Chaparral Acres Apartments for Rent

The Chaparral Acres neighborhood is part of Tucson, Arizona, located on the far north side of the city. Situated just west of State Highway 77, this community is just minutes from Catalina and only a short drive from Oro Valley. Its exact location is immediately south of East Wilds Road, west of North Bowman Road, and north of East Bowman Place. It is traversed from east to west by East Chico Lane. The zip code here is 85739, and this community is part of Pima County. Nearby communities include Black Horse and Chaparral Estates to the north and Ranch Acres Estates to the east.

This small community is entirely residential, host to just a dozen or so single-family homes on fairly spacious lots. Like many of the more remote areas of Tucson, Chaparral Acres doesn’t have much uniformity or organization. Residences of various sizes and styles haphazardly dot a rather barren landscape, adding to the desert charm.

This side of the city is mostly residential areas and undeveloped land, but many commercial offerings exist within a short drive of home. Highway 77 hosts many shopping, dining, and entertainment options and nearby Oro Valley offers plenty of unique shops and eateries. The Oro Valley area is also known for its many public and private golf courses, which include the El Conquistador Golf Course, Oro Valley Country Club, and Omni Tucson National Golf Resort.

Chaparral Acres is a prime neighborhood for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers, with the Catalina State Park accessible just one mile to the east. Many other natural areas also exist on this side of the city, surrounding the scenic Santa Catalina Mountains. These include the Butterfly Peak Natural Area, Santa Catalina Natural Area, and General Hitchcock Picnic Area. Residents frequent these areas for hiking, camping, mountain biking, horseback riding, and picnicking.
