The "View Tax" in Sabino Springs

Not All Neighbors are Equal.
Sabino Springs is a tiered market. In subdivisions like Sterling Springs, homes trade in the $350k – $400k range. Yet, just up the street in Sabino View or Fairway Heights, active listings command $650k to over $1.15M.

Why the gap? It comes down to two things: The View and The Course. If your agent prices your view lot based on the sales down the hill, you could lose thousands. We value the lot utility, not just the square footage.

Sabino Springs FAQ

Is membership to Arizona National included?
Arizona National is a public course, meaning homeowners do not have mandatory membership fees like some private clubs. However, residents enjoy the benefit of the restaurant and course proximity without the monthly dues.
What is the difference between Sterling Springs and the rest?
