Plentiful onsite parking in the secured fenced property.

Reach Rancho Hermoso easily off the freeway frontage road south of the Congress St exit, just turn right on 18th St to Kroeger Ln and your destination. Enjoy quick car access along I-10, into downtown, 4th Avenue & University areas, and across town on Aviation Highway (210).

Prefer to walk or bike? The Santa Cruz River loop runs just behind the property (access from the 19th street park), taking you north or south through town, or arrive quickly at stops for the Modern Street Car (Trolley) and the San Augustin Mercado district with multiple dining and shopping options.

While not onsite, we are available 24/7 for your needs and have local staff available to come onsite if needed.

Rancho Hermoso lies in the unique and exclusive niche neighborhood of Barrio Kroeger Lane, surrounded by historic Menlo Park, just minutes on foot from Mercado San Augustine and the Modern Street Car, and backing up to the Santa Cruz River loop, a favorite for biking, running, or hiking through its 53.9 miles of paved pathways along both sides of the Santa Cruz River and connecting with the Rillito, Pantano, Harrison Greenway and Julian Wash.

With easy access just off I-10, you're steps way from one of the best taquerias in town (Sonoran Delights with the fabled Sonoran Hotdog, authentic tacos and dinners, Raspados and Escamoches!), the Mercado San Augustine and it's MNA Annex with multiple restaurants, stores, and bike rentals. Plus with the modern street car a 10-minute walk away you're connected to all that's cool about Tucson and it's Downtown, 4th Ave and University Districts.

This sliver of a neighborhood enjoys being peacefully surrounded by undeveloped land on two sides, and the Santa Cruz wash on the third. The few neighbors here are primarily long time home owning families on their own generous lots.

Barrio Kroeger Lane Neighborhood is located below Sentinel Peak-- "A" Mountain-- along the Santa Cruz River, De Anza Trail, and across from the original birthplace of Chuk Shon (Tucson in the Tohono O'odham language). This land has been inhabited and cultivated for more than four-thousand years, and remains with a rural environment of horse/farm animals, wildlife corridor, and gardening. Families have lived in the same area for up to six generations, with stories of the flowing river and the continuation of horseback riding along the river banks much as Padre Kino did centuries ago.

Rancho Hermoso is easily reached off the I-10 Freeway Frontage Rd. There is plentiful free onsite parking inside the fenced property. The Santa Cruz River Loop provides pedestrian or bike access to nearby Mercado San Augustin and trolley & bus stops, as well as major cross streets and connecting to Rillito, Pantano & other river park pathways.
