The Blenman-Elm Neighborhood is bounded on the south by Speedway, on the east by Country Club, on the north by Grant, and on the west by Campbell, excluding the northwest quadrant (which is Catalina Vista). See Map.
We are one of 34 National Register Historic Districts in Tucson. Many volunteer hours went into obtaining this designation, which was acquired in 2003. As a result, not only do we have that unique status, it provides certain benefits to owners of houses that are contributing properties.
