Continental Ranch: The Ultimate 2025 Guide

Table of Contents

Community

It’s not just another subdivision—it’s a master-planned community with real personality and deep roots in the Marana lifestyle.

Similar to Gladden Farms, Continental Ranch is a great option to consider—whether you’re relocating, upsizing, downsizing, or just ready for a change of pace with room to grow. This neighborhood brings that hard-to-find Arizona lifestyle so many people are looking for.

Let’s take a walk through everything that makes this one of the most desirable areas in Southern Arizona.

EVENTS

The Continental Ranch Community Association (CRCA) is known for hosting fun, well-attended events throughout the year.

You’ll find:

  • Food truck nights
  • Summer pool parties and movie nights
  • Holiday activities
  • Neighborhood yard sales

Location

You’ll notice this community is perfectly placed where Tucson meets Marana, just off I-10 and Twin Peaks Road. That means you’re close enough to downtown Tucson for an easy commute, but tucked away in a peaceful pocket where desert sunsets and mountain views steal the show.

You get the best of both worlds—quick access to city life, and the connected vibe of a suburban community.

Amenities

Living in this community means everyday convenience is always close by. Whether you’re grabbing groceries, swinging through your favorite coffee shop, or heading out for dinner at a local Mexican or Italian restaurant, everything you need is just a short drive away. The nearby outlet mall offers a mix of brand-name stores and local finds, and Downtown Tucson is only about 20–25 minutes from your doorstep.

Residents enjoy access to two private community pools and the Continental Ranch community center. Parks are thoughtfully spread throughout the neighborhood, featuring playgrounds, grassy picnic areas, basketball courts, and dog-friendly spots. The Town of Marana also maintains the large Continental Ranch Community Park, which includes baseball fields, tennis and pickleball courts, a horseshoe pit, a skate park, and more.

If you’re into the outdoors, you’ll love being near The Loop Trail, El Rio Preserve, Quarry Pines Golf Club and Saguaro National Park West. Hiking, biking, and golfing are always within easy reach.
