Sun City real estate
Sun City Website
Sun City was ahead of its time. When developer Del Webb built Sun City in 1960, most people hailed the master-planned retirement community as a bold experiment. After all, it was easy for people to be skeptical about transforming 20,000 acres of cotton fields and sagebrush into a viable, living community. But it worked. The town is unincorporated and depends on Maricopa County for services such as law enforcement, street repairs and zoning protection.
Eleven golf courses and seven recreation centers provide swimming, tennis, bowling and a myriad of other activities. The Lakeview Recreation Center even has a lake for fishing. Volunteerism is strong in Sun City. The Sun City Prides is a nonprofit corporation which assists Maricopa County in keeping Sun City clean.
The group has more than 300 members who help maintain the beauty of the community. Sun City is age-restricted. One member of the household must be 55 or older and no one under age 18 is permitted residence. The population is approximately 45,000.
