where A.R.S. §28-8484 requires a written military-airport seller disclosure, reaches no part of it. Airport noise and height overlays touch the north-east edge, so check the City of Tucson's Airport Environs Zone maps for a specific address. Barrio Nopal Park, 5.72 acres with a shaded playground, ramadas, restrooms and a splash pad open April to October, is the one public park inside. Homes are in the Sunnyside Unified School District. LiveBy and Pima County's attendance areas both split the elementary assignment, Santa Clara Elementary in the west and Elvira Elementary in the centre and east, with Desert View High throughout; the county's layer also assigns Challenger Middle. Assignments are drawn by address and they change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the district.
