Overview
Master-planned desert living minutes from Saguaro Park East
Silverado Hills is one of east Tucson’s most established master-planned communities — where mountain views and open desert set the tone. Minutes from Saguaro National Park East, it’s the kind of place where morning hikes and sunset walks don’t require a car. It draws families, working professionals, and long-time east-siders — military families from Davis-Monthan, Raytheon commuters, teachers, and retirees who bought new in the ’90s and never left.
Roughly 900 single-family homes built between 1990 and 1997 span Southwestern, Santa Fe, Contemporary, and Spanish styles from builders like Canoa, A.F. Sterling, Pepper Viner, Richmond American, and Sombra. Sizes run about 1,343 to 3,121 sq ft with two- and three-car garages standard and lots up to a quarter acre. Desert washes and open common areas run through the community, preserving native vegetation and framing Rincon Mountain views along the perimeter streets.
One thing to understand before writing an offer: the layered HOA structure. A master association covers the community, with certain blocks (like Silverado Hills III) functioning as subassociations underneath — so dues, rules, and maintenance can vary by section. Shared amenities include a pool and community center, though access and upkeep vary by subassociation.
One of east Tucson’s largest master plans, built 1990–1997 by five builders.
From compact three-bedroom singles to five- and six-bedroom two-stories with 3-car garages.
One of the more affordable established east-side options with real mountain views.
Dues vary by block — most MLS records show $19–$107/month; verify with the resale package.

FAQ
Silverado Hills questions, answered
Is there an HOA?
Yes — the Silverado Hills Master HOA (Mission Management Services). Some sections, like Silverado Hills III, also fall under a subassociation with different rules, so dues and regulations can vary by block.
What ZIP code is it in?
Silverado Hills is in the 85748 ZIP code on the far east side of Tucson.
Are short-term rentals allowed?
Recorded CC&Rs (for at least one subassociation) require leases in writing with a 30-day minimum — not supportive of short-term rentals. Verify by section through Mission Management before buying to rent.
Are pets allowed?
Yes — generally up to two pets per home, subject to board discretion and nuisance rules. Exotic or farm animals are typically not permitted.
Are RVs and boats allowed?
Not outside — RVs, boats, commercial vehicles, and trailers must be fully enclosed in a garage or carport and screened from street view. Inoperable vehicles can’t be stored outdoors.
What are the HOA dues?
They vary by block and subassociation — MLS records show roughly $19–$107/month, some higher. Request a resale package to confirm the fee and coverage for a specific home.
Why is Silverado Hills popular?
Mountain views, proximity to Saguaro National Park East, solid TUSD schools, a range of home sizes, and a settled low-traffic feel with easy Houghton-corridor access — all below new-construction prices.
What's the vibe?
A quiet, well-established desert neighborhood — mature landscaping, Southwestern/Santa Fe/Contemporary homes with 2–3 car garages. Not gated, but cul-de-sac streets keep traffic minimal.
