La Cholla Airpark — Oro Valley, Tucson, AZ
La Cholla Airpark is a one-of-a-kind private fly-in residential community in the Oro Valley area, built around a 4,500-foot paved and lighted runway (FAA identifier 57AZ) in the foothills of the Tortolita Mountains. Established in 1972 on roughly 1,000 acres, the airpark comprises about 122 large-lot homesites — each a minimum of seven acres — connected by private taxiways that let residents roll directly from an attached hangar to the shared runway. Homes are predominantly custom Southwestern, territorial, and desert-contemporary estates set well apart on acreage, many positioned to capture Santa Catalina Mountain views to the east and Tortolita Mountain and sunset views to the west and north. Current prices generally range from about $1 million to $3 million, with select properties higher. The airpark sits just north of Oro Valley's Oracle Road and Tangerine Road corridors, placing residents minutes from Oro Valley Marketplace shopping and dining, employers along the Innovation Park and Oracle Road corridor, and roughly 25–30 minutes from Interstate 10 and central Tucson. Homes are served by the Amphitheater Unified School District.
