ORO VALLEY
Popular Choice for Pleasant Living
Just north of Tucson is the bedroom community of Oro Valley, bordered on its east side by the Santa Catalina Mountains and a scenic state park. The convenience of its proximity to both the “big city” and the adjacent park is a significant draw for the year-round residents as well as the large population with a second (typically winter) home in Arizona.
Pusch Ridge, a prominent feature in the picturesque mountain range, holds historical significance for the town. The ridge itself takes its name from George Pusch, one of the entrepreneurial immigrants who established a substantially large cattle ranch – the Steam Pump Ranch – in 1874 in the foothills where Oro Valley now lies. Despite early acknowledgement from Pusch and other pioneers that this was a desirable area to settle, it was quite some time before residential development really took hold – not until after World War II. Incorporation of the city followed in 1974. Since then, the number of lovely gated and golf communities has truly blossomed.
The various hiking and biking trails that snake their way throughout the region run the gamut of accessibility, from smoothly paved paths to so-called “primitive” trails comprised of considerably rougher terrain, accommodating all skill levels. The importance of the town’s connection to nature is demonstrated by its popular Adopt-A-Trail program, which encourages local involvement in the upkeep and maintenance of this excellent source of outdoor enjoyment.
The well-attended Heirloom Farmers Market is another perfect example of the kind of pleasant community spirit that reigns in Oro Valley. Purveyors of fresh produce and various other vendors gather at Steam Pump Ranch on Saturday mornings, attracting browsers, tasters and buyers of all ages.
The sociable, family-friendly atmosphere in the town has been noted in recent years by a number of reputable publications and organizations. Among its impressive accolades are inclusion on lists of the “Safest Cities in Arizona,” “Arizona’s Best Small Cities” (with a 2020 population of nearly 47,000) and the “Top Ten Best Towns for Families.” Oro Valley schools also consistently rank high among other education systems across the state.
To these agreeable characteristics, add a beautiful setting and an extraordinarily mild climate. It’s no wonder Oro Valley has become a place that residents are pleased and proud to call home.
