Homes for Sale in Southeast Rio Rico, AZ

Rio Rico Southeast is a mixed-use district and one of four districts in the census-designated place of Rio Rico, Arizona.

 

The district features the busy industrial sections in the central portion of the city and a vast dedicated residential section that extends to the eastern edges of the community. Rio Rico Southeast is a fantastic option for busy professionals who prefer a relatively short drive from the primary business centers in Rio Rico and Nogales.

  • INDUSTRIAL PARK: Rio Rico Southeast features a well-established business park situated between the railroad line and Interstate-19. These facilities are used mostly for logistics, cold storage, and office space. Most of these buildings are used by businesses that cater to the large trade industry that passes to and from the border of Mexico. 
  • THRIVING HOUSING MARKET: Although the smallest of the four districts in Rio Rico, Rio Rico Southeast homes are some of the most sought-after real estate options in the region. Households in this district enjoy easy access to the nearby industrial park and are a short drive away from Nogales.
  • BEAUTIFUL HOMES: Rio Rico Southeast features a selection of well-built suburban single-family homes. Sections of the district built on the easternmost hillsides feature breathtaking views of the region’s surrounding desert landscapes, which stretch all the way to the scenic mountainsides of the Santa Cruz Valley.
