Tucson, Arizona has long been known for its fine resorts and unique brand of hospitality.  Adding a property of the JW Marriott Starr Pass' caliber adds to that tradition.  Most of Tucson's resorts are nestled in the Catalina Foothills to the north of town - having this property tucked into a quiet niche of the Tucson Mountains to the west gives us another compass point to be proud of.

Kudos to the staff and management for continuing the tradition of excellence that has been a hallmark of the Tucson Hospitality Industry!

If you are interested in buying a home in the resort or close by, there is quite a selection to choose from - you can buy a home, townhome or condo on the Arnold Palmer Signature Golf Course, or select a luxury home in a gated community.

New homes and ranchettes can be found nearby - in a variety of price ranges on both sides of the Tucson Mountains. 

Call me to explore your options for resort homes, golf homes on the Arnold Palmer Signature course or one of the many other highly rated golf courses that help make Tucson a golfer's paradise.
