Drexel Heights: An Affordable Suburb of Tuscon 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Drexel Heights is a small city south of Tuscon. It is affordable to live here but it can be very uneventful.

It's a fun place to spend time with your dog or friends.

You won't find a lot of good jobs here unless you have a job in Tuscon and commute daily. Drexel Heights feels a little more like a town for retirees or people that prefer to avoid living in a busy city. There aren't too many places to go shopping in Drexel Heights or to have dinner, so you'll probably have to drive to a neighboring city for that. Overall it can be an enjoyable place to live as long as you don't expect it to be busy and to offer you a lot. Read Less
