In the Greater Tucson Metropolitan Area, one community stands out as the premier place to live. That place is the commuity of Catalina in the northern Tucson area in Pima County.

Set in the foothills of the beautiful Catalina Mountains, the unincorporated community of Catalina has long attracted many people due to the sheer beauty of its surrounding environment. Consequently, Catalina is now home to some of the most wealthy and famous people in the state and country. The community's highlands set the scene for three of Arizona's most affluent resorts.

Although Catalina may seem like an exclusive kind of community, that is not the case. The sheer size of the area caters to a large and ecclectic population. Housing options are just as diverse ranging from the impressive estates previously mentioned to many apartment buildings, condominium complexes, and a wide variety of houses.

For the outdoor enthusiast, Catalina is an ideal place to launch of for practically any outdoor activity you can imagine. The nearby Coronado National Forest and Catalina State Park are gorgeous locations where one can find peace and solitude. Also, the city of Tucson is only 25 miles south, and the state capitol of Phoenix is about 90 miles northwest if you care for the attractions of the big city.
