Tucson is a vibrant community of over half a million people, yet it retains the small town qualities of little to no traffic congestion, clean air, plenty of parks, a rich cultural heritage and a multitude of nearby natural attractions.
Compared to Phoenix, a little over an hour north with a population over 1.6 million and often referred to as a mini Los Angeles, in terms of traffic congestion, you’ll find Tucson compact, relaxed and very livable.
With a major east/west Interstate Highway (I-10) passing through town, two major airports Tucson International Airport and Sky Harbor in nearby Phoenix, Tucson is easy to get to and is also a convenient starting point for your travels.
