Plaza Del Oro Apartments for Rent

Plaza Del Oro is a condominium community nestled in the Casas Adobes district in the foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains north of downtown Tucson, Arizona. It is a desert community featuring cactus, desert palms and other desert vegetation. Great views of the nearby mountains are a feature here.

There are several public, Catholic and Christian schools in the area.

Several great places to eat are nearby, including the very highly rated Jax Kitchen.

Golfers will love the easy access to top local courses, including the Quail Canyon Golf Course. The Pusch Ridge Course is at the very base of the mountains.

A favorite hotel and resort location is the Westward Look Resort. It features spectacular views of both the mountains and the desert and has two highly-rated restaurants.

The Santa Catalina Mountains are the biggest draw here. You can hike, bike, climb, camp, go horseback riding or simply find a place to watch a spectacular sunset.

Also nearby is the Valley of the Moon. It was built in the 1920s and caters especially to kids. It has caves, pools, mineralized rock cliffs and miniature gardens that blend in with the natural vegetation of the desert.
