About Saddlebrooke
Saddlebrooke is a census-designated place and 55+ in Pinal County, at about 3,400 feet elevation in the Santa Catalina foothills just north of Oro Valley. Population was 12,574 at the 2020 census. Two HOA-managed communities make up the development — SaddleBrooke One and SaddleBrooke Two (including The Preserve subdivision) — with Eagle Crest as a smaller all-age subdivision. The higher elevation brings temperatures 5–10 degrees cooler than Tucson and Phoenix. Robson Resort Communities markets it as a premier community with golf, pickleball, theaters and dining.
