For example, there have been very few listings on the market in Estates Six over the last few years, and therefore very few sales.

Here is a listing that is currently on the market for $949,000 that has a classic design and guest quarters in Catalina Foothills Estates Six.

Many of these classi homes have mature desert landscaping and are tucked away from view. The  Classic Catalina Foothills Estates were situated on 10 to 15 acres of more, but have now been reduced to smaller lots with the onset of development in the area.

Many people are resisting more change, as the area has outstanding natural desert beauty.
