About La Madera

La Madera is a quarter of a square mile of north-central Tucson between Tucson Boulevard and Country Club Road, from Glenn Street north to Fort Lowell Road, and most of it was platted within three months of 1946: the La Madera Addition, 226 lots recorded in September, and Miramonte, 110 lots recorded in December. (That Miramonte plat is not the Miramonte neighborhood that has its own page here, which lies south of Speedway Boulevard.) Smaller plats filled in around them through 1980, among them the Blacklidge Addition in 1952, Terrell Terrace in 1958, and three small plats between 1974 and 1977. Of the 44 closings recorded inside this boundary over the three years to October 2026, 37 were detached houses, four condominiums and three townhouses. The houses were built between 1925 and 2007 to a median year of 1950, and closed between $220,000 and $618,000 around a median of $383,000, for a median of about 1,470 square feet and $244.26 per square foot. The four condominiums, all built in 1970, closed between $130,000 and $215,000, and the three townhouses, built from 1979 to 1981, between $205,000 and $277,500. Across all 44 the median close was $336,000 and the average $353,653, so the whole-record figures sit between two different kinds of home and describe neither exactly. The houses split in a way size does not explain. Cut at $300,000, $400,000 and $500,000, the 11 houses that closed under $300,000 had a median of about 1,290 square feet, no smaller than the 10 between $300,000 and $400,000 at about 1,250, and were built in the same years, yet they closed at a median $211.01 per square foot against $270.04, spent a median 73.5 days on the market against 18.5, and 7 of the 11 took a price reduction. The record does not say why. Above $300,000 floor area carries the price: about 1,610 square feet at a $440,000 median between $400,000 and $500,000, and about 1,990 at a $535,000 median for the five over $500,000. So a neighborhood price per square foot is a poor guide to any one house here; a valuation works from closely matched sales. These are medians over small groups, not paired sales. The rest of the record: living area 814 to 2,838 square feet to a median of 1,293, a median $241.40 per square foot, list prices $135,000 to $609,000 to a $346,500 median, and a 0.98 sale-to-list ratio. Ten of the 44 closed above their asking price and 16 took at least one price reduction. Days on market rest on 41 of the 44 records, to a median of 25, and cumulative days on market on the same 41, to a median of 26; listing to contract rests on 43, to a median of 38 days, and listing to close on all 44, to a median of 45. The range printed at the top of this page holds 37 of the 44 closings; two condominiums closed below $200,000 and five houses at $520,000 or more. Four further closings over the same three years were recorded as residential income property and are not in these figures. These are closed sales, not homes currently for sale. The land record matches. Pima County counts 488 parcels wholly inside the line, every one carrying the county's TUCSON jurisdiction code; 226 carry a La Madera legal description, one for each platted lot, and 111 a Miramonte one. The median lot under a single-family residential use code is about 10,100 square feet, a little under a quarter of an acre. The City of Tucson's R-1 residence zone covers 320 of the 488 parcels and R-2 another 117, mostly along Blanton Drive, Blacklidge Drive, Glenn Street, Ann Eve Place and Presidio Road. Commercial zoning is confined to the edges: C-1 on 43 parcels along the Fort Lowell Road and Country Club Road frontages. Every edge checks against Pima County's own centrelines: Tucson Boulevard on the west, Glenn Street on the south, Country Club Road on the east and Fort Lowell Road on the north. Inside the line is about 160 acres, and all 547 official address points inside it are in ZIP code 85716. The whole boundary is inside the City of Tucson: annexation ordinance 1895, effective in April 1959, covers all 121 interior sample points, with no deannexation, and all 121 fall in Ward 3. The City-registered La Madera neighborhood association, registered in June 1982, is returned at all 121 points, and its mapped outline runs within about three metres of this boundary all the way round. A registered neighborhood association is a voluntary civic body and not a homeowners association. Pima County publishes no register of homeowners associations, so whether a recorded declaration runs with a particular lot, including the condominium and townhouse plats, is answered by the title work and by nothing on this page. Read the title commitment and any resale disclosure before writing an offer. FEMA's flood map returns Zone X at 112 of the 121 interior sample points and Zone AE, a special flood hazard area, at the other nine, all of them in a strip along the northern edge near Fort Lowell Road, east of the middle of the boundary. A sample point is not a flood determination for any particular house; a lender decides whether flood insurance is required from the specific parcel. None of Pima County's airport overlay layers reaches any of the 121 points. La Madera Park, a 5.8-acre City of Tucson park at 2700 East La Madera Drive, sits inside the boundary in its southern half, with a playground, a basketball court, a multi-purpose field, ramadas, grills, horseshoe pits and a restroom. Measured from the middle of the boundary, Cragin Elementary School at 2945 North Tucson Boulevard is about three-tenths of a mile away, just west across Tucson Boulevard; Banner–University Medical Center Tucson at 1501 North Campbell Avenue is about 1.7 miles; and Tucson Medical Center at 5301 East Grant Road is about three miles. Schools are Tucson Unified throughout. Pima County's attendance-area layer returns Cragin Elementary, Doolen Middle School at 2400 North Country Club Road and Catalina High School at 3645 East Pima Street at every sample point, and LiveBy's assignment query names the same three. Tucson Unified is weighing the closure or consolidation of up to ten schools, with a board vote scheduled for December 2026, and assignments are drawn by address and change, so confirm a specific address with the district.
