A new housing development being proposed on the city’s west side has raised concerns for some neighbors in the surrounding area, who worry it will be densely packed, will block their views and won’t fit in with the long-established home styles nearby.
KB Home’s Tucson division sent out a notice Sept. 9 to homeowners in the Santiago Hills neighborhood area that it was “under contract” to purchase 19 acres of property on West St. Mary’s Road, about a half mile west of Silverbell.
The plan is to develop a subdivision of 129 two-story, single-family homes featuring three and four bedrooms and two-car garages, the notice said. The subdivision will also include “open space/recreation areas” and landscaped borders around its perimeter, according to the notice.
