Where we live is an anchor to our happiness. Perhaps that’s why Dove Mountain, a resort-lifestyle community north of Tucson, is seeing an uptick in Phoenix buyers seeking new luxury homes surrounded by protected mountain ranges, lush Sonoran Desert vegetation, and championship golf courses — all just steps from world-class dining and resort amenities.

 

Significant Value, Spectacular Setting

While Tucson’s lower home prices are undeniably appealing — averaging 16% less than Phoenix and 26% less than Scottsdale — it’s the region’s breathtaking natural beauty, favorable climate, and outstanding quality of life that captivate Dove Mountain’s discerning buyers.

Home to five distinct mountain ranges and a national park, the Tucson area is a magnet for outdoor enthusiasts, ranking among the 15 best cities for recreation and one of the most bike-friendly in the country. And with temperatures consistently cooler than in Phoenix, Dove Mountain residents can enjoy outdoor adventures year-round.

Tucson’s cultural appeal is undeniable. Thanks to its vibrant arts scene, exceptional gastronomy and distinctive architecture, Condé Nast Traveler has named the city its 2024 top destination in North America and the Caribbean.

 

Enjoy the Best Life Has to Offer

Among Southern Arizona’s attractions, Dove Mountain is a destination unto itself. Surrounded by protected natural lands, home to three elite golf courses, and anchored by the 5-star Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain Resort & Spa, this exceptional community offers peace, privacy, and unparalleled opportunities for play — all just 90 minutes from Phoenix and 20 minutes from downtown Tucson.

At Dove Mountain, enjoying nature is as easy as stepping outside your door, thanks to 50+ miles of walking, hiking, biking, and equestrian trails in the adjacent Tortolita Preserve and Tortolita Mountain Park.

Resident golfers hit the greens unhampered by Phoenix golf clubs’ notoriously long waiting lists. At The Golf Clubs of Dove Mountain, memberships are available to suit a variety of interests. For the true enthusiast, the Icon 63 membership grants access to 63 holes of championship golf across two premier clubs — plus two clubhouses, five restaurants, and The Gallery Sports Club.

Dove Mountain’s spectacular vistas — unobstructed by smog and corporate high-rises — are another significant draw. From an elevated perch in the Tortolita foothills, Dove Mountain residents enjoy mesmerizing views of expansive skies, majestic Saguaros, and lavender-hued mountains stretching far into the horizon.

And, once the glowing sun sets, Southern Arizona’s stars shine brighter, thanks to dark sky ordinances and some of the best air quality in the West.
