Casitas at La Mariposa Community acquired 36.77 acres of vacant land in East Tucson for $4.6 million. The property, located along Houghton Road adjacent to the La Mariposa Resort, was purchased from Ruth Chmeik and Fiona Brophy of Castle Pines, Colorado.
The site is slated for development as a 162-unit build-to-rent casita community. Developer Phil Amos, in partnership with Philip Aries and Kirk Saunders of Saunders & Amos, is leading the venture.
Once completed, Casita Village at La Mariposa will feature single-story rental homes designed to integrate with the natural surroundings while meeting the region’s growing demand for affordable and attainable housing. The location offers proximity to parks, trails, and established neighborhoods. Units will offer high-end and convenient amenities and the location is perfect for those who enjoy both city life & the outdoors. The stylish homes will feature contemporary modern interiors with polished finishes, smart home technology, full-size washers & dryers, private backyards, and more.
Our location provides the best of what Tucson has to offer. Whether you enjoy the city’s simple pleasures or prefer the outdoors, you can have the best of both worlds. Be close to Mount Lemmon, Sabino Canyon, Saguaro National Park East, and Agua Caliente Regional Park as well as plenty of dining, shopping, and entertainment options.
