What people are saying about Sun City | |
| I had to jump into this discussion since my wife and I are big fans of Del Webb Communities. We have been at Sun City Grand for 4 years now after dancing around them for 4-5 years before buying. What you get when you buy a place in a DW community is a lifestyle that is varied and active. There are so many things to do that we have problems working them all in. It is not all shuffleboard and dominos. I play slow pitch softball 3 days a week, tennis 3 times a week, hit the best gym 2-3 times a week, and still take classes at the Arizona State University learning center here on campus. You can be as active as you like or as sedentary as you like. We are adjacent to Phoenix with all the things a major city offers yet safe and secure with great neighbors in a 2000 sq ft single level home. Many folks here are snowbirds and go north in the summer but more and more are learning to adjust to the summer hear here in AZ. We go back to WA state where family lives in the summer. There are many ways and places to retire. 10 years ago I would have never considered doing what we do now but as long as we have good health this is what works best for us. Ones health often dictates the lifestyle that you can have in "the golden years". | |

| Sun City is a wonderful invention | |
| This is the original retirement community. It was built when there was absolutely nothing around, just about when Arizona started to explode. This is summer camp for adults. There is every kind of activity and every kind of person. True, it is huge, but it is set up so if you show the slightest interest you will meet lots of nice people. Best of all, it has assisted living facilities - you can move here once and never have to move again. A comforting thought for many. | |
