West University was one of Tucson’s first subdivisions and has transformed into one of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods. As its name implies, the neighborhood is located directly west of the University of Arizona. Although the area is great for students and university employees, families are drawn to West University for its excellent schools. This historic neighborhood is known for its bustling dining, nightlife, and shopping scene. North 4th Street (which residents can use to go into Downtown Tucson) is filled with vintage shops, breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants serving up casual eats like pizza and tacos. The neighborhood association also keeps the area lively with annual potlucks and events like the Spring Fourth Avenue Street Fair.
West University has rental options available for every style and price.

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.
