UA apartments on Park Avenue: what our listings there cost

A search for UA apartments on Park Avenue is a search for one specific street in Tucson. Park Avenue runs along the west side of the University of Arizona campus. This guide shows what we can actually back up from our own listings and points you to the current off-campus listings in Tucson so you can compare real options as you read.

One thing we cannot give you is a walk time. We do not hold walking, cycling or bus times from any address to campus, so this post does not quote any. Every one of our listings carries a Distance by Car field, shown in bands such as under 5 minutes or 5 to 10 minutes, and that is the only travel figure we use.

Begin your search at Off-Campus Universe, where you can browse current listings near Tucson.

Right now you can compare available-now listings such as Hub Tucson First at $1,874/month, plus, for comparison, University Lofts at $1,067/month, Apartment Room at Union on Santa Rita at $799/month, lease take over at the Cottages! at $1,109/month, and Fully Renovated 3BD/2BA Brick Home at $2,100/month. The first is the only one of our current listings whose address is on Park Avenue; the other four are comparisons elsewhere in Tucson.

Park Avenue and comparison listings in Tucson: what the fields show

Hub Tucson First is listed at 1001 N Park Ave. Its record shows 1 bed and 1 bath, furnished, a Distance by Car of under 5 minutes, a lease timing of Aug. 2026-July 2027 and a Year Lease (12 Months). It is marked available now. That is the full set of facts we hold on it, so for anything else, from what the price includes to what the building offers, ask the lister directly.

The comparisons are all marked available now as well. University Lofts is listed with 1 bed and 1 bath, furnished, under 5 minutes by car, a lease timing of Now thru July 2027 and a Year Lease (12 Months). Apartment Room at Union on Santa Rita is listed with 2 beds and 1 bath, furnished, under 5 minutes by car, a lease timing of July2026-July2027 and a Year Lease (12 Months). The listing titled lease take over at the Cottages! shows 5 beds and 5.5 baths, furnished, 5 to 10 minutes by car, a lease timing of aug 2026 - july 2027 and a Year Lease (12 Months). Fully Renovated 3BD/2BA Brick Home is listed as a house with 3 beds and 2 baths, unfurnished, under 5 minutes by car, a start date of 9/10/2026 and a Year Lease (12 Months).

Notice that the bed counts and prices do not line up neatly. A listing with 2 or 5 beds at a price near a 1-bed listing may be priced per bedroom, while a house at a higher figure may be priced for the whole place. The fields do not always say which, so ask before you compare.

For context on what students were posting, a local University of Arizona student housing group had 50 new posts analyzed for Oct 12-16 2026. Across those student posts, the median rent people quoted was $1,200 per person. That number comes from students' own posts, not from our listings, so read it as a sense of what people were asking for, not a market rate. Park Ave was named in 2 of those posts, and 46% of them mentioned furnished housing.

UA apartments on Park Avenue: what we can and cannot tell you

When you search for UA apartments on Park Avenue, the honest answer from our side is short: we currently hold one listing with a Park Avenue address, Hub Tucson First, and it is furnished, a 1-bed, 1-bath listing on a Year Lease (12 Months). We are not going to claim a walk time, describe the building beyond its listing record, or tell you what other Park Avenue properties charge, because we do not have that information.

What you can do is use the street as a starting point and widen the search. The four comparisons above are all marked under 5 minutes or 5 to 10 minutes by car, so you can weigh a Park Avenue address against other options by price, size and lease dates. In the same student group, 54% of the Oct 12-16 posts mentioned a specific term such as spring, fall or a semester, so term-specific posts were common in that group. If a spring start matters to you, filter by lease timing first and location second.

Whichever listing you look at, ask what the rent covers. Furnished can mean a full room set or just a bed, and utilities may be bundled or billed separately. Get both answers in writing so you are comparing like with like.

If the listing is a takeover, like lease take over at the Cottages!, ask the property office whether the transfer needs its approval, whether a fee applies, and whether you must pass its own application. Ask for the full original lease so you know the end date and any renewal rules before you commit.

Timing is worth planning around as well. Every listing above runs on a Year Lease (12 Months), and most show a start in July, August or September 2026, so if you need a place for spring only, ask each lister whether they would consider a shorter term or a sublease of the remaining months. Ask what happens to your deposit when the lease ends, and whether the unit can be renewed in your own name if you want to stay another year.

Finally, keep a written record. Save the listing page, every message with the lister and a copy of anything you sign. If a question about rent, fees or furniture comes up later, those records are what you will rely on.

Tips before you sign near Park Avenue

• Ask whether the listed price is per bedroom or for the whole unit, and what utilities and fees are added on top.

• Map the listing address to the building where most of your classes meet, at the time you would travel, since we do not hold walk or bus times.

• Get a written list of what furnished includes, and photograph the room on move-in day.

• On any takeover, get written approval from the property office and a copy of the original lease before money changes hands.
