Please come back on September 22 to read and comment on the draft plan.


The majority of Oro Valley’s existing housing stock is single-family residences with roughly 14% being traditional apartment units. With limited land remaining, the community strives to balance the preference for single-family homes with the need for other housing types to meet the needs of current and future residents.


Residents value home ownership. Other priorities guiding this part of the Plan include:

  • Providing more housing options like townhomes and condos
  • Focusing apartment complex development to areas along major roadways with access to shops, services, and facilities
  • Providing a range of housing options and prices for seniors, families, and workers

The guiding principle provides the foundation for building goals, policies, and action. It represents the desires of our community.

Strive for a diverse mix of housing options:

  • Foster the development of a variety of housing types and price ranges to increase attainable housing options for workers, seniors, and families.
  • Balance the desire for single-family homes with the need for townhomes, condos, and patio homes.
  • Limit construction of new high-density apartment communities to selective areas with access to shops, services, facilities, and major roadways.
