Winterhaven is a lush, mid-century enclave in central Tucson’s 85716 ZIP, located just north of Fort Lowell Rd between Country Club and Tucson Blvd. Developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, the neighborhood is known for its wide, tree-lined streets, irrigated lawns, and classic red-brick ranch homes—often featuring original steel casement windows, pitched roofs, and generous front yards. Most properties offer 2–4 bedrooms on 1/4-acre lots, with many updated for modern living while retaining their mid-century charm.
Winterhaven is nationally known for its Festival of Lights, an annual December tradition that draws thousands of visitors on foot, bike, or trolley to view the neighborhood’s elaborate holiday displays. The area also gained pop-culture fame as a filming location for the 1987 teen movie Can’t Buy Me Love. Residents enjoy quick access to the University of Arizona, The Loop, Banner Health, and nearby shopping at Campbell and Fort Lowell. With its nostalgic vibe, community spirit, and central convenience, Winterhaven remains one of Tucson’s most iconic and sought-after historic neighborhoods.
