About Prince Tucson

Prince Tucson is a neighborhood of about 331 acres of 1970s and 1980s townhouse courts inside the Tucson city limits in ZIP 85716, wrapped on its north and east edges by the bend in the Rillito River the neighborhood association is named for and closed on the south by Prince Road. The City of Tucson's registered neighborhood association over most of that ground is the RillitoBend Neighborhood Association, and its bylaws say where the boundary's name comes from — the organization is "formerly known as the 'Tucson-Prince neighborhood'" — and then name the same edges, "the Rillito River to the north and east, Prince Road on the south, and Campbell Avenue on the west, except for the properties owned by the Arizona Board of Regents." The mapped boundary this page publishes stops about a quarter of a mile short of Campbell Avenue; everything else agrees. Townhouses are the market here rather than a corner of it. Of the last 113 closings, 69 were townhouses, 34 were detached houses and 10 were condominiums. The townhouses closed between $183,000 and $450,000 at a $330,000 median, running 934 to 1,887 square feet with a 1,390-square-foot median, and 65 of the 69 were built between 1973 and 1989. The detached houses closed between $347,000 and $1,850,000 at a $567,000 median, running 1,219 to 4,533 square feet, and span 1936 to 2020. The condominiums closed between $138,000 and $212,000 at a $169,000 median in 686 to 1,600 square feet, every one of them built between 1973 and 1987, and all but one of them stand on two addresses on North Country Club Road. Inside the detached tier the older houses are the dearer ones. Thirteen built before 1990 closed at a $615,000 median on lots with a 0.19-acre median; twenty-one built from 1990 on closed at $529,000 on 0.12 acre. The older houses are the larger-lotted ones, and the largest lots in the neighborhood — 0.93, 1.51 and 3.34 acres — carry houses from 1952, 1962 and later. Six of the 34 detached closings are older than every plat recorded wholly inside the boundary: the earliest is a 1936 house on North Country Club Road, and the earliest plat is Pima Park, 36 lots recorded on June 8, 1972. Everything after that is in Pima County's plat record. Twenty-seven plats sit wholly inside, 871 lots in all, every one filed under City of Tucson jurisdiction, from Pima Park in June 1972 to Las Cabanas in August 2019. Seven of them carry the Racquet Club name and account for 295 of the 871 lots, recorded across fourteen years: Racquet Club Condominium in February 1973, a single-unit addition in June 1979, two more Racquet Club Condominium plats on December 30, 1980, Racquet Club Village's 109 units in March 1983, and Tucson Racquet Club Townhomes in February and March 1987. Tucson Prince Townhouses recorded 85 lots in June 1974 and Winterhaven Village another 78 in September 1978 — that Winterhaven Village is a 1978 townhouse plat on the north side of Prince Road and is not the Winterhaven neighborhood south of it, which is a separate place with its own page here. The Racquet Club plats are named for something that is still there. The Tucson Racquet & Fitness Club stands inside the boundary at 4001 North Country Club Road, and its own site describes the facility as "14 acres by the river" with 25 tennis courts and 22 pickleball courts. The streets around it are named accordingly, and Pima County's street network is where to read them: Paseo de las Canchas, Corte de la Raqueta, Corte de Voleo, Circulo del Tenis and Racquet Court, alongside Borg, McEnroe and Sampras Lanes. Association terms follow the housing type rather than the neighborhood. Forty-nine of the 69 townhouse closings record a monthly association fee, from $50 to $400 with a $190 median, and 19 record none; 21 of the 34 detached closings record no association at all. The association names on the record are the individual plats — Winterhaven Village, Racquet Club Village, Tamarisk, Pima Park and 2601 East Prince Road among them. RillitoBend itself is a neighborhood association rather than a homeowners association: its bylaws, originally adopted on January 31, 1979 and amended in 2010, 2014 and 2020, make every resident within the boundaries a member, give each household a single vote where a vote of the membership is required, seat a board of up to fifteen directors on two-year terms, run decisions by consensus, and authorize the board to establish dues without setting an amount. Zoning is mixed rather than uniform, which is what a neighborhood of townhouse courts beside detached lots looks like in the record: of 1,172 parcels wholly inside, Pima County lists 391 as R-1, 375 as R-2 and 331 as R-3, with 46 O-3, 21 SR, 7 C-2 and one HLR-1, and every one of the 1,172 under City of Tucson jurisdiction. The median parcel is about a twentieth of an acre. Open space is the other half of the neighborhood. Rio Vista Natural Resource Park, a 35.5-acre City of Tucson park, lies wholly inside the boundary, and Pima County's Rillito River Park runs the north and east edges along the river; the county describes that path as running "from Interstate 10 (I-10) to Craycroft Road on the north and south banks of the Rillito River" and lists drinking water, equestrian access, exercise stations, multi-use paths and restrooms among its features. The county's own trail layer marks the segments here as part of its Loop network, hard- and soft-surfaced and 10 to 12 feet wide, and two of the county's quarter-mile markers stand inside the neighborhood. The Treat Avenue Bikeway runs north and south through the middle of it, from Prince Road toward the river, about six-tenths of a mile inside the boundary. The whole neighborhood is in Ward 3. Measured straight-line from the centre of the neighborhood, Banner University Medical Center is about 2.6 miles south, the University of Arizona campus about 3.3 miles south, Tucson Mall about 2.8 miles north-west, downtown about 4.5 miles south-west and Park Place about 5.5 miles south-east. Homes are in the Tucson Unified School District, and the boundary is split between two elementary attendance areas — Cragin Elementary and Davidson Elementary — with Doolen Middle and Catalina High above them; all four schools stand outside the neighborhood, and a boundary split between two elementary areas is a strong reason to confirm assignment by specific address. The $250,000 to $650,000 band this page publishes covers 88 of the 113 closings, and it divides the record rather than merely covering it: those 88 are 66 townhouses and 22 detached houses and not one condominium, the 13 that closed below are 10 condominiums and 3 townhouses built between 1973 and 1987, and all 12 that cleared $650,000 are detached houses, the highest at $1,850,000. The average closed price is near $404,000 against a $345,500 median, and the median is the more useful of the two here: it sits inside the townhouse tier that is six-tenths of the market, while the average is pulled up by a dozen large detached sales.
