Our environment, the beauty and diversity of the Sonoran Desert is just one of the reasons that we love living in Milagro.

The Nature Preserve

Milagro is the most spacious Tucson cohousing community. Every resident has free access to our 35 acres of undeveloped open space. Here you can contemplate amazing views, watch the dramatic changing of the desert seasons, meet the wildlife of the Sonoran Desert, exercise, or meditate in the midst of nature. Most of the time, you’ll have it all to yourself.

The Common House

At the heart of the community sits the 3600 square foot Common House. Much of it consists of a spacious hall for meeting or eating. There is a library room for reading or small gatherings, a kids’ playroom, a large well-equipped kitchen, storage rooms, laundry room and drying yard, and a large-screen TV mostly used for movies. The Common House is surrounded on three sides by paved patio areas shaded by trees or awnings.

The Swimming Pool

Our kid-friendly solar heated pool is 40 x 16 feet and no deeper than 4 ft. It’s very popular in the summer months but we close it down for the coldest months to save energy costs.

Gardens

The main walkway between our two rows of houses is flanked by gardens maintained and enjoyed by the community as a whole. There are flowers, trees for shade and fruit, a central lawn and play structures for the kids.

The Workshop

A large enclosed garage serves as a tool store and work area for carpentry and maintenance projects.

 

 

 

Accessibility

All common areas are wheelchair accessible. Three houses are directly accessible by car. For the rest, our electric-powered car is always available for transporting furniture and other heavy items between homes and parking area.
