Eastside - Tucson, AZ Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Eastside sits eight miles east of downtown Tuscon, along East Broadway Boulevard. This primarily residential neighborhood includes a mix of apartment buildings and single-family homes for rent. Numerous businesses pepper the area, and nearby Saguaro National Park provides a wide range of recreational opportunities for locals. A quick trip along Old Spanish Trail takes you to Saguaro National Park, where you can backpack through the wilderness. Wake up early for red velvet pancakes at Baja Cafe before heading out on an adventure hike with friends. Alternatively, reserve a spot at one of the park's six campgrounds, and enjoy night walks, gorgeous sunsets, and stargazing with the rangers. Return to Eastside for a meal of Singapore curry fried rice at Snow Peas Modern Asian Kitchen or fettuccine bolognese at Zona 78.
