Sun City Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Arizona

Sun City was one of the first of the resort-style, master-planned retirement communities, and remains one of the best. The concept – a self-sufficient community of active, fun-loving adults – has been so successful in this area that several other developments have duplicated it. This beautiful town is located in Maricopa County, 14 miles northwest of central Phoenix, Arizona. The area is served by several major roadways, including Interstate 17, U.S. Route 60 and State Route 101. With a population of about 45,000, Sun City is one of the largest retirement communities in the country. Builder Del Webb has since become an industry leader in the development of its unique retirement communities, because of its insight into the needs of adults who’ve stopped working but haven’t stopped living. Friends and neighbors, the arts, physical fitness and golf are key components of the lifestyle. Hundred of clubs and organizations allow neighbors to get together and participate in their favorite pastimes, from aerobics to woodworking. Community facilities include seven recreation centers, eight golf courses, three country clubs, swimming pools and more. As Sun City has grown, retail, dining and service organizations have been established throughout the Arizona community, bringing more amenities closer to home. There are also several landmarks and attractions within 10 miles, including Sundome Center for Performing Arts, White Tank Regional Park, West Valley Art Museum and Sun Bowl Outdoor Amphitheater. Local area real estate options include single-family detached homes, condominiums, townhouses and land lots.
