Tres Lomas Real Estate Market & Homes
The Tres Lomas market is defined by its high value-per-acre compared to the denser Catalina Foothills. Most homes range from 1,700 to over 2,400 square feet, providing generous interior spaces that are ideal for modern renovations. Because of the county-zoned horse property roots, several parcels in the community even allow for equestrian use, making this a top choice for those looking for a functional desert homestead.
Investors and long-term owners value the Pima County CR-1 and SR zoning, which prevents high-density development and protects the rural feel of the area. Due to the limited number of homesites and the desirable 85749 zip code, inventory in Tres Lomas is often tight, and well-maintained homes tend to attract multiple offers quickly.
