The expansive area northwest of the city limits is diverse, ranging from the rural communities of Catalina and parts of the town of Marana, to the affluent town of Oro Valley in the western foothills of the Santa Catalina Mountains, and residential areas in the northeastern foothills of the Tucson Mountains.  The community of Casas Adobes is also located on the Northwest side, with the distinction of being Tucson's firs suburb, established in the late 1940's.  Casas Adobes is centered around the historic Casas Adobes plaza (built in 1948).  The Foothills Mall is also located on the Northwest side. 

Many of the Tucson area's golf courses and resorts are located in this area, including the Hilton Conquistador Golf and Tennis Resort in Oro Valley, the Omni Tucson National Resort and Spa and Westward Look Resort.  The Catalina State Park and Tortilita Mountain Park are also here.
