Sunlit 55+ Community of La Cholla Has Single Story Homes, Two Swimming Pools, Nearby Golf Courses and a Plethora of Events and Activities
Tucked into northwest Tucson in southern Arizona, La Cholla Hills, a 55+ community, was built by Fairfield Homes between 1984 and 1989. This well-established enclave along La Cholla Boulevard contains nearly 400 attached single story, single family homes and town homes.
Floor plans range from about 700 square feet to more than 2,000 square feet with one to three bedrooms. A few dwellings have dual master suites. Residences are set on larger lots with mature, water-wise landscaping (Xeriscaping), and many homes have been remodeled, re-carpeted and/or retiled. Additions might include a new roof, new appliances and a gourmet kitchen. Exteriors are made from slump block, a concrete block that looks like adobe, and roofs are flat with red ceramic tile.
Prices start in the low-$200,000s. The HOA fee is about $160 per month. Please verify this with a Realtor as prices may change.
La Cholla Hills maintains barbecue ramadas, two heated outdoor swimming pools, two spas, as well as newly refinished shuffleboard and tennis courts.
The clubhouse is a hub of events and activities. Residents enjoy cocktail parties, morning coffees, lunch bunches, poker parties and a calendar of guest speakers. Groups interested in tennis, Hatha Yoga, mahjong, ping pong, and hiking meet regularly.
The community’s nearest neighbor is the Omni Tucson National Golf Course. Other nearby courses include the Arthur Pack Desert Golf Course and Oro Valley Country Club. The Northwest YMCA, with its large pool and full gym, is only a four minute drive. The University of Arizona is not far away, and downtown Tucson offers residents a full menu of sports, art galleries, museums, concerts and dining options.
Tucson has seven hospitals, and one, the University of Arizona Medical Center, has won numerous national awards. It is nationally ranked in geriatric care, cardiology and heart surgery and accredited by the Joint Commission. Medicare patients are accepted.
July’s average high temperature is 100 degrees, and January’s average high temperature is 52 degrees. Nights are usually cool.
