Sahuarita (Tucson, Oro Valley: real estate, gated, houses)

[HomeBound10]

Hello,

My family and I are planning on moving to Arizona in late '09 early '10. We want to live near Tucson but feel from research that the inner city is too crime-ridden and not very established. We already live in a city like that and do not want to live in another. We are currently looking into the suburbs of Tucson. So far we are really interested in Oro Valley, which is a bit expensive as well as Sahuarita. Sahuarita seems to be a decent place and after doing real estate searches as well as using the info from city-data.com it seems like a family-friendly place. Problem is though we want to live in a nice suburb but not in a gated community. We came across a good amount of houses they are in Rancho Sahuarita, which is I am not mistaken, a gated community. We came across a few reasonable priced homes as well.

I was wondering if anyone had any info on Sahuarita that would help us or any info that may help us choose a better family-friendly city in the suburbs of Tucson.

Here are our preferences.

Single family home.
Low crime rate.
Home priced between 100,000 and 175,000.
Not in a gated community.
3 bedrooms and 2 baths.
Family-friendly neighborhood.
Family includes: Mother (49), Father (50), Daughter (16). There is also a possibility of our other daughter and granddaughter coming with us. Our other daughter is 20 and our granddaughter is one. By the time we move we will be basically 1-2 years older than the ages listed, depending on when we move.

Sahuarita is considered Tucson. Search the Tucson forum. It's been discussed before.
