Miles is like a small village tucked inside the city—a place where history, community, and convenience come together. With its friendly streets, unique homes, and central location, Miles is a neighborhood where everyone can feel at home and connected to Tucson’s best.
The story of Miles begins before 1920, when only a few homesteads dotted the area. In the 1920s, developer Walter E. Murphey Sr. bought and divided the land as an extension of University Heights. New homes began to pop up along Broadway Boulevard, and by the 1930s through the 1950s, the neighborhood steadily grew.
A true landmark is the Miles School, now the Miles Exploratory Learning Center (ELC), built in phases from 1921 to 1949. This school has always been a centerpiece for families and children, drawing students from all over Tucson. The neighborhood’s homes reflect many architectural styles from Tucson’s past, and many could qualify for the National Register of Historic Places. Over the years, Miles has kept its close-knit, welcoming feel, even as Tucson has grown around it.
Miles is easy to find and close to everything:
The neighborhood sits south of Broadway Boulevard, north of Arroyo Chico Wash, east of Park Avenue, and west of Kino Parkway—just a half-mile south of the University of Arizona and east of downtown Tucson.
Miles is like a friendly front porch—neighbors wave hello, kids play outside, and everyone feels welcome. The area is known for its diverse mix of people, from students and young professionals to long-time residents. Its central spot means you can walk or bike to the University of Arizona, downtown, parks, shops, and restaurants. The neighborhood’s unique homes, tree-lined streets, and community spirit make it a great place for families, renters, and homeowners alike.
Community events, school activities, and easy access to public transit add to the neighborhood’s charm. People love Miles for its small-town feel in the heart of the city, its history, and the way everyone looks out for each other.
