Historic character defines Tucson's Garden District, where mid-century homes showcase desert-adapted landscaping creating distinctive Sonoran environment. The neighborhood sits close to both downtown employment and university facilities without corresponding rental premiums. Though some properties show their age with vintage systems, the architectural character and established vegetation typically compensate for these considerations when compared to newer construction lacking similar charm.
