About Santa Rita Park

Santa Rita Park is a central Tucson neighborhood of houses and small multi-unit buildings of about 160 acres just south of downtown, bounded by East 19th Street on the north, South Sixth Avenue on the west and East 26th Street on the south, with an industrial strip along the Union Pacific railroad on its east side. Its homes stand on early plats: the South Park Addition, which Pima County's plat layer dates to 1904 and which shares its name with the South Park neighborhood to the east, a 1904 resubdivision of City of Tucson blocks, Chattman's Addition of 1905, and block resubdivisions of 1906 and 1918. The City's Santa Rita Park is inside it. The county roll carries 235 single-family parcels inside at a median of about 0.17 acre, mostly zoned R-2 and R-3, and 67 multi-unit parcels, beside industrial and commercial parcels along the east side and the arterials. The City's registered Barrio Santa Rita Park-West Ochoa neighborhood association covers all of it that is in the City of Tucson, which is split between Ward 5 in the north and Ward 1 in the south; the county's annexation layer places most of it inside Tucson's original 1877 limits or a 1905 annexation. A strip along the south edge, about 13 house and multi-unit lots, is in the City of South Tucson, a separate incorporated city, and outside the association; the figures below are LiveBy's for the whole boundary, and one of the 20 closings falls in that strip. Armory Park to the north and South Park to the east have their own pages here. The 20 Residential closings over the three years to October 2026, all houses, closed around a median of about $282,500 and about $234 a square foot, on a median of about 1,250 square feet; the average was about $321,100. Seventeen of the 20 closed between $200,000 and $400,000. The median listing went under contract in 48 days and the record closed at the list price overall; five sold above their asking price and nine took at least one price reduction. Six residential income closings over the same three years, one of them a property also listed and counted as one of the 20 house sales, are otherwise not part of these figures. These are closed sales, not homes currently for sale, and with 20 of them they are a reading of this record rather than a rule. On the FEMA flood map every point tested is in Zone X, and Pima County regulates the 18th Street Wash and several small washes where they cross the boundary; a zone can still cross part of a lot, so confirm it for a specific address. The whole boundary lies inside the Tucson Airport Authority's avigation and disclosure area, and Pima County's Davis-Monthan Air Force Base vicinity layer covers part of it; Arizona Revised Statutes section 28-8484 requires a seller of residential property in that territory to give the buyer a written disclosure. LiveBy's assigned schools are Tucson Unified's Borton Primary Magnet, Safford K-8 and Tucson Magnet High; Pima County's attendance layer gives Safford K-8 and Tucson High Magnet at every point tested and adds Borton across part of the boundary. Tucson Unified's governing board is scheduled to vote on school closures and consolidations on December 8, 2026, and no list of schools had been published as of October 2026, so confirm a specific address with the district. Of the 498 official address points inside, 299 carry ZIP code 85713 and 199 carry 85701.
