This historic neighborhood is located just over two miles away from Downtown Tucson. Along with an excellent school system, Sam Hughes rests beside the University of Arizona, giving the area a youthful, park-like atmosphere. Sam Hughes ranks high among Tucson's most walkable neighborhoods, with a variety of stores and restaurants, a library, and a major bike path in the area. Spend a lazy summer day at the sprawling 24-acre Himmel Park, where residents picnic and play.
