Community guide
The Canyons
at Finger Rock
A guard-gated custom-home community set high beneath one of Tucson’s defining landmarks.
Central Catalina Foothills
The community at a glance
Dramatic terrain is not a backdrop here. It is the architecture’s starting point.
The Canyons at Finger Rock sits at the north end of Alvernon Way, high in the central Catalina Foothills. Steep mountain terrain, native Sonoran Desert vegetation, rock formations, and long views give the community a strong sense of separation from the city below.
Homes and homesites are individually designed, and the land itself is a major part of each property’s character. Elevation can bring remarkable outlooks, but it also makes site planning and due diligence especially important.
