Civano

Civano is Tucson’s pioneering “solar village” on the east side, celebrated for its colorful stucco homes, deep front porches, narrow traffic-calmed streets, and an ethos of sustainability that dates back to the late-1990s master plan. Residents enjoy xeriscaped pocket parks, community gardens, two solar-heated pools, a vibrant HOA-run commercial core (coffee shop, nursery, wellness studios), and direct access to the Chuck Huckleberry Loop bike path via the Harrison Greenway. Built in three phases—Civano I, Civano II and the newer Sierra Morado enclave—the neighborhood offers everything from authentic straw-bale casitas to modern energy-efficient builds, all within the highly rated Vail School District and just 20 minutes to downtown Tucson via nearby I-10. With regular farmers’ markets, holiday parades, and eco-workshops, Civano delivers small-town charm, green living, and strong resale value in one of Tucson’s most forward-thinking communities.
