Old Tucson Nightfall is one of the many iconic events in the Old Pueblo. It combines the best of theater and showmanship with the Wild West spirit that Old Tucson inspires so, so well. If, like me, you haven’t been in a few years, be sure to gather some friends together and visit Old Tucson Nightfall next Halloween!
When and Where is Old Tucson Nightfall?
To get to Old Tucson Studios, drive on West Ajo Way and take a right on S. Kinney Road. You can also take Speedway to W. Gates Pass Road, depending on where you are in town. Enjoy the scenery for a bit and you’ll see the famed Old Tucson Studios stretched out in front of you, among the hills and cacti.
Old Tucson Studios is always a great time, with amazing shows, interactive exhibits, and the feel of an old western town. However, Nightfall brings a little different feeling to the once sleepy town. Running every evening for over a month, starting on September 29th and going until Halloween, each night brings a new opportunity to experience a Good ‘Ole Horror Show!
What Can I Expect in Old Tucson Nightfall?
The first thing that caught me off guard about Old Tucson Nightfall was the sheer scale. I didn’t remember Old Tucson Studios being so immense! Once inside, there are activities and spectacles as far as the eye can see. Nightfall incorporates both the back and front movie studio lots, offering a ton of space for the festivities.
The next thing that struck me was the amount of attractions being offered up. It’s impossible to see everything in one night! There is just so much to do and experience, from the haunts to the scary stagecoach ride, that you really have to go to see for yourself.
What Are The Stage Shows Like?
There are a ton of shows going on at different times, so be sure to check with your schedule to make sure you get to everything you want. I recommend the Stage Saloon Horror Show, which was a real blast. I took it as an amalgamation of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and Dr. Who, it was exciting and campy and very, very funny.
Another show that struck me was in the back lot, set in front of a diner entitled “Eddies”. It was a slick production, complete with excellent makeup and cinema-worthy special effects. It was also disturbing. Like, don’t bring your kids disturbing. I found it odd that there were no disclaimers before the show, even though different attractions had signs posted alerting parents when their discretion is advised.
PRO TIP – Catch the show if you can, but leave the kiddies to wander around elsewhere.
Is There Anything to Eat in Old Tucson Nightfall?
Thanks to the full restaurant at Old Tucson Studios, there is plenty to eat and drink in Old Tucson Nightfall. The most popular fare was the Roasted Corn and the Sausage on a Stick. I am usually not one to wait around in a line while there are activities happening all around me, but the Roasted Corn alone was worth it. There are also numerous food stands set up throughout the park. So you don’t have to go to far to find your next Sausage-on-a-Stick!
What Else is in Old Tucson Nightfall?
There is too much to fit in this article. You get the haunted stage coaches, you get the spooky western gun fights, with people flying off buildings and huge explosions. There is a winding, dusty trail in the back lot, haunted with all types of ghouls and goblins. And that’s just the beginning!
Get out to Old Tucson Nightfall next Halloween season to see what all the fuss is about. If, like me, you haven’t been in a few years, prepare to be amazed. Just watch out for the kiddies, there is some scary stuff in Nightfall at Old Tucson!

Buying a loft in Tucson Arizona can be difficult because there are so few lofts for sale. Today, I thought I would give you a few tips if you really want to buy a loft.
Tip #1: Get On My List!
We keep a running list of all buyers who are actively looking for lofts for sale. When we know of one coming up, we call those buyers whom have been patiently waiting before the loft ever goes to the public. So you get to see the loft first!
Tip #2: Get Pre-Qualified with the Right Lender!
Everyone knows you have to get pre-qualified for your home loan, but you may not know the importance of using the right lender. Several years ago, buyers had a hard time purchasing lofts due to lending rules and other issues related to the occupancy rates, etc. So, we worked with a local lending company who has local underwriters and local appraisers. This process took us a few years, but we did it and now we have been able to get buyers the lofts they want with low down payment loans.
Okay, so now you’re asking “How do I get on the list?”

This is going on the market this afternoon and it’s a flash sale, like a pop up! We just got it this morning so we are putting it up right away, you gotta come see it! This is a 1950’s bungalow with two entrances, one of those entrances is the 3rd bedroom. The really cool thing about that is you could put somebody in there as a roommate or a renter. So let’s go in, ‘m going to show you that bedroom in a few minutes.
1107 E. Lester Tucson, AZ 85719
This Bungalow was completely remodeled just at the beginning of this year, we’ve been waiting for it, we are so excited. It’s got a beautiful large living space. As you can see it’s furnished right now, it’s being used as a AirBNB. So this property could be a turnkey vacation rental for you or it’s ready to move in. Also, just so, you know, the artwork and all the furnishings are negotiable and can stay with this property if you do want to do a vacation rental.
