Renting Retail Space in Sam Hughes

Sam Hughes remains the "Academic Heart" of Tucson. Located adjacent to the University of Arizona, it is currently characterized by its historic bungalows and high rental demand from faculty and students. In early 2026, it is ranked as a "No-Brainer" investment zone due to its unwavering occupancy rates and long-term stability (Source: ASREB / 1912 Realty). 2026 represents the year of "Stable Cash Flow." As interest rates settle in the low 6% range, the competition for character homes in Sam Hughes is intensifying. It is the top choice for buyers who want an "Old Pueblo" feel with a guaranteed floor for property values, anchored by the university’s multi-billion dollar economic impact.
