Rio Mercado Apartments - Unclaimed

Cherry Avenue is a South Tucson residential area in the broad, sun-baked Sonoran Desert setting, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Its character is shaped by nearby Tucson International Airport and the region’s long history, visible in Tucson’s blend of Indigenous, Spanish, Mexican and newer influences. Local streets connect to neighborhood parks and everyday shops, while larger retail options and restaurants are available along South Sixth Avenue and nearby commercial corridors. Expect casual Mexican and Southwestern dining, takeout spots and independent coffee options rather than a concentrated nightlife district. The area is practical for getting around by car, with Sun Tran bus service offering another option; Tucson’s broader trail network and desert scenery are within reach for outdoor outings. For the area covered by ZIP code 85706, the median rent is $1,195 per month, with a typical range of $200 to $2,150, based on 88 active listings.
