Tucson is a bustling college town, Arizona’s second-largest city, with distinct neighborhoods and 19th-century buildings that give it a rich sense of community and history. One of the most culturally invigorating places in the Southwest, Tucson is set in a flat valley surrounded by craggy, oddly shaped mountains. Spanish slides easily off most tongues and high-quality Mexican restaurants abound since more than 20% of the population is of Mexican or Central American descent. Population: 520,116 as of the 2010 United States Census.

Housing costs: Nearly equal to the national average, the median home cost in Tucson is $142,200.
Colleges and Universities: One of over 100 Osher Lifelong Learning Institutes that have been established throughout the United States, OLLI at the University of Arizona is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide individuals age 50 and older an opportunity to be a constructive participant in the academic community.
Transportation:Tucson International Airport provides commercial air service. Amtrak has trains to Los Angeles, and Sun Tran buses serve metropolitan Tucson.
