Catalina & Oracle
Catalina
The town of Catalina is nestled in the northwest foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains sitting at an elevation of 3200 ft. Just north of Oro Valley, this quaint town attracts those looking for a more rural setting. The angle of this town against the mountains make for a beautiful, peaceful setting. Home to a colony of artists, Catalina prides itself in its laid back approach to everyday living, spiritual connection and respect for individual life. Besides organic farming and art studios, Miraval Resort makes its home here. The Catalina area continues to attract retirees as seen in the continued development of Saddlebrook, a Robson Resort community.
Oracle
Nested in the northeastern foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, this unincorporated town sits at an elevation of 4500 ft, just 30 miles north of Tucson. Mild winters and cool summers make this town a diamond in the rough. Fresh air and high desert landscape await you.
Custom built homes surround the modest homes in town which integrate a well caring community. Art tours, Car shows, and preservation fund raising make for a wholesome lifestyle. You will not want to miss the annual Oaks Festival held in April and the Fiesta de los Calabazas (Pumpkin Festival) held in in the Fall.
