Homes for Rent in Tucson, AZ (1,167 Rentals)

The southeastern quadrant of Arizona is a big playground for nature lovers. Some stand-out examples include Mt. Lemmon meadows and Alpine trails in the Catalinas, the hike to 7 Falls in Sabino Canyon, and the stroll along the gentler paths through the Saguaro National Monument desert area ascending into the Rincons. Drive the Ajo Mountains, an exotic desert-scape descending into the mysterious, seemingly endless western expanse beyond Tucson, leading to Yuma, Death Valley, and the Pacific Ocean. Hike the Dragoon Mountains near Bisbee to the south and the Tortolitas beyond the Catalinas to the north. Absolutely hike the little visited north face of the Catalinas too. These are all incredible places to spend many sunny days. Kit Peak in the distant view to the west is worth the day drive out onto the reservation. Or, for a longer excursion, the beach at Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) about 3 ½ hours away in Mexico is a must-visit for Tucson residents. In town, the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is an astounding trip into the history of U.S. aviation. It’s an immense outdoor storage and staging ground for all types of military aircraft, well worth the visit to survey the unusual spectacle. Shop old downtown for Tucson’s most fun shops for antiques, clothing, souvenirs, books, jewelry, and vintage stuff. Enjoy ethnic restaurants and the town’s largest areas of old desert architecture. Check out the Barrio for some of the best bargains in Tucson rental homes. Visit the Pima County Courthouse Historic Sites, and drive up to the Arizona Temple in the Catalina foothills for other inspiring architecture. When the sun sets, just be on the outdoor patio of any restaurant, café, or bar and enjoy the predictably wonderful weather and the vibrant Tucson nightlife.
