Your apartment in Tucson between desert and skyscrapers

The defining landscape around your apartment in Tucson is the Sedona Desert, which spreads out on a plateau surrounded by numerous mountain ranges in the southwest of the USA. The current urban area was inhabited more than 12,000 years ago by Paleo-Indians who took water from the Santa Cruz River to farm. Today, the river is largely dried up and carries water only during the short summer monsoon. It was not until the University of Arizona was founded in 1885 that the economic rise of the once sleepy desert city began. Today, Tucson is one of the leading technology centers in the USA. Well-known companies such as IBM, Bombardier and Texas Instruments maintain important branches here and work closely with the technical universities. One of the most famous sights is the Old Pueblo Trolley, a historic tram that makes its way through modern city canyons almost like a foreign body every weekend, taking students from the university to the 4th Avenue entertainment mile. Outside the city, you will find Biosphere 2. The declared goal is to create a completely self-sufficient living environment, completely independent of the outside world. NASA hopes to gain insights into how humans could survive permanently on the moon. But real Western fans know only one destination in the desert: the famous Old Tucson Studios. Numerous famous Wild West films and series have been shot here since 1939, including “Our Little Farm”.

East of the capital Phoenix you will find numerous private Holiday Apartments in Mesa, the third largest city in Arizona. Although Mesa has only about 440,000 inhabitants, it is the largest city in the USA with about 330 km². This is also due to the fact that there are hardly any skyscrapers in Mesa. Here, extensive settlements with countless single-family houses dominate. The inhabitants attach great importance to privacy, whereby Couchsurfing is hardly spread in Mesa. The Mesa Historical Museum gives an insight into the past and exhibits numerous finds of the Hohokam culture. It created the most complex irrigation system in the New World and was able to make a living from agriculture despite the barren desert landscapes. If you drive south along the coast, you will find numerous private apartments in Baja California Sur, Mexico.
