Tucson is a beautiful community, but just like any other, we do have crime.  Since I can't really address the areas where it occurs, I can refer you to the Tucson Police Department's website where you can look it up by zip code, address, etc.  Then decide what area you want to focus on to purchase your home.  For all your Real Estate needs in Tucson and surrounding areas, call me at 520 861 1841, or email, doloresjohnston@longrealty.com.

Thank you for your interest in the Tucson Market. Like any major city we do have crime. You can easily research crime in different cities by checking out these websites. http://www.felonspy.com/search.html   or  http://cms3.tucsonaz.gov/police/stats 

There are plenty of sites to search .  We are from the East Coast Jersey area and have been here for 10 years. We absolutely love it. Little hot(but not as bad as Phoenix) Wonderful in the Winter.

 

If you need some detailed information contact me. Patrick Thurlow at 520-241-2427

Unfortunately Tucson's close proximity to the Mexican border brings higher crime rates. Drug cartels have made it unadvisable to visit the beautiful beaches of Mexico ie. Rocky Point. Car theft especially pick up trucks are stolen and exported to Mexico at increased rates thus resulting in higher insurance premiums. I purchased a home here in  a nice community Continental Ranch on the once desirable NW side. Due to numerous foreclosures, short sales and more specifically rental homes, crime in my neighborhood is at unprecedented levels. Illegals are inhabiting our homes establishing marijuana "drop houses", graffiti and vehicle break ins are now commonplace. In retrospect, I would personally look for homes in the state of Texas where values are affordable and cities like Austin, San Antonio and the Dallas area offer a much higher quality of life.
