Welcome to the Catalina Foothills

Located north of Tucson in Pima County, Arizona, lies the Catalina Foothills—situated on Arizona’s most striking mountain range. In the early 1930s, the Catalina Foothills, developed by local designer John Murphy and Swiss architect Josias Joesler without disturbing the desert landscape, envisioned a resort community for wealthy Midwestern families to seek refuge during the winter months. Nestled between the Sonoran Desert and the Santa Catalina Mountaintops are luxurious Catalina Foothills real estate options like Mexican-style properties and sleek modern homes. 
 
The beautiful desert terrain and Southwestern culture draw young families to the Catalina Foothills. Surrounded by nature, it’s a highly sought-after area where residents enjoy tranquility, vibrant sunrises, and panoramic sunsets over the foothills, plus great access to in-town action. Within this area are several unique communities, including gated communities, golf communities, and non-gated rustic communities. Located at the base of Santa Catalina Mountain, Sabino Canyon offers an assortment of walking, hiking, and biking trails. Other activities to take the family include multicultural galleries, golf courses, and unique restaurants.
