Area Guide
Niche Reviews 
Rincon Heights sits directly south of the University of Arizona, less than two miles east of downtown Tucson. The area's architecture, with influences such as 1920s to 1940s Revival, bungalow, and Spanish Revival, gives the neighborhood a distinct vibe, and rental opportunities here include many ranch-style homes.
Locals actively work to improve the neighborhood by planting rain gardens and trees, creating green spaces in the middle of the city. Residents with green thumbs gather at the community garden, while others connect at the neighborhood pocket park. Choose two feet or two wheels to get around Rincon Heights, as the neighborhood prides itself on high walkability and bicycling scores.
Fill up on noodles, dumplings, and more made from scratch daily at the China Pasta House. The Brew of a Sports Grill serves up your classic bar and grill fare with a wide selection of beer on tap. Cool off on hot Tucson days with cold treats from Sonoran Snoballs.

The area is wonderful. It's extremely close to the University of Arizona, while still maintaining a quiet atmosphere. I am a serious student and peace is really necessary in those crucial studying moment. The area is surprisingly not rowdy with college students. It also has this nice small town feel to it. I am originally from the city and I can't explain just how much I love the area.

The local businesses are mostly mom-and-pop shops but they are very welcoming to the students at the University near them, providing good jobs and flexible schedules.
