On this map area, Sun City is bounded by Deer Valley Road to the north, 117th Avenue to the west, Olive Avenue to the south and 91st Avenue to the east. The very first retirement community in the country was built here in Arizona in 1960 by the builder, Del Webb. Located 16 miles northwest of Phoenix between Peoria and Surprise, Sun City is known as an active adult retirement community restricted to residents age 55 and older. This community has continued to grow and thrive since its inception, with over 40,000 full and part-time residents. While Arizona now has dozens of retirement communities, Sun City still remains a popular choice thanks to its low property taxes, moderately priced homes, and its proximity to major freeways.
The homes in Sun City primarily were built in the 1960’s and 70’s, and some may lack some floor plans and modern features favored by active adults. Del Webb offered over one hundred floor plans when Sun City was built. Of course many of these homes have been remodeled and updated, reflecting more current tastes, resulting in a wide range of pricing. Community association fees in Sun City are quite reasonable and property taxes are among the lowest in the country.
