One of Tucson’s best kept secrets has been recognized by “Cottage Living” magazine as of the nation’s top ten charming communities.
Located just steps away from downtown, Armory Park del Sol is a close-knit community of eco-friendly homes designed with beautiful architectural styles that reflect Tucson’s rich history. It is located at the northeast corner of 3rd Avenue and 16th Street and, when finished, will consist of 99 custom homes built by John Wesley Miller, whose company is nationally renowned for it’s dedication to environmental conservation.
