Tucson AZ Corporate Housing and Furnished Apartments

Getting to Know Tucson’s Business Environment

The Tucson economy is driven by diverse factors. The government is one of the main players in this area with the Davis Monthan Air Force Base and the U.S. Border Patrol both in Tucson. The Defense Department’s relationship with Raytheon Missile Systems is also another driving employer in the city as is the University of Arizona. The University also acts as an incubator for technology transfer to start up companies that then stay in the Tucson area and become part of the economy.

How to Dress When Stepping out of a Tucson Furnished Apartment

In October the temps begin to taper into the 70s and reached highs of mid 60s in December. In January, the temperature begins its ascent gradually hitting the high 70s in February.  If you enjoy heat, you will love Tucson.  If not, you will probably find yourself staying put in your spacious furnished apartment.

Dining Recommendations for Tucson Corporate Housing Clients

The food here definitely leans towards the Mexican flavors. You can get almost anything you want from Italian to Indian, but you will find a predominance of Mexican food, from fast food and street food to fine dining. Below are some recommendations for various kinds of foods that you might wish to check out depending on where your corporate housing in Tucson is

• El Minuto Cafe on S Main Ave: This Mexican restaurant will not disappoint you.  Everything is excellent: the Tacos to the Tostadas and the Chimichangas and the Enchiladas. Try the Shredded Beef Plate and you will walk away happy. They even have Mexican beer to go with the food.
• Downtown Kitchen and Cocktails on S 6th Ave.: The Happy Hour Menu in this eatery is outstanding. The Warm Oaxacan Peanuts with a dash of lime and roasted garlic and chiles de arbol is the first thing you should get when you sit down. These go great with the margaritas. You should also try the spice rubbed pork belly with guava sauce, pineapple and chayote salad. The combos here during happy hour are something you will never get tired off.
• Mama Louisa’s on S Craycroft Rd.: This is a simple but authentic Italian restaurant. The setting is comfortable with the typical murals you would find gracing the wall of an Italian restaurant. The lunch menu is filled with things like fried Calamari and Antipasto and grilled chicken salad. The specialty here is the Lasagna. Ask for Joe’s Lasagna and enjoy homemade noodles and fresh Ricotta cheese and Joe’s special sauce.
• Bangkok Cafe on E Speedway Blvd.: This is the best place in town to get Asian food especially when you are in the mood for Thai. Try the Kang Pa-Nang. It blends together spicy gravy with red chillies, sour lime, sweet basil, and coconut cream–all smothering your choice of chicken, beef or pork.
• Brooklyn Pizza Company on N 4th Ave.: This typical pizza joint sells pizza by the slice or whole pizza. The favorite here is the Sicilian, which can be topped with almost anything you can think of.  Especially on nights where you bring work home, or the game’s on the box, this is the best place to turn to. Bring one home to your Tucson furnished apartment.  They also deliver beer and wine with your pizza.

• Museums: The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum is a great place to learn about the native ecology of the region. It is somewhat of a Museum, a zoo, and a botanical garden all rolled into one.
