About St. Cyrils

St. Cyrils is a half-mile-wide, one-mile-tall rectangle of midtown Tucson in ZIP 85712, bounded by Swan Road on the west, Grant Road on the north, Rosemont Boulevard on the east and Speedway Boulevard on the south, where the last three years carried 77 closings at a $297,000 median. Those four streets are also lines of the public land survey, because the rectangle is the west half of a section: Swan, Grant and Speedway are the section lines, Rosemont runs the section's own north–south centre line, and East Pima Street crosses the middle on the quarter line. That comes to 320 acres — 319.6 measured off the mapped outline — filling its bounding box to better than 99 per cent. The name is the one thing here that is not a line on a map. The City of Tucson registers no neighborhood association called St. Cyrils, and none of the six associations whose polygons touch this rectangle carries the name either. What stands at the middle of it is St. Cyril of Alexandria School, a private school at 4725 East Pima Street, and the boundary is named for that campus rather than for any organisation of residents. What the City register does show is two associations and a gap. The south half of the rectangle — Speedway up to Pima Street, Swan across to Rosemont — is the Pinecrest Neighborhood Association exactly. The City's polygon for it measures 159.2 acres against 160 for a quarter section, and it stands within about two metres of this boundary on every side. It registered in April 2024 and is listed as active in Ward 6. The north-east corner, about 40 acres below Grant Road, is Arcadia Rose, registered in September 2011. Sample the interior on an even 81-point grid and 36 of those points come back Pinecrest, ten Arcadia Rose and 35 with no registered association behind them at all. Read that as a block-by-block answer rather than a neighborhood-wide one. Four further associations touch the rectangle without covering a single interior point. One of them is a page on this site. The Garden District is the square mile immediately west across Swan Road, so its east edge and this boundary's west edge are the same street. The ground was platted over 104 years and is still being platted. Twenty-eight recorded subdivisions lie inside the line and only one of them, a 1935 resubdivision, crosses it. Speedway Addition No. 2 opened the record with 23 lots in April 1920, Cloverleaf Addition drew 135 in December 1934 and Cloverleaf Resubdivision 68 more a month later. The post-war decade did most of the rest. Seneca Park Addition and Seneca Park Addition No. 2 carried 18 lots each in 1947 and 1948, Warsaw Addition 24 and Sunnycrofts 16 in 1948, and two Pinecrest Addition filings 60 and 38 in 1951. Luthman-Rhodes followed with 31 in 1952, McCarthy with eight in 1956, Arcadia Park with 27 in 1957, Carlsdale with six in 1958 and Bahia Estates with 17 in 1959. Then the attached housing arrived on its own timetable: Casas Jamaica Townhouses with 25 lots in 1973, Belle-Capri with 18 in 1978, Cloverleaf Townhouses with 63 in 1981, Maggie's Arcadia Townhouses with four in 1982 and Mountain View Square with 48 in 1985. After that the filings come in ones and fours and eights, down to Savannah Court's two lots in July 2024. Those 28 plats carry 683 platted lots against the 862 parcels inside the line today. Every one of those parcels is City of Tucson, and the zoning is split in a way the street grid does not show. R-1 accounts for 507 of them and R-2 for 297, better than a third of the boundary, behind which come 26 R-3, 16 C-2, 11 C-1, four O-3 and one MH-1. The R-2 ground is not simply townhouse ground: every parcel the county returns inside four of the five townhouse plats is zoned R-2, but those account for 120 of the 297 and detached houses stand on the rest. Commercial and office parcels are gathered on the Speedway, Grant and Swan frontages, which is why a house a lot or two in from one of those streets can share a back wall with a parking lot. What sells inside the line is two kinds of house at nearly the same price per square foot. Those 77 closings run to September 2026, and they split 61 detached, 16 townhouse, no condominium. Take the detached tier on its own and its median house dates to 1954, on a record running 1921 to 2010, measures 1,383 square feet and closed at $310,000, which works out to $229.59 a square foot. The townhouse tier has a tighter build window than any other figure on this page — 1973 to 1984, no exceptions — and a 1,149-square-foot median that closed at $255,500, or $220.42 a square foot. Nine dollars a square foot separate the two tiers, so floor area rather than price per foot is most of what separates the prices. Blend them and the 77 span $173,000 to $490,000, with a $297,000 median, a $303,281 average and a $299,900 list median. Little of it sat: the median listing went under contract in 22.5 days, 26 counting relists, and settled at 99 cents on the list dollar, with 21 of the 77 closing over asking and 30 cutting the price before they sold. Those two days-on-market medians were computed on 74 of the 77 rather than on all of them, which is a field count below the total and not a different set of sales. Fifty-seven of the 77 land inside the $250,000-to-$400,000 band at the top of this page. Fifteen closed beneath it, two of those under $200,000, and five above it, the highest at $490,000. Neither tail runs long: the average sits about two per cent above the median, which is what one market of comparable houses produces rather than two markets averaged together. The watercourse to ask about is Arcadia Wash. The county's regional flood control record carries three reaches of it through the boundary, each banked in soil cement rather than left in earth. All three are rated above 2,000 cubic feet per second, which buys the named channel a regulated setback of 75 feet. Four narrower setbacks sit on smaller channels here, one of 50 feet in the 500-to-1,000 class and three of 25 feet under 500. Those setbacks are measured out from a mapped channel and not from a property line, which makes them a parcel-level question rather than a neighborhood-level one. The same wash runs on south-east through Highland Vista Cinco Via, which has its own page here. A statutory military airport disclosure reaches this ground, and a buyer is better off meeting it early than at signing. Davis-Monthan Air Force Base lies roughly four and three-quarter miles off to the south-east, and all 81 sample points sit inside the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base Vicinity layer the county publishes. Two sections of statute do the work. Arizona Revised Statutes section 28-8461 draws the territory around each named installation as a set of fixed distances off its runways, and Davis-Monthan's are five miles north-west along the line of the north-west runway, ten south-east, six and a half north-east at right angles to the runway centreline and a mile and a half south-west. Section 28-8484 then obliges the seller of a residential property inside that territory to hand the buyer a written disclosure ahead of the title transfer — and it fixes the territory to a State Land Department map drawn under section 37-102, which is a different document from the county overlay. Read the overlay as notice that the question applies and the state map as the authority on whether a given address is in. Four other layers come back empty across this boundary: the base's noise control districts, its Air Installation Compatible Use Zone, the county's airport environs overlays and the Tucson Airport Authority's avigation easement area, which covers a different quarter of the city. None of that speaks to an avigation easement recorded against an individual parcel, which is a title question and shows up in the commitment. School assignment here is Tucson Unified throughout, and it holds steady from one edge of the boundary to the other. All 81 sample points come back with the same three campuses: Whitmore Elementary School, half a mile north of the line on East Glenn Street, Doolen Middle School and Catalina High School. LiveBy's own assignment query over the boundary returns those three and no fourth, so the county record and the MLS record agree campus for campus and there is no split to resolve. None of the three stands inside the boundary. Assignments are drawn by address and they change, so confirm the assignment for a specific address with the district before relying on it. Two pieces of civic ground stand inside the boundary and no others. One is Pinecrest Park, 1.6 acres the City of Tucson classes as a neighborhood park, equipped with a playground, a multi-purpose field, picnic tables, grills, benches, bicycle racks and a drinking fountain but no restrooms and no ramada. The other is Tucson Fire Station 7, at 4902 East Pima Street. No shared-use path is mapped anywhere inside the line. Everyday logistics are unusually simple here. The boundary is one ZIP code and one council ward — all 915 of its county address points read 85712, and all 81 sample points return Ward 6 — and almost everything is close. Tucson Medical Center's campus is about a third of a mile east on Grant Road, the Martha Cooper Library about four tenths of a mile west and the Tucson Botanical Gardens about nine tenths of a mile west. Further out: El Con Center 1.6 miles, Park Place 1.6, the Reid Park Zoo 2.5, the University of Arizona 3.0, Banner – University Medical Center Tucson 3.1, downtown Tucson about 4.6 and Tucson International Airport about 8.2.
