The Villages of Rio Rico

Rio Rico ("rich river") is a planned community located in Santa Cruz County, 57 miles south of Tucson and 12 miles north of Mexico. The community's 39,000 acres roll gently down from the Santa Rita Mountains through the San Cayetano Foothills westward to the Santa Cruz River. Rio Rico offers a broad range of community facilities including a park, a recreation center, children's playground, riding stables, one swim-ming pool, one 18-hole golf course, a little league baseball park, and several basketball, tennis, shuffleboard and racquetball courts.
