Marana has transformed from its roots in agriculture to a
diverse community with shopping, residential and industrial
centers. With nearly 120 square miles and only 26,000 residents,
there is a lot of room for Marana to grow!
Some
people move to Marana for its close proximity to Tucson and the
amenities a big city has to offer; however, others choose to
locate here because of the small-town lifestyle and the many
treasures found within Marana. Marana’s elevation is listed as
2,000 feet but it has a varied landscape with areas nestled in
mountain ranges, along riverbanks and in the desert.
Whether you choose
city life or the quiet rural lifestyle, Marana has the location
you are seeking.
