About Longview Estates

Longview Estates is one subdivision on Tucson's east side, the quarter-square-mile of 1961 houses between Kolb Road, 22nd Street, Prudence Road and Kenyon Drive, built once, and the useful thing to know about it is that the usual ways of explaining a price difference do not work here. Over the three years to October 2026 there were 49 Residential closings inside this boundary, and all 49 were single-family detached houses — not one townhouse and not one condominium. They closed between $171,000 and $384,900, around a median of $300,000 and an average of $295,802. Sorted into price bands, the houses are the same age all the way up: the median year built is 1961 in the band under $250,000, 1961 in the $250,000-to-$300,000 band, 1961 in the $300,000-to-$350,000 band and 1961 in the $350,000-to-$400,000 band. Size does not sort them much better. The six closings under $250,000 had a median of 1,376 square feet, only 34 square feet less than the eighteen in the next band up, yet closed at a median $208,000 against $277,450. And the two top bands hold houses of almost exactly the same size — a median of 1,610 square feet in the $300,000s and 1,597 above $350,000 — $65,500 apart in median price. So median price per square foot moves on its own: $152.50 in the bottom band, $203.51 in the next, $192.99 in the next and $241.01 at the top. On this ground the price per square foot is the variable rather than the result, and whatever separates one of these houses from the next — condition, updating, the particular lot — is not something an aggregate can show. Two houses of the same age and size here can be tens of thousands of dollars apart, and a valuation has to be built from the individual comparable sales rather than from a neighborhood average. The way the record traded is just as uneven. Eleven of the 49 closed above their asking price, while 24 — almost exactly half — took at least one price reduction before they sold, and the six cheapest went under contract fastest of all, at a median of six and a half days on market against 41 for the whole record. The full record, for completeness: year built 1952 to 1973 to a median of 1961, living area 1,028 to 2,224 square feet to a median of 1,508, a median $188.85 per square foot across a $130.87 to $262.65 range, list prices $175,000 to $400,000 to a $300,000 median and original list prices to a $310,000 median, a median 41 days on market against 49 cumulative, 43 days from listing to contract and 52 to close, and a 0.98 sale-to-list ratio. Days to contract and to close rest on 47 of the 49 records; every price, size and year figure rests on all 49. One record's 1952 year built is nine years older than the subdivision's first plat and is best read as a data-entry question rather than a pre-war house. The range printed at the top of this page holds 43 of the 49 closings; six closed below $250,000 and none above $400,000. These are closed sales, not homes currently for sale. The reason the houses are so alike is in the plat record. Pima County records five plats over this ground, every one of them named Longview Estates and every one lying wholly inside the boundary: lots 1 to 56 recorded on 9 February 1961, lots 57 to 107 and 108 to 193 on 23 February 1961, lots 194 to 470 on 12 July 1961, and lots 471 to 473 on 18 September 1962 — 473 lots in nineteen months, and nothing platted here since. All but one of the county's 481 parcels inside the line carries a Longview Estates legal description, 451 carry a single-family residential use code, and the house lots run to a median of about 0.19 of an acre. The City of Tucson's R-1 residence zone covers 467 of the 481 parcels and 68 of 81 interior sample points. The exceptions are the last plat's three large lots along 22nd Street, where the county records C-2, C-1 and O-3 zoning — ground zoned for commercial and office use rather than houses. The edges are four streets, and each checks against Pima County's own centrelines to within about three metres: Kolb Road on the west, 22nd Street on the south, Prudence Road on the east and Kenyon Drive on the north. Inside them is 163 acres, about a quarter of a square mile. Every one of the 512 official address points inside the line is in ZIP code 85710. The ground was platted as county land and taken into the City afterwards: annexation ordinance 2724, effective 3 March 1965, covers all 81 interior sample points, four years after the first lots were recorded, with no deannexation. Every parcel now carries the county's TUCSON jurisdiction code and the City's ward layer returns Ward 2 at every sample point. There is no City-registered neighborhood association anywhere inside the line — the City's register returns none at any of the 81 points — though the Palo Verde Park association reaches the north edge and the Dietz association the south, and both of those places have their own pages here. Homeowners associations are a separate question, and the public record cannot answer it: Pima County publishes no register of homeowners associations, so whether any recorded declaration or deed restriction runs with a particular lot is answered by the title work and by nothing on this page. Read the title commitment and any resale disclosure before writing an offer. The City of Tucson holds four small wellsite parcels inside the subdivision, recorded in its property inventory as acquired from Metropolitan Water in 1969; it lists two as wellsite D-041 and two as not in use. FEMA's flood map returns Zone X at all 81 interior sample points, and Zone X is the only flood zone that touches the boundary. A sample point is not a flood determination for any particular house. Pima County's Davis-Monthan Air Force Base vicinity layer covers the whole boundary, at all 81 sample points, while the base's noise control districts, its Air Installation Compatible Use Zones and the county's avigation easement and disclosure areas reach none of it. Arizona Revised Statutes section 28-8484 requires a seller of residential real estate to give the buyer a written disclosure before title transfers when the property is in territory in the vicinity of a military airport as delineated on the State Land Department's map, so that map, not the county layer, is what decides it for a particular house. There is no park inside the line. Measured from the middle of the boundary to the nearest edge, Stefan Gollob Park is about four-tenths of a mile away, Palo Verde Park about half a mile and the Pantano River Park a little over half a mile. Schools are Tucson Unified throughout, and the assignment is the same at every one of the 81 sample points: Booth-Fickett Math/Science Magnet School at 450 South Montego Drive, about a third of a mile from the middle of the boundary, and Palo Verde High Magnet School at 1302 South Avenida Vega, a little over half a mile. LiveBy's assignment query returns the same two schools and marks both assigned. No grade range is stated here, because the county and LiveBy record each school's grades differently, and assignments are drawn by address and change, so confirm a specific address with the district. Measured from the middle of the boundary, the Rincon post office is about 0.8 of a mile away, Tucson Fire Department Station 9 on Wilmot Road 1.3 miles, St Joseph's Hospital 1.5, the Rolling Hills golf course 1.6 and the Murphy-Wilmot library 1.7. Miramonte Terrace, which has its own page here, is the next tract west across Kolb Road.
