City - Vail

Tucked southeast of Tucson along the base of the Rincon Mountains, Vail, Arizona sits at about 3,200 feet elevation and offers a wide open Sonoran Desert landscape that's about 24 miles from downtown Tucson. As an unincorporated census-designated place in Pima County, Vail keeps things spread out. Daily life revolves around driving to run errands, though the area has grown considerably since the 2000s and now supports a number of chain retailers and restaurants, plus big-box grocery stores. Residents also have easy access to Colossal Cave Mountain Park and the Rincon Mountains District of Saguaro National Park, both of which are literally next door. The rental landscape in Vail is predominantly made up of single-family homes and townhomes in planned neighborhoods, with some garden-style apartment communities available as well. Horse properties and acreage rentals are also part of the mix, reflecting the area's rural character.

School data provided by GreatSchools The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
