A closer look.
A clearer choice.
East Side covers a wide sweep from established neighborhoods near Pantano Wash to newer southeast communities near Houghton Road and the Rincon foothills. City plans use specific study boundaries, while neighborhood associations and subdivisions have their own names.12
Pantano East is a planning area, not a subdivision: the City plan describes about 11 square miles from Pantano Wash to Houghton Road and Tanque Verde/Wrightstown south to Golf Links. Some edge land is outside city limits.4

A few places to start getting a feel for the area.
Pantano River Park
Pima County describes a multiuse corridor for walking, cycling, equestrian use, and wildlife viewing. Access points and route conditions vary along the corridor.7
Saguaro National Park, Rincon Mountain District
The park’s East District entrance is reached via Old Spanish Trail. It offers a scenic drive and desert trails; confirm current operating conditions and access before visiting.89
East Side spans the Pantano and Houghton corridors toward the Rincon foothills. The City’s planning areas and registered neighborhood map provide better orientation than an assumed single boundary; some edge properties may be county jurisdiction.214
