Tucson, nestled between five mountain ranges in the heart of the Sonoran Desert, offers stunning natural landscapes alongside city conveniences. Those seeking apartments for rent in Tucson will find 300+ days of sunshine annually, with outdoor recreation opportunities in the Santa Catalina Mountains and Saguaro National Park. As Arizona's second-largest city with a population of over 540,000, Tucson preserves its "Old Pueblo" heritage while offering contemporary amenities and a lower cost of living compared to many Western cities—the average one-bedroom apartment rents for around $998, below the state average of $1,343.
