Marana is a friendly, fast-growing desert community northwest of Tucson that’s ideal for multi-week stays—think easygoing neighborhoods, year‑round sunshine, desert hikes in the Tortolita foothills, several golf courses, local breweries and a laid-back food scene for relaxing evenings after shifts.
You’re also just a short drive from Tucson and nearby Oro Valley, so when you want bigger-city museums, diverse dining, live music or major medical centers it’s all within 20–40 minutes.
