Benson – Home of Kartchner’s Cavern State Park
Rising land prices in Pima County, and a desire for a certain kind of lifestyle, are driving development towards Benson, a city roughly 40 miles east of Tucson, with a population of about 5000.
Benson, the friendliest little whistlestop in the West, has three major Interstate 10 exits, a major grocery store and a Super Walmart.
According to some land brokers, land in Pima County is running about 30% more expensive than in Cochise County. Developers are looking to the Benson area, which is about the same distance from Tucson’s airport as northern Marana. Benson is close enough for many Tucson area commuters to consider living there. The Benson area is going to drastically change in the next five to ten years. Tucson is moving in that direction.
