While Downtown Tucson is unique in its blend of historic architecture and revitalised urban spaces, the neighbourhoods of Mercado District and Armory Park offer similar characteristics and might appeal to those who enjoy Downtown's feel.

The Mercado District, located just west of Downtown across the Santa Cruz River, offers a contemporary take on traditional Sonoran Desert architecture.

This area is particularly well-suited for couples looking for a relaxed, picturesque setting with easy access to Downtown's attractions via the modern streetcar.

Armory Park, situated immediately south-east of Downtown, is one of Tucson's oldest residential areas. It's known for its well-preserved Victorian and Sonoran-style homes, many of which date back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The streets are shaded by mature trees, and the neighbourhood has a quiet, established feel. For those who appreciate historic architecture and a more residential atmosphere while still being within walking distance of Downtown's amenities, Armory Park is an excellent choice.
