About Casas Adobes

Casas Adobes is about 12 minutes from central Tucson. We take Oracle Road north. Ina Road, La Cholla and River Road cross it.

Many call it Tucson’s first suburb. Sam Nanini’s subdivisions from the mid-1950s are mostly large ranch homes built with adobe bricks. The area also has a lot of mid-century modern architecture.

A mid-century house wants a door that suits its lines. A straight-line pattern fits a flat, modern front. Scroll or bar work suits an adobe-brick ranch.

What homes in Casas Adobes ask for.

Casas Adobes homes

This is an older, mostly built-out suburb between the Cañada del Oro and the Rillito River. Large ranch homes and mid-century modern houses are the core. Some big estates still keep old citrus groves.

The steel side of it

Older homes mean odd openings, so doors and window guards built to the opening are common. Courtyard and side gates suit ranch lots. Handrails come up for steps and entries as homes are updated.
