About This Home

Second largest residence in 1880s adobe courtyard compound-Ochoa Court, this is a rare opportunity to own one of just nine units in the heart of historic Barrio Viejo, close to downtown Tucson. The one bedroom, one bath L-shaped corner unit is fully within the gated complex and semi-detached, providing added privacy. The unit's well-designed layout offers light and openness, and a kitchen designed for workflow and usability. High ceilings with exposed beams, thick adobe walls, and scored concrete floors w brick accents create texture and depth throughout. The shared courtyard--lush, shaded, gated, and fully maintained--lives like a private front yard and is usable year-round for entertaining. Off-street parking. HOA covers exterior of unit, roof, sewer, water, common areas Originally part of a late 1800s adobe courtyard compound, restored by master Tucson builder and preservationist David Carter, Ochoa Court is a small, intimate enclave of just nine residences centered around a beautifully maintained shared courtyard. The scale and setting create a sense of calm that feels quietly tucked away - something precious to find this close to downtown. This residence is an L-shaped corner unit, attached on one side, allowing for added light and openness. The layout is efficient and comfortable, with a roomy kitchen design that offers flow and usability. The courtyard is a defining feature-- mature mesquite and pomegranate trees provide full shade, creating a peaceful, usable outdoor space that feels like a natural extension of the home--ideal for everyday living, quiet gatherings, or simply time outdoors. The HOA supports a low-maintenance lifestyle, covering exterior of the unit, roof repair and replacement, sewer, water, and common area maintenance--well suited for a lock-and-leave option if desired. The property also offers flexibility in how it can be used--comfortable as a full-time residence, a second home, or held as a long-term investment. From this Barrio Viejo location in downtown Tucson, you're moments from local restaurants, theaters, and the streetcar, with easy access to the Tucson Convention Center, Five Points, Teatro Carmen, A Mountain, Tumamoc Hill, The Loop, and the Star Pass trail system.
