In-Depth Neighborhood Guide – Dove Mountain, Marana, Arizona

Dove Mountain is a master-planned community in Marana, Arizona that's located about 30 minutes North of downtown Tucson, Arizona.  Dove Mountain is an absolutely lovely community that's conveniently located near many amenities. 

The original Dove Mountain plans, submitted in March of 2000, had many area residents up in arms about the destruction of the natural desert environment.  The Dove Mountain Specific Plan originally covered a little over 6200 acres and was approved for 9157 residential lots and commercial areas.  The plan has been amended several times since its initial approval.

Cottonwood Properties developed Dove Mountain and still controls Dove Mountain Community Association. Within Dove Mountain are 16 subdivisions.  That number has changed throughout the years and continues to change as the community fills in.  Respect for the Sonoran Desert shows throughout the entire master-planned community.  The developer made a commitment to developing Dove Mountain responsibly. 

The subdivisions throughout Dove Mountain each have a different “feel” and general price point.  At the high end of the prince range within Dove Mountain is Canyon Pass which is a custom home community.  Prices in Canyon Pass currently run in the millions.  However, one can find homes priced in the $300Ks within Dove Mountain.  All of the communities within Dove Mountain are very nice and afford residents a lovely and safe community.

Future construction is planned within Dove Mountain, but costs have risen and therefore prices of completed homes have gone up significantly.  This may slow future development which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
