About South Harrison

South Harrison is a 1970s tract neighborhood on Tucson's far east side that never stopped building: its first plat was recorded in November 1968, its newest in November 2022, and 35 of the last 257 closings here were houses finished in 2024 and 2025. Two segments of the Chuck Huckelberry Loop run inside it. It covers about 1,137 acres inside the city limits in ZIP 85730, all of it in council Ward 4, bounded by Golf Links Road on the north, Escalante Road on the south and Houghton Road on the east — Houghton is also the city limit, so the ground immediately across it is unincorporated Pima County. The north-west side is not a street at all but the Pantano Wash, which Pima County maps in its over-10,000-cubic-feet-per-second flow class, running in soil cement and natural earth along this stretch. Harrison Road, which the neighborhood is named for, runs through the middle rather than along a side, and the boundary dips south of Escalante beside it. The ground was laid out by tract builders rather than split parcel by parcel: thirty-nine recorded plats lie wholly inside carrying 2,632 lots over 793 of the 1,137 acres, opening with Hearthstone Hills on 7 November 1968 at 148 lots and running through Harrison Hills in July 1972, the largest single plat here at 258 lots on 78 acres. The Hearthstone name alone accounts for 857 of those lots across eleven recordings between 1968 and 2002, though Hearthstone Hills No. 2 is not one of them — that 1971 plat lies wholly outside the boundary, so a numbered series that reads as contiguous is not. The newest residential plat inside the boundary, Casas del Cerrito, was recorded on 23 November 2022 for 49 lots, and 32 of the last 35 closings of 2020s-built houses stand inside it on East Gray Hawk Drive. The last 257 closings are the whole record here rather than a sample, and 247 of them are detached single-family houses against ten townhouses and no condominiums at all. Those 247 were built to a median year of 1983 across a 1961-to-2025 range, with living areas from 800 to 2,465 square feet and a 1,639-square-foot median, three or four bedrooms on 236 of them, and a two-car garage on 147 of the 166 records that report the field at all — garage-era stock rather than carport-era. By decade the record is genuinely two-peaked: 115 of the closings are 1970s houses at a $324,500 median, 41 are 1980s at $305,000, 28 are 1990s at $349,450, 22 are 2000s at $339,000 and 35 are 2020s at $372,900, so price per square foot slides from about $197 in the 1970s to $183 in the 2000s as floor areas grow, then climbs back to about $219 on the newest houses, which are smaller than the ones before them. Lot size comes from Pima County rather than from the MLS, whose acreage field is unusable on this boundary: the county records 2,711 parcels inside at a median of 0.189 acre, 1,906 of them zoned R-1 and 462 R-2, with O-3, C-1, SR, RX-1, RX-2 and C-2 accounting for the rest. Joining every closing to the parcel underneath it — a match good to about a metre and a half — sorts the market into four tiers: two closings on nearly one-acre RX-1 ground at a $467,000 median, four on two-thirds-acre RX-2 at $423,700, 200 on fifth-acre R-1 at $325,000 and sixteen on 0.053-acre O-3 at $247,450, which is where all ten townhouses sit. The 36 closings on smaller R-2 lots run a higher $339,000 median than the R-1 tier, and that is an era effect rather than a density one: R-2 here was built between 1985 and 2000 against R-1's 1961 to 2025. Most of the neighborhood carries no association at all — 219 of 263 closed records name none — and the 44 that do name a subdivision's rather than the neighborhood's, among them Austin Point, Falcon Point, Ridgeland Park, Rivendell, Mesquites on Pantano, Desert Oasis and Rancho Santa Fe, which follows from ground platted in thirty-nine pieces over fifty-four years. No dues figure is published because the field contradicts itself: the same association appears in the record at both $16 and $375 a month, so dues are a question for the specific parcel, and a blank fee field is not itself proof that no association governs one. The strongest amenity here is the path system. Two named segments of the Chuck Huckelberry Loop — Pima County's network of paved shared-use paths, more than 138 miles of it built — run inside the boundary: about 1.7 miles of the Pantano River Park path along the wash and about 0.4 mile of the Harrison Road Greenway, with roughly three-quarters of a mile of parallel soft-surface path beside them and a further two-thirds of a mile mapped as planned rather than open. Michael Perry Park, 7.6 acres at 2755 South Pantano Parkway, sits wholly inside and connects to that path; the City of Tucson's own record lists a basketball court, a Little League baseball field, a playground, a ramada, picnic tables, grills, a drinking fountain, a restroom and a Children's Memorial Garden. The Miller-Golf Links branch of the Pima County Public Library and the Tucson Police Department's Erik D. Hite Eastside Substation share the Golf Links Municipal Complex inside the boundary, the library at 9640 East Golf Links Road and the substation at 9670, just east of Harrison Road. Chuck Ford Lakeside Park is about four-tenths of a mile away and the 419-acre Lincoln Regional Park a little over half a mile. Measured from the nearest boundary edge, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is about nine-tenths of a mile, Kolb Road about 1.8 miles, Park Place about 3.7, Interstate 10 about 5.6 and Tucson International Airport about nine. Homes are in the Tucson Unified School District, with Secrist Middle School standing inside the boundary on South Houghton Road and Santa Rita High School assigned; the elementary assignment splits across the neighborhood between Dunham, Marshall and Ford, which both LiveBy and Pima County's own attendance-area layer confirm, so elementary attendance in particular is worth checking by address. Leman Academy of Excellence East, a charter school, also stands inside the boundary on Golf Links Road. The $250,000 to $400,000 band this page publishes covers 213 of the 257 closings: twenty came in beneath it, the lowest at $170,000, and 24 cleared it, the highest at $484,000. The average closed price is near $330,000 and the median $326,900, and the two sit within $3,600 of each other because this is one broad tier of houses rather than two markets inside one polygon.
