Green Valley is an unincorporated community located in Pima County, AZ. Green Valley was founded in in 1964 and occupies part of the vast (46,697) acres of the San Ignacio de las Canoa Land Grant which was given to New Spain by the Spanish Crown in the 16th century. It is now a vibrant retirement community and gateway to historic southern Arizona located south of Tucson on Interstate 19.

Green Valley is close enough to Tucson if you need the big city but far enough away for the quiet solitude and a great lifestyle a retirement community likes. Great weather for year round outdoor activities, shopping, restaurants and all the healthcare options you need are here in Green Valley!

Part of what makes Green Valley so special is Green Valley Recreation, Inc. A non-profit organization operating 13 recreation centers which give GVR members unlimited possibilities for play, leisure and learning in this active 55+ community.
