This cozy condo on Tucson’s Westside was ripe for refreshment. Situated in Menlo Park, it is adjacent to Tumamoc Hill, Mercado San Agustin, Downtown and the University of Arizona. We refreshed this unit with new paint throughout, resurfaced a bath tub and took care of lots of additional repairs.
This unit had been a somewhat neglected rental unit when we added it to our portfolio. Needing small items from paint and fresh HVAC filters, to tub refinishing, new kitchen faucet, toilet repairs and repair to the sliding glass doors.
Each time this unit is vacant, we have a TON of interest and quality tenants to choose from. Menlo Park is seeing lots of development, perhaps a controversial amount in the wake of the stalled out Rio Nuevo development. But there is no doubt that it is a desirable location in Tucson.
Offering panoramic views of the nearby mountains in three directions, this gorgeous custom home on Tucson’s west-side sits on 1.3 acres. Whole home was recently updated in with new wood-look tile throughout, stacked stone fireplace, updated cabinets and new fixtures. Since Blue Topaz acquired this project, we have upped the level of luxury with a beautiful custom pool and spa from Presidential Pools and smart home features inside and out.
Additionally we converted an existing carport to an oversized one-car garage featuring rustic look garage door. Garage is complete with ample powered workshop space. Desert appropriate landscaping complete with irrigation, low-voltage lighting and a custom triangle shaped pergola makes this ranch-style home a real sanctuary. Just two miles from I-10, when the coyotes howl late at night or when you see a pack of javelina cross the road, you’ll feel like you’re in a desert oasis.
Blue Topaz Properties seeks to add value to all of our projects and ensure they return revenue for our investors. A recent appraisal raised this homes value 40% compared to previous sale price from 2017!

Tucson is divided up into distinct neighborhoods, or Barrios. These neighborhoods make up a rich tapestry in Southern Arizona across indigenous communities, hispanic strongholds and early west settlements. When prefaced with “barrio” the community was historically hispanic.
Barrio Hollywood is an area on the West side of Tucson. Speedway Blvd to the north, Silverbell Rd to the west, St. Mary’s Rd to the south and the Santa Cruz River to the east. This neighborhood dates back to the 1930s when it was so poor that locals starting calling it “Hollywood” as a joke in contrast to the wealth of Hollywood proper. In the early days of this barrio, many homes were simple adobe houses with dirt yards. One resident told me that Tucson’s oldest home was actually located here, although, I’m not so sure… La Casa Cordova is *literally* inside the Presidio wall.
Barrio Hollywood is known for the local cuisine. Grande Ave is dotted by some of Tucson’s oldest local eats such as Pat’s Chili Dogs and Tanias 33 as well as some of the Barrio’s newest places such as Barista del Barrio and Taco Giro.
Today the neighborhood is in a state of transition, with some infill projects being completed in recent years. The neighborhood association voted in 2015 to limit the influence of business owners who do not live directly in the neighborhood. Just north of Menlo Park which has seen sizable change and gentrification, this barrio is once again considered a desirable location on Tucson’s West Side.
Taking a walk through the barrio today highlights that it remains a working class neighborhood that still struggles with the title of “Barrio Hollywood.” Residents are proud of their homes, kids still ride their bikes around and in the afternoon you’ll hear the chimes of the local ice cream truck making its rounds. Homes are brightly colored, but the sense of community is vibrant.
Blue Topaz Properties proudly owns property in Barrio Hollywood and Menlo Park. We are actively searching for more. We love these neighborhoods and wish to see them thrive. Please reach out if you interested in selling your home in Barrio Hollywood.
