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.

Property Ratings at Sahara
Don’t move here. The management and owners don’t care. The places front gates and side gates haven’t worked in over 6 months and they have done nothing. You can’t access the amenities when the office is closed and the people in the office get real snippy with you when you need something.
Property Manager at Sahara, Responded To This Review
We are saddened to hear that your experience at Sahara was not up to our standards. We are in the process of contracting out a new FOB system to be installed, so that our residents can enjoy the amenities after business hours. We would love to address any other concerns you might be having and apologize if you felt unheard at anytime. Feel free to speak with Ida our Community Manager, as we do want to ensure you are taken care of.
There are just SO many problems with everything. The pool is under maintenance what feels like 4 days a week. It is nothing like the pictures advertise. The parking gate was stuck open for over two weeks, real "safe" and "secure". The laundry rooms were promised to be done in September, then October, then December, we didn't get any messages about them until March. MARCH. The second floor ones were shut down and locked the entire time. Emergency maintenance doesn't exist, you're stuck with any problem you have until morning. They locked the laundry room door somewhere between 11:00pm-11:46pm. My clothes were in the dryer, I could hear the dryer still on when I went to get them. Someone heard the dryer, saw the dryer was in use, and still locked the door. The internet here is so bad, it's WiFi but they have Ethernet ports on the walls, they're just turned off.
