The Menlo Park Neighborhood, nestled along the west end of the new Tucson Light Rail track, is a perfect combination of old world charm and modern, upscale development. The old world charm is certainly earned, this was the first Spanish settlement in what would become Tucson.
In fact, it has been continuously inhabited for over 4,000 years! That means almost 200 generations have walked that very earth; they have planted seeds in the very soil that many current homeowners have their gardens. Owning a home in the Menlo Park Neighborhood truly marks your place in history!
Menlo Park Neighborhood: Things to Do
Found slightly removed from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Tucson, Menlo Park is a welcome escape into the past. A relaxing stroll through the park (yes, there is an actual park in Menlo Park) reveals historic monuments along with a diverse specmen of desert flora and fauna.
Downtown is never too far away, however, and a quick ride on the Tucson Modern Streetcar delivers you to the doors of excitement and opportunity. All of the concerts, restaurants, nightclubs, and museums that have allowed Downtown Tucson to receive worldwide acclaim are basically in your backyard!
Before heading Downtown, be sure to find your way to the Mercado District. It’s the site of incredible development, with upscale custom homes, fine-dining eateries, and retail shops anchoring an open air marketplace. It is also the future home for some fantastic future innovations that I can’t wait to share with you!
