Sun City is a 55-plus age-restricted community located in a city of the same name. It came to fruition in 1960 after Del Webb began building single-family homes on the site of the Marinette, Arizona ghost town. The building of new homes continued through 1978. Homes that agents like Carl Chapman REALTOR and West USA Realty sell now in Sun City are resale houses only.
Sun City is famous for being the first age-restricted community in Arizona, as well as the entire U.S. In fact, its opening day garnered more than 100,000 visitors. Del Webb sold more than 400 homes in the first month that Sun City was open. The company sold more than 2000 new homes in the community's first year.
It continues to be the age-restricted community of choice for retirees because of its remarkably low taxes, quiet way of life, affordable houses, and low homeowners association fees. It prides itself on catering to the dreams of retirees and people who are in the over 55 age demographic. It is now home to more than 40,000 residents.
