Due to its location in the arid setting of the Sonoran Desert, the availability of water is a common concern among residents and potential residents alike. Since the Santa Cruz River running through the city has recently diminished to a wash, Tucson now makes use of groundwater and the Central Arizona Project for its water supply.

Minutes away from a wealth of gated properties in Tucson are optimal family-friendly activities. Take your family and visit the International Wildlife Museum. The museum’s impressive natural history exhibit, Wildlife Theater and Oasis Grille are sure to make for a memorable experience.
