Peter Howen, better known as Peter Howell, was developed just after World War II and its mid-century houses and apartments available for rent reflect those early beginnings. The community’s prime location in Midtown Tucson provides locals with easy access to work, shopping, and restaurants. Gene C. Reid Park and the Randolph Dell Urich Golf Course sit right at the southwestern edge of the neighborhood for those in need of an outdoor adventure close to home.
A strong sense of community runs through this neighborhood, with residents gathering for pop-up neighborhood dinners and the annual spring picnic. Enjoy watching how fellow neighbors beautify their homes during the annual Curb Appeal contest and reaching Downtown Tucson within a 10-minute drive.

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.
