Quick Facts About Tucson

After Phoenix, Tucson is the second largest city in Arizona. Located in Pima County, Tucson is situated in an incredibly beautiful region, with mountains and desert landscapes galore. To the north, you’ll see the Santa Catalina Mountains and the Tortolita Mountains. The Santa Rita Mountains are to the south; the Tucson Mountains are off to the west; and the Rincon Mountains are east of town.

When you move here, you’ll fall in love with the year-round sunshine, fresh air, and wide open spaces. The desert landscape offers much to explore, and the gorgeous sunsets can’t be beat. It’s true that the summers can get pretty hot, but there is little to no humidity, and the winters are quite pleasant.

Thriving Industries and an Enviable Cost of Living

The favorable business climate in Tucson is another reason why it’s a popular destination, both for employees and those looking to start their own companies. Tucsonans love supporting local businesses, and a vast range of industries thrive here. These include education, biomedical, renewables and mining, healthcare, transportation and logistics, and aerospace and defense. Compared to most large cities, Tucson also has a favorable cost of living and plenty of affordable housing.

Tucson’s chefs embrace a wide range of influences, from Asian to European cuisine.
