Rio Rico, Arizona

Rio Rico is a resort community located near the Mexico border on I-19. The community is nestled between Tubac and Nogales. Yet, it has the urban conveniences of Tucson less than an hour north and the splendor of exotic Mexico just minutes south, The Villages of Rio Rico offer something for everyone.

Rio Rico features luxury homes, resort-style living and miles of undiscovered desert landscape situated in one of the most picturesque and historically fascinating areas of Arizona. Rio Rico is one of the newest and fastest growing communities in Santa Cruz County. Once part of a vast land grant from the King of Spain, Rio Rico finds itself in the unique position of balancing a luxury Four Diamond resort with an unspoiled rural residential ambiance. While coyotes still howl under crystalline skies and the cattle roam free, its par 72 Robert Trent Jones Sr. golf course is listed as one of the finest in the state.

Rio Rico has new sub-divisions that feature a beautifully master-planned community with model homes, a resort, a health club and country club, all nestled in the exquisite hills surrounding the Santa Cruz River. Built away from the congestion of the city where one is still able to walk to natural trails and unlimited exploration of this pristine land.

With more than 300 days of sunshine, Rio Rico offers an ideal climate and almost perfectly sunny days every day of the year. Rio Rico is also still far enough removed from the more urban parts of Phoenix, that you can sit on your patio at the end of the day, and hear the coyotes and look up at brilliant stars laid on a backdrop of black velvet.

Rio Rico has varied housing options, any recreational activity that you can think of and a school system that prides itself on being top-rate. Why not come and see what makes Rio Rico, and Rio Rico some of the most attractive real estate in the greater Tucson area. Once you do, we guarantee you'll not want to live anywhere else!

Rio Rico's major attraction is a resort lifestyle, affordable housing, and its proximity to Mexico. Today, the area retains much of the look and feel of those old, romantic days.
