Crime |
Crime in Tucson tends to be at least double the national average. |
Medical facilities |
There are at least a dozen hospitals in Tucson, at least there were until some of them had to shut down because of operating costs and other financial issues... |
Transportation |
Tucson International Airport Amtrak Sun Tran (award-winning public bus system), Old Pueblo Trolley, Biking – there are many trails and Tucson is bicycle-friendly, but there in NO integrated transportation system in and around the city. If you need to get somewhere you must have a vehicle or be prepared to pay a high price for a taxi service. Traffic has become a nightmare along with potholes. Tucson's walkability is about average compared with other cities. |

What people are saying about Tucson | |
Tucson | |
One of my brothers recently moved to Tucson and he wants me to join him there. I am a widowed 77 year old in very good physical & mental shape. I am going to visit him in a few weeks to get the feel of the place. If I do move I would want to live in a reasonably priced(under 200K, 2 bedroom house). Can anyone recommend a community that fits the bill so I can check it out when I visit. Norm | |

MOST BIOLOGICALLY DIVERSE LANDSCAPE | |
The mountains, canyons, and desert that surround Tucson are full of interesting plants and wildlife. Hiking and wildlife watching here has really changed my life. I live at the base of the Tortolita Mts on Dove Mountain. I walk most mornings along a roadside trail. It is fabulous for birdwatching and lots of beautiful desert plants. I explore the nearby mountains - Tortilitas, Santa Ritas, Catalinas. So fabulous! So much to see and do here. Even in summer, I head to the high elevations in the mountains where the temps are 10 degrees or more cooler. Or, just get up early for a walk or hike. The weather here is ideal 9 months of the year. | |

Living in Tucson is great. I love the sun. I love the people I have met. Best yet it is just a great place, culural activities of all kinds abound and we have great restuarants. | |