I love this property because the floor plan makes it very versatile. You can have a roommate easily because of the split bedroom, you could use this as a vacation rental. You could use it as a second home, it could be a long-term / short-term rental. There’s just this is a great floor plan. I also love that it’s a double red brick, it’s solid build. You don’t find these very often in this condition. It also has a big property in the back with covered parking and storage and with and a patio we’re going to show you that as well.
The kitchen has been remodeled right at the beginning. That means the appliances are newer. Everything in here is newer. This is a really cool feature to me, if you’re in the living room or you have guests, all you have to do is hop over here, grab a soda. Or as Marta would say, una cerveza. Then you can pop back over there, and you don’t have to get involved in the kitchen. So if someone’s in here cooking, you’re not interfering, which is really, really cool.
The kitchen has gas, which I love, it has a built-in microwave, it does have a dishwasher which is also something you don’t find a lot in these older homes and I love a kitchen with a window when you’re doing dishes or your cooking, I just really like the light. They did install Solar Tubes. Those are in the ceiling. You can see the extra light pointing down, so you but they don’t be lights in this house during the day, so it’s really awesome. They also did the new upgraded flat square lighting, which I also love. It brings a touch of modern to this property.
Down at this side of the house, you have two bedrooms with closets and Marta is going to walk you over there, you’re going to see that they’re generous in size. Both of the bedrooms would fit a queen-size, or a king size bed. And still have plenty of room for a dresser or sitting chair, or whatever you need. One of the other cool things is they have semi walk-in closets. so, I can literally walk inside this…
Really cool, right? These little old houses, usually have little tiny… How do you say it? They are very generous compared to other 1950s homes, they have a little teeny tiny door with a little teeny tiny closets. Yeah, these are good size.
It has a linen closet in the hallway. And then you have a beautiful second bedroom and again, I can walk in this closet. It’s actually got great space, I’m all they way back here. So if you put double racks across both sides here, you can fit a lot of clothes in this bedroom, nice, right? Love this house.
I love the calmness of the decor, it certainly feels really nice in this house. This bathroom was also updated. As you can see, it’s got a tub and the shower. They also put a solar tube to create light for this bathroom. I think I want to do that now at my house and these are Bluetooth speaker systems which are really cool, so you can play music while you sing in the shower.
Notice the ledge, great for babies and dogs 🙂
Bathroom number two is the same. We have a completely remodeled bathroom over here. This is a walk-in shower and it’s beautifully tiled. I really like what they did with that. They even went to to the point of putting seating in the shower at, for shaving your legs or just taking a rest, I suppose. Also great to wash babies and dogs.
If we go over here, there’s a bonus room on this property, and this is perfect for an office or a yoga room, it’s great Flex space. You can do anything with this. It could be a guest bedroom since you don’t need a closet for a guest, typically. If you need a closet for guess, they’re saying too long. That’s my theory. So this can be a really great room. I can see having a Murphy bed here and then making it an office or combination or something. It also has an entrance out to the patio in the backyard. So that’s another really neat part of this room. So, let me show you the other the last bedroom and then we’ll go outside.
This this originally was most likely a carport because there is a step down. It has been remodeled and converted into a laundry room and a bedroom with its own private entrance. It’s a good size laundry room, lots of light in the laundry room, which I love, and you could do a lot with this, because it’s got storage and it’s got lots of space.
Great for Guest or Roommate Who Needs Their Own Entrance, Teenagers is Still Up for Debate
Then we have this bedroom again, a good-sized closet and a very nice size room. A king-size bed would fit in here very easily. I love this room because of the double windows, I like a lot of light. There’s also windows on this side and, this is really cool because, you’ve got an entrance to the outside. This is back at the front where we started.
That is really cool because you could have a guest stay here or a roommate or somebody who needs their own entrance, which is neat. I don’t suggest teenagers live in this room. They could run away, they can get into trouble.
We’re going to go back out there and I’m going to show you the outside. One of the neat things about this property is it’s got a big spacious lot. And you gotta love it because there’s a good-sized front yard, but the backyard, you can do so much with. And if you’ve got toys or campers like we do, you want to park those with your cars. You’ve got plenty of space inside these gates.
This is a really cool little patio right here, so you’re covered. Then you can see, over there, you’ve got a storage shed in the back. You’ve got two-car carport, you could easily fit, wow you could easily fit a couple campers, a boat, Sea-Doos and still have your pool. So I think then you would just add some privacy to the fencing and you’re all good to go. So that’s what we would do.
This area is permit street parking. So your guests, you give them your permit. If you’re living here, you’d get a permit to put in their windows. The cool thing about this property is it actually has plenty of parking for guests, so that’s nice too. If you want to have a little get-together, you don’t have to worry about the permitted street parking.
We’re super close to the U of A, so this is a great house for a rental if you have a professor or students or somebody who wanted to go to the UArizoa. Or Banner Hospital is down the road. The location is fantastic just from the fact that there’s so much around here.
