Welcome to Coyote Springs

Your 55+ Lifestyle Destination

Coyote Springs is a master-planned active-adult neighborhood nestled along the scenic Tanque Verde Wash on Tucson’s east side. Developed in the early 2000s, this gated 55+ enclave spans over 500 acres of desert foothills and rolling terrain. Thoughtfully designed single-level ranch homes, patio villas, and paired residences are clustered around lush landscape and neighborhood parks, each offering private courtyards and low-maintenance yards crafted for desert living.

At the heart of Coyote Springs lies the state-of-the-art Recreation Center, complete with resort-style pools, fitness studios, hobby rooms, and casual gathering spaces. A nine-hole executive golf course—Coyote Springs Golf & Country Club—welcomes players of all skill levels, framed by views of Ruddy Peak and the Tortolita Mountains. With more than 50 clubs—including ceramics, water aerobics, gardening, and volunteer service—neighbors quickly form lasting friendships. Conveniently located off Tanque Verde Road, Coyote Springs provides easy access to Banner University Medical Center, retail at Park Place Mall, and outdoor adventures in Saguaro National Park, blending serene desert living with modern convenience.
