About Peter Howell
An established midtown Tucson neighborhood about four miles east of downtown, Peter Howell fills the roughly half-square-mile grid bounded by Speedway Boulevard on the north, Broadway Boulevard on the south, Alvernon Way on the west, and Columbus Boulevard on the east (ZIP 85711). The neighborhood takes its name from Peter Howell Elementary School, built in 1952, and was built out largely between 1940 and 1969 — an unusually intact stretch of post-war Ranch architecture, with single-story red-brick ranch homes on generous lots the predominant style, set along mature tree-lined streets. The volunteer Peter Howell Neighborhood Association, organized in 1991, handles planning and advocacy, and there is no fee HOA. Within the neighborhood, the three-acre Alvernon Park offers basketball and sand-volleyball courts and a playground, while the 131-acre Reid Park and the Reid Park Zoo sit just to the south and El Con Center anchors nearby shopping and dining.
