If you are searching for condos on the Rillito River in Tucson, Placita Escondida is your answer — and right now it is the only new construction option available.

 

Own a 1-bedroom home from $1,497/month or a 2-bedroom from $2,143/month using our builder financing at 4.99% fixed for 30 years*. FHA financing is available with as little as 3.5% down*. No resale surprises, no inherited repairs. Just a brand new home sitting directly on the river.

​

Placita Escondida is a gated new construction condo community located at River and Campbell in central Tucson, positioned directly on the Rillito River Trail and the Tucson Loop. Step outside your front door and you are on miles of paved trail for walking, running, and biking. St. Philip's Plaza and Trader Joe's are within walking distance. The University of Arizona is minutes away. This is central Tucson living with immediate trail access — a combination that does not exist anywhere else in new construction in this city.

​

Every home at Placita Escondida is move-in ready with a full builder warranty. Your HOA covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, pool, water, sewer, and trash — meaning zero surprise repair bills and no yard work. For buyers who want to walk out the door and onto the trail without spending a weekend on home maintenance, this is the only product in Tucson built specifically for that lifestyle. When you compare the true cost of ownership — no maintenance, no repairs, builder financing versus a standard mortgage — the numbers make a compelling case. A comparable resale home at 7% financing costs significantly more per month with none of the warranty protection.

​

Placita Escondida offers 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom floor plans in a gated community with a pool, covered parking, and direct Rillito River Trail access. Homes are available now and move-in ready. Builder financing at 4.99%* is available for a limited time. FHA approved with 3.5% down options available through our preferred lender*.
