Things To Do In Tucson
# 16 The Lights of Tucson

One of the things I like to do for new clients, especially coming from other cities, is take them to see the lights of Tucson.

From Campbell and Sunrise/Skyline (La Encantada Mall is there) go North on Campbell to the end and make the circle (don't go through the guard gate).

As you come around the circle you can see almost all of Tucson, from mountain range to mountain range.  The glittering lights are beautiful.

For buyers who own a home, this is a great program to help you purchase a bigger home and take advantage of the tax credit if you are eligible.
