Cresta Verde Apartments for Rent

Northeast of downtown Tucson, Arizona and near the mountains that surround Tucson is the community of Cresta Verde. This desert community is a part of the Tanque Verde district. Vegetation in the area consists of cactus, desert palms, and scrub brush. As many of the homes cannot be seen from the nearby roads, Cresta Verde is considered a private community. Homes in the area range in value from $200 thousand to $500 thousand. Tanque Verde lies near to Sabino Canyon, one of the more prestigious areas in Tucson.

Schools in the neighborhood are part of the Tanque Verde School District. Private schools in the area include the Hermossa Montessori School.

Just to the west of the district are unique places to eat like the Irish Pub Tucson, Risky Business, and Zayna Mediterranean Café.

Golf courses in the area include the Arizona National Golf Club and Raven Golf Club at Sabino Springs.

Many bed and breakfast places are found nearby, including The Casitas at Smokey Springs and the Double K Ranch Bed and Breakfast. For the more traditional style hotel, there’s the Radisson Suites Tucson to the west.

Nearby Sabino Canyon is a unique desert canyon oasis and is part of the Coronado National Forest. It features spectacular views and is home to abundant wildlife.

The nearby mountains afford numerous opportunities for camping, hiking, biking, horseback riding, rock climbing, and sightseeing.
