Tucson Mid Century Homes: a guide for buying or selling

Tucson grew leaps and bounds in the post war years of the 1950s and 1960s. As a result mid-century architecture is ubiquitous here. Mid-century Modern architecture has become more popular with a younger generation looking for clean lines and interesting details that are often not found in standard track homes built today. Many enjoy these homes because they are in established neighborhoods, which tend to be more centrally located and feature plenty of mature trees. Are you looking for a mid-century home in Tucson? Let this page be your guide.

“My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Nick and Kim on the purchase of our first home in Tucson. As we we’re new to the area, we needed some guidance in navigating the various areas of the city. We met Nick at an open house and were wowed by his knowledge of mid-century architecture in the area.”

Andrew S.
