Have $750,000 and want to know how far that will get you in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson? In many large cities like San Diego, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, Seattle, and many other areas of the country, $750,000 will not get you very much at all. But Tucson offers climate, scenery, and an economy that (while not as diverse as some of these mega metro areas) is very vibrant. Here in Tucson, we have passed 1 million in population and this has pulled many high-end businesses and retailers to the area. Just off of Sunrise and Campbell, La Entrada is fully leased with premium retailers for high-end fashions and services to residents who demand luxury items. In addition, the Tucson area is dotted with many exclusive resorts that cater to residents and guests alike with world- class golf, spas, and recreation that cannot be surpassed by any desert climate in the world!
