About Hedrick Acres

Hedrick Acres is a half-section of central Tucson inside the city limits in ZIP 85719, a mile wide and half a mile deep between Fort Lowell Road, Glenn Street, Campbell Avenue and First Avenue, where the last three years of home sales ran from $62,000 to $777,000. The City of Tucson's own registered boundary is the same rectangle — 321 acres against 320 for a half-section, all of it in Ward 3 — and the neighborhood association's bylaws name the same four streets. Of the last 135 closings, 69 were detached houses, 63 were condominiums and 3 were townhouses, and the three barely overlap: the detached houses closed at a $348,000 median and the condominiums at $119,000. The detached tier is two eras rather than one. Forty of the 69 were built before 2007, 30 of them between 1938 and 1960, and closed at a $316,250 median, running a median 1,268 square feet on lots of 0.08 to 0.63 acre with a 0.19-acre median. The other 29 were built from 2007 on, 26 of them between 2014 and 2019, and closed at a $380,000 median, running a median 1,624 square feet on lots of 0.04 to 0.29 acre with a 0.07-acre median. The newer houses are larger on lots less than half the size, and the price bands climb from a 1953 median year built at the bottom to 2015 near the top: price here sorts by decade rather than by floor area. Independent agents describe the older stock in consistent terms — wire-cut red brick and painted block, long low rooflines, exposed beams and tongue-and-groove ceilings, original oak floors, coved plaster ceilings, covered porches, detached carports, enclosed Arizona rooms and block-walled gardens — with a burnt-adobe house on Tyndall Avenue and a straw-bale second unit on Hedrick Drive among them. Six of the 40 older closings record a guest house or casita, which the City's R-2 zoning across the residential interior permits. The condominium tier is two complexes and nothing else. Casa Club, at 1810 East Blacklidge Drive, accounts for 40 closings, all of them in buildings dated 1984, running 370 to 858 square feet with a 639-square-foot median and closing between $62,000 and $145,000 under monthly association fees recorded from $213 to $351. Copper Star, at 1745 East Glenn Street, accounts for 23, 22 of them dated 1986, running 508 to 700 square feet and closing between $122,000 and $172,500 under monthly fees recorded from $125 to $500. Both were platted as condominiums in 2006, two decades after the buildings went up. The three townhouses are 1982 to 1988 houses on Glenn Street that closed between $157,500 and $205,000. On the detached side, 39 of the 40 closings built before 2007 carry no association name, no fee and no fee frequency, while 16 of the 29 built from 2007 record one — $48 to $50 a quarter in Miramonte at Glenn and $58 a month in Park Modern. Pima County's recorded plats show how the ground came to hold all of that: 35 of them sit wholly inside the half-section, every one filed under City of Tucson jurisdiction. Hedrick Acreage No. 2 recorded 56 lots on February 5, 1922 and Hedrick Acreage Tract No. 3 another 52 on February 7, 1927; Catalina Poultry Acres came in four numbered plats between April 1930 and December 1944 for 152 lots more, and Garden Homes Annex added 54 in January 1936. That is 314 lots recorded between 1922 and 1944, and the poultry-acreage name is the county's, not a nickname. Nothing of that scale followed for nearly forty years — a run of small condominium and townhouse plats between 1981 and 1996, then Casa Club's 190 units in May 2006 and Copper Star's 86 in August 2006, then the two infill subdivisions that produced the newer detached closings: Miramonte at Glenn, 34 lots recorded in December 2013, and Park Modern, 37 lots in November 2015 and 54 more in May 2017. The neighborhood association is not a homeowners association and has no dues. It registered with the City of Tucson on May 22, 1998 and is listed as active; its bylaws were adopted that June and amended in 2004 and 2011, its membership is residents, property owners and businesses, and it runs on consensus under two co-chairs, two co-secretaries and two co-treasurers serving one-year terms. Two routes in the City of Tucson's bicycle-boulevard network cross the neighborhood, one east and west along Blacklidge Drive through the middle of it and one north and south along Cherry Avenue. No City park stands inside the boundary; the nearest are Conner Park about eight-tenths of a mile east on Glenn Street and Keeling Desert Park about a mile west on the same street. Measured straight-line from the centre of the neighborhood, Banner University Medical Center is about 1.4 miles south, the University of Arizona campus about 2 miles south, the Rillito River path about 2 miles north, Tucson Mall about 2.4 miles north-west and downtown about 2.9 miles south-west. Homes are in the Amphitheater Unified School District rather than Tucson Unified — the City's own neighborhood registry records the same district independently — and the boundary is split between two elementary attendance areas: Helen Keeling Elementary and Frances Owen Holaway Elementary, with Amphitheater Middle and Amphitheater High above them. All four schools stand outside the neighborhood, and a boundary split between two elementary areas is the strongest possible reason to confirm assignment by specific address. The $100,000 to $500,000 band this page publishes covers 112 of the 135 closings: 19 closed under $100,000, every one of them a 1984 condominium, and 4 cleared $500,000, the highest at $777,000. The average closed price is near $242,000 against a $205,000 median, and neither figure describes a house on its own — the average is dragged down by small condominiums and the median sits in the trough between the two tiers.
