Tucson Crossroads – Fourth Avenue & Sixth Street

There’s more to learning about a new city than just identifying the major attractions. No matter how many times I’ve been to a certain part of town there’s always one question that throws me for a loop. “Where should we eat?” This is when my brain turns off and I’m left to respond with the only immediately visible dining choice, which is usually something like Wienerschnitzel. Frustrated, I often respond with a vacuous “Uh…” So, I’m making it a point to become familiar with dining choices in Tucson, for now, arranged by intersection(give or take 100 yards).

The intersection of Fourth Avenue and Sixth Street is a unique area of Tucson.  To the north and south along Fourth Avenue are numerous establishments to satisfy your food and drink requirements.  This stretch of Fourth Avenue has some of the most unique shops and restaurants in town.  If you happen to find yourself looking at Tucson Real Estate near the intersection of North Euclid Avenue and East University Boulevard, there are many choices when some one asks the question, “Where should we eat?”

Welcome to Tucson!

Welcome to Tucson!

Tucson is the second largest city in Arizona and although everyone has different viewpoints on this subject, to me Tucson is a great Arizona city!  Tucson has great hiking, it is very bicycle-friendly, dog-friendly, and environmentally-friendly.  The history of Tucson is compelling, dating back to 1775, and Tucson celebrates that history.  Tucson feels like a small town in many ways, yet has all of the things a person would look for in a big city.

The purpose of this blog is mainly to focus on Tucson Real Estate.  All of the things that make a city livable go into making its real estate more valuable.  This blog will focus on all of those things.
