Forty Niner Country Club Real Estate Market & Homes
The housing stock in Forty Niner Country Club is ideal for buyers who prioritize character and space over cookie-cutter designs. Most of the original homes were built between the early 1960s and the late 1990s, offering a sturdy architectural foundation that many owners have updated with high-end modern finishes.
Because of the neighborhood’s layout, a significant portion of the homes offer direct golf course frontage or unobstructed views of the Rincon and Santa Catalina Mountains. This combination of “old Tucson” charm and a lush greenbelt environment keeps demand high for this northeast pocket.
The value proposition here is centered on the Tanque Verde lifestyle. You get the benefit of a deed-restricted community that maintains its aesthetic standards, but without the high monthly carry costs found in gated Catalina Foothills enclaves.

Frequently Asked Questions About Forty Niner Country Club
Is there an HOA in Forty Niner Country Club?
Yes, the community is served by the Forty Niner Estates Association. You can access the official HOA WEBSITE for current bylaws and community updates.
How much are the HOA dues?
Approximately $65 per year (as of March, 2026), which is very low compared to many Tucson HOA communities.
What is the Zip Code for Forty Niner Country Club?
The neighborhood is located in the 85749 zip code in Northeast Tucson.
Are rentals allowed?
Forty Niner Country Club Estates appears to allow rental properties, as the governing documents do not contain strict rental caps or leasing prohibitions. However, tenants must still comply with all HOA rules and deed restrictions, and the property owner remains responsible for any violations. Because the CC&Rs were originally recorded in the 1960s, buyers interested in short-term rentals should verify current HOA interpretation before purchasing.
Do you have to join the country club if you live here?
No. The country club membership is separate from the HOA and optional.
Do you need HOA approval for home improvements?
Yes for most exterior structural changes, including:
additions
garages
guest houses
pools
walls
large structures
Are sheds or accessory buildings allowed?
Yes in many cases, but they typically require architectural review approval before construction.
Is Forty Niner Country Club Estates in a flood zone?
Some homes in the neighborhood—particularly those closer to Tanque Verde Creek—may fall within FEMA flood zones. Many interior lots are outside the floodplain, but buyers should always verify the flood map for the specific property they are considering.
Do homes here require flood insurance?
Only homes located within certain FEMA flood zones typically require flood insurance for financed purchases. Homes outside the mapped flood zone may still choose to carry flood insurance voluntarily.
Flood Zone Considerations
Forty Niner Country Club Estates (Tanque Verde Area)
One important thing buyers should understand about the Forty Niner Country Club Estates area is its proximity to Tanque Verde Creek, which runs along the southern side of the neighborhood.
Because of this, some properties in the community are located in or near FEMA flood zones, particularly homes closer to the creek corridor.
Why this matters
Depending on the specific lot location:
Some homes may be located in FEMA flood zone AE or floodway areas
Flood insurance may be required by lenders
Even homes outside the mapped flood zone can still be subject to localized drainage or wash flow during monsoon storms
This does not affect every home in the neighborhood, but it is something buyers should investigate during due diligence.
