Silverado Hills Homes For Sale — Tucson, AZ
East Tucson Living Where the Desert Starts at Your Doorstep
Silverado Hills is one of east Tucson’s most established master-planned communities — a neighborhood where mountain views and open desert set the tone for daily life. Sitting just minutes from Saguaro National Park East, this is the kind of location where morning hikes and sunset walks happen without a car ride. Whether you’re a growing family looking for space, an outdoor enthusiast who wants trailhead access, or a buyer chasing east-side value under $500K, Silverado Hills delivers.
Minutes from Saguaro National Park — East Tucson's Outdoor Corridor
Silverado Hills occupies a prime stretch of east Tucson between Speedway Boulevard and 22nd Street, just east of Houghton Road. The community is anchored by Ridgeside Drive, which serves as the main internal artery, and sits along the Broadway Boulevard corridor — one of Tucson’s key east-west commuter routes.
- Outdoor Access: Saguaro National Park East is minutes away, and Case Natural Resource Park — a 53-acre preserve with walking paths, a playground, and a hummingbird sanctuary — borders the community. The Loop multi-use path system is accessible nearby for cyclists and runners.
- Shopping & Dining: The Houghton Town Center area and the retail corridor along Broadway and Houghton provide grocery stores, restaurants, and daily essentials without a long drive. Park Place Mall and the broader midtown retail cluster sit roughly 15 minutes west on Broadway.
- Commuters & Employers: Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is a short drive south. Raytheon Missiles & Defense, Banner-University Medical Center, and the University of Arizona campus are all within a 20–25 minute commute westbound on Broadway or Speedway.
Living in Silverado Hills: A Desert-Edge Community Built for Everyday Comfort
Silverado Hills attracts a solid mix of families, working professionals, and long-time east-siders who want neighborhood stability without the sticker shock of Tucson’s newer master plans. You’ll find military families from nearby Davis-Monthan, Raytheon commuters, teachers, and retirees who moved here when the homes were new in the ’90s and never left.
With roughly 900 single-family homes built between 1990 and 1997, the community offers a range of one- and two-story floor plans in Southwestern, Santa Fe, Contemporary, and Spanish styles. Builders included Canoa Homes, A.F. Sterling, Pepper Viner, Richmond American, and Sombra Homes. Current sizes run from about 1,343 to 3,121 square feet, with two- and three-car garages standard across most of the subdivision. Lots range up to roughly a quarter acre.
What makes Silverado Hills different from many east-side subdivisions is the layered HOA structure. The community operates under a master homeowners association (Silverado Hills Master HOA), with certain blocks — like Silverado Hills III — functioning as subassociations underneath it. This means HOA dues, rules, and maintenance responsibilities can vary by section. It’s not a one-size-fits-all setup, which is something buyers should understand before writing an offer.
Architecturally, the neighborhood was designed with the Sonoran Desert in mind. Open common areas and desert washes run through the community, preserving native vegetation and providing natural buffer zones between blocks. Mountain views — particularly of the Rincon range to the east — are a defining feature for many homes, especially those along the elevated perimeter streets.
The community includes shared amenities such as a pool, community center, and recreational area, though amenity access and maintenance may vary by subassociation. For outdoor recreation beyond the subdivision, Broadway Trailhead, Saguaro National Park East, and Case Natural Resource Park are all within a few minutes’ drive — or walk.
