About Northern Heights

Northern Heights is a neighborhood of detached houses on small lots in the Town of Oro Valley, at the south-east corner of North Northern Avenue and Camino Cortaro, laid out in a single subdivision plat of that name that Pima County's plat layer dates to November 1999. The plat holds 65 lots, which the county roll carries at a median of about 0.11 acre, and three common areas totalling about 4.7 acres that the roll lists under the Northern Heights HOA; the plat covers most of the boundary, and the rest is unparcelled ground along the roads. The Town's zoning layer maps the house lots as R-4. The county's annexation layer places almost all of the ground under a 2003 Town of Oro Valley ordinance, so the plat was recorded, under a Pima County project number, before the Town took it in. Northern Avenue forms the west edge, with Rancho Feliz, a separate neighborhood, across it, and Camino Cortaro the north edge, with Fairhaven Village, another, across that. The 10 Residential closings over the three years to October 2026 were all detached houses, built to a median year of 2000, and they closed around a median of $384,000 and about $213 a square foot, on a median of 1,873 square feet; the average was about $382,100. Eight of the 10 closed between $300,000 and $400,000. With 10 sales that is a reading of this record rather than a rule. The median listing went under contract in about 30 days and the record closed at 99 cents on the list dollar; one sold above its asking price, five took at least one price reduction, and no residential income property closed inside the boundary. These are closed sales, not homes currently for sale. On the FEMA flood map every house lot's centre point is in Zone X, and no airport overlay reaches the boundary; a zone can still cross part of a lot, so confirm it for a specific address. LiveBy's assigned schools are Amphitheater Unified's Mesa Verde Elementary, Cross Middle and Canyon del Oro High, and Pima County's attendance layer returns the same three across the whole boundary. Every one of the 66 official address points inside carries ZIP code 85704.
