Tucson, Arizona<\/a>, has a number of great neighborhoods one could choose to live in. Overall, the city is considered
\nto be economical and pollution-free to a great extent. Crime rate is an issue but only in certain parts of the city. Therefore, it is important that you know the 5 best neighborhoods in Tucson so you don\u2019t end up living in an unsafe or undesirable neighborhood.
\n<\/br><\/p>\nIron Horse<\/h2>\n
One of the most popular areas in Tucson, Iron Horse is the place to live if you want easy access to amenities and facilities, including groceries, fuel and other necessities. You don\u2019t even need a car to get to most places in the main market there. The cost of living and quality of housing and education in the neighborhood are top notch. However, the crime rate is a tad high, making it unsafe to venture out at night. To say that Iron Horse is the food hub of Tucson won\u2019t be wrong. Enjoy the wonderful cuisine on offer at great prices at Peking Palace, Rocco\u2019s Little Chicago Pizzeria and Crossroads Restaurant among others.
\n<\/br><\/p>\n
Pie Allen<\/h2>\n
Like Iron Horse, Pie Allen also provides easy access to the basic amenities you need on a daily basis. It is quite similar to Iron Horse in terms of quality of life on offer but the crime rate here is equally high. The food you will find here is easy on the pocket. Among the foremost eateries are Lindy\u2019s Diner on 4th, Che Lounge, and Bison Witches Bar & Deli. If you are in the mood for something exotic, head out to the Indian restaurant Anjali.
\n<\/br><\/p>\n
West University<\/h2>\n
West University’s crime rate is comparatively lower than other cities in Arizona. The amenities may not be at walking distance but you don\u2019t have to commute too far to find them. Housing and education in the area are great as well. Variety is the name of the game when talking about restaurants in this neighborhood. You will find Indian kebabs at Kababeque or if you want a pizza, you can go to the Brooklyn Pizza Company. Johnny Rockets also has an outlet in the area.
\n<\/br><\/p>\n
Ocotillo Oracle<\/h2>\n
Ocotillo Oracle is a small and peaceful neighborhood of Tucson. Public safety is a concern here as well and the quality of education isn\u2019t ideal. Yet, you are more likely to find a job here than in any of the neighborhoods listed above. Amenities are available easily and the cost of living is also great. The Wildcat House and Eegee\u2019s remain the two most popular places for eating out.
\nArmory Park
\nArmory Park is the best of the lot in terms of safety. The crime rate here is lower than other neighborhoods in Tucson. The other major factors, including education, cost of living and housing are at par with Ocotillo Oracle, making this an ideal choice for people looking to relocate to Tucson. As far as food is concerned, Armory Park has its fair share of great options like Lalos Raspados, Caf\u00e9 Desta, and the Barrio Brewing Co.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
