10 Wealthiest Neighborhoods in Arizona

10) Oro Valley

Just north of Catalina Foothills (#4), Oro Valley sits on the cusp of the Catalina State Park. The majority of the 44,000 residents live rather comfortably with a median household income of $76,000. The state park is loaded with canyons, streams, and foothills, providing residents with excellent and accessible hiking, camping, picnicking, horseback riding and bird watching opportunities. Hikers and mountain bikers also get their fix with 200 acres of trails in Naranja Park. Oro Valley hosts the Tucson area’s most famous farmers’ market, selling everything from homemade empanadas to exotic fruits, local meats, and soaps. Oro Valley boasts excellent schools with the town’s average test scores soaring high above the state and national averages. Popular with wealthy retirees, Oro Valley is a peaceful, safe place that’s well maintained by the city. However, it’s a pricey place to purchase a home with the median price around $367,000.
