Central Tucson has a plethora of homes with guest houses or guest
quarters. These properties come in all price ranges and conditions. For
the most part they are older homes and often have been "grandfathered"
in so some aspects of how the guest house is being used may not
actually meet the up to date legal criteria for a "guest house." These
properties really have to be considered on a case by case basis.
Among other things a great plus for a house with guest house,
especially near the University is that guest houses are often rented
out. They are also great for extended family and friends.
