Located at 919 N Stone Ave in Tucson, Arizona, this single-floor amenity space is thoughtfully designed to foster community and recreation. The interior features light wood-style flooring throughout, a drop-tile ceiling with recessed panel lighting, and bold design accents that create an energetic yet welcoming atmosphere. The lounge area offers generous seating with a mix of a large sectional sofa, colorful accent chairs, and a vibrant patterned area rug. Large floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and provide views of an outdoor pool courtyard with palm trees, bringing the Tucson surroundings indoors. Southwestern-inspired artwork adorns the walls, reinforcing the local character of the space. A standout feature is the striking multicolored textured accent wall, which anchors a dedicated media and lounge zone equipped with a wall-mounted flat-screen TV, built-in cabinetry, and a pair of retro globe pod chairs — ideal for private listening or relaxed viewing. Adjacent shelving units add functional display space. The game room is well-appointed with two full-size billiard tables, a ping-pong table, and a cue rack, all set within an open, light-filled area with glass partition walls offering views into neighboring spaces. High-top bistro tables provide casual seating throughout. The space connects seamlessly to outdoor areas, making it a lively hub for social activity.

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.
