Rincon Heights: Tucson’s “Middle of Everywhere” Neighborhood

Rincon Heights

Rincon Heights is like a crossroads—where history, culture, and daily life all meet in the heart of Tucson. Known for its welcoming spirit and central location, this neighborhood is a place where you can enjoy the best of the city while feeling right at home.

The History and Story of Rincon Heights

Rincon Heights began as one of Tucson’s first suburban neighborhoods, with roots stretching back to the 1880s. The area was ahead of its time—early lots sold slowly because there was no public transportation, but the arrival of the University of Arizona nearby changed everything. The neighborhood grew as a mix of families, students, and workers moved in, drawn by its close ties to the university and downtown Tucson.

Rincon Heights is known for its architectural diversity, with homes built from the late 1800s through the 1970s. You’ll find Craftsman bungalows, Spanish Colonial Revival houses, and modern ranch styles, all lining broad, walkable streets. High School Wash, a natural area running through the neighborhood, adds a touch of green and history, with WPA-era sidewalks and culverts still in place. In 2013, Rincon Heights was officially listed as a National Historic District, recognizing its unique blend of architecture and community spirit.
