Sun City West

You want to be happy in the golden years of your life.  You made it through and it is not time at this time to put a lot of worry and excitement into your life.  From its early beginnings, the Sun City West situation has offered the aged and aging the very, very best in retirement living.  Sun City created in 1960, was the country’s finest active adult community.  Sun City West sits as one of the crown jewels of Del Webb’s planned developments.

From this early vision of a retirement community in the middle of an otherwise barren desert, there has grown this crusty jewel of a retirement community with its solid-gold goods, services, and so much more that is available to you once you move in.  Share this vision and move into Sun City today.

Sun City West developers say what was going on in Sun City and knew that there would be more demand for these moderately priced luxury retirement accommodations.  Emboldened by the phenomenal success of neighboring Sun City, the developer further tinkered improved upon many of the features and amenities that characterized the earlier community. Sun City West is now home to some 32,000 residents.  Sun City West as an active adult retirement community also is age-restricted01.  One resident of each household must be at least 55 years of age with no one under the age of 19 as a full-time resident.

Recreational activity is going to be a big part of your life now and things you can do to with all your newfound free time will include four regulation and three executive golf courses, 27 tennis courts, indoor and outdoor walking tracks, racquet and handball courts, bocce and lawn bowling, shuffleboard, billiards, softball, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a 30-lane bowling center, and four multi-million dollar recreation centers.

Every homeowner is a member of the Recreation Centers of Sun City West.  Just register your guests with them to make sure that you and your guests enjoy unlimited use of all of the varied and wonderful facilities that have been collected for the use and enjoyment of privileged users.

Even if you don’t get a tee time to play golf, residents you will find some 100 clubs to satisfy virtually any interest or hobby.  And not just nightclubs either; folks here enjoy a variety of activities, from arts and crafts and model railroads to lapidary, equestrian and classic cars. In addition, there are many social clubs and chapters of most national and international service clubs.  If you want to join other seniors and share how things were and the skills that only time and patience can give you then this is the ideal place for you.

Let’s take a look at one of those community creations - the Sun City West Foundation.  This place gave residents a group under which they could sponsor community projects. The SCWF currently provides facilities for Helping Hands, meeting rooms, AARP Tax Services, Thrift Shop, Interfaith Adult Day Care Center, Luminarias, PRIDES, and Voluntary Placement Services.  These organizations allow Sun City West residents to borrow necessary medical equipment, get help on tax preparation or go to a shelter in case of some sort of unforeseen emergency that drives you from your home.

Virtually all of the big city conveniences are located within the close-knit community.  Residents will find supermarkets, hardware stores, pharmacies, restaurants, banking, and a host of other commercial services, plus a post office, churches for all denominations, a 40,000-volume library, and more.  But in all these places you also meet only your friends and neighbors- who could ask for anything more?

Then there's the majesty of the Sundome.  With 7,169 perfect seats, the Sundome Center for the Performing Arts is the world’s largest single-level auditorium.  The center serves as a cultural hub for the West Valley and offers a wide array of wild entertainment year-round, from Las Vegas caliber headliners to the performance of some of the world’s greatest music at symphony concerts, they’ve got it all.  From ballet performances to the country music sounds of Nashville, it’s here!

The state of your health is very important to you now so you want to know that the best and most reliable resources are at your beck and call. Outstanding health and medical services and facilities are also situated within Sun City West, including the Del E. Webb Memorial Hospital.  The community also maintains the Louisa Kellam Center for Women’s Health, which provides intergenerational services to the health care needs of women and serves as the centerpiece of the hospital’s $46.5 million expansion program.

Sun City West is truly a paradise that has been dug into the dusty plains of the old southwest.  The community is pleased to celebrate 25 years of lovely living way out here in the Valley of the Sun.
