Why they chose this property
We love Blenman Elm for its central location and quiet, residential feel. It’s close to the University of Arizona, Banner UMC, and downtown, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and everyday essentials like Whole Foods.
What makes this property unique
What makes Villa Laguna stand out is the balance. It’s central and convenient, but once you’re inside the courtyard, it feels quiet and removed from the city. The pool and yard are completely private to the main house, and all three bedrooms have king beds — which guests really appreciate. The mix of classic Spanish details and comfortable, livable spaces makes it feel like a real Tucson home, not just a rental.
