Twenty miles down Interstate 19 from Tucson, the small city of Green Valley offers a scenic and tranquil enclave amid the rugged desert landscape. The relatively secluded location, beautiful scenery, and sunny climate have helped make Green Valley one of the area’s most popular retirement communities. Locals enjoy endless opportunities to spend quality time outdoors, whether hitting the links at the nearby golf courses or exploring Coronado National Forest or hanging out with four-legged friends at Anamax Dog Park. The community itself is mostly filled by residential neighborhoods, offering locals a low-key home environment with one of Arizona’s most exciting cities just minutes up the road.
