You know the saying “now you see it . . ..now you don’t”? Well, how about the opposing idea? Now don’t see it . . .now you do”? And that’s how Continental Ranch came into being. Homes, churches, shops, stores, restaurants and businesses were there almost overnight. Instant city.

Continental Ranch is what is known as a Master Planned Community. Kind of like the way a magician places a cloth over a table and when he removes it, the table is completely set, even down to the salt and pepper shakers. It’s located in Marana northwest of Tucson and near the north end of the Tucson Mountains which are featured dramatically in many of our sunset photos. Look for Sombrero Peak as you admire the rugged skyline.

According to the Tucson MLS, Continental Ranch homes for sale range from about $100,000 to over $300,000 and are one and two story single family residences. Continental Ranch is made up of a large diverse group of people from retired folk, many of whom live in the Sunflower subdivision which is for 55 and over, to singles just starting out on their own to families with needs for children. All have contributed to the wonderful mix that makes the community work so well.

The Marana Unified School District services the Continental Ranch families. 11279 W. Grier Road, Marana Arizona 85653, (520) 682-3243.

Youth sports are big in Continental Ranch. Pools, parks, soccer and other sports are available. The community is proud to have one of Tucson’s few skateboard parks. Shopping centers, theaters and restaurants complete the picture of a vibrant community and a comfortable place to live.

Until recently, the drive into Tucson was a serious problem as the area was growing faster than the roads could be improved. Currently the state is winding down a several year I-10 expansion and improvement. New bridges are being put in as well as improved roadway arteries leading to the freeway. The Twin Peaks interchange and the bridge over the Santa Cruz River will be completed in late 2010 or early 2011. This will give easy access to the north end of Continental Ranch.
