Sun City - America's First Purpose-Built Retirement Community
When developer Del Webb opened five model homes in Sun City on January 1, 1960, he expected 10,000 visitors over the opening weekend. More than 100,000 showed up. The community, built on cotton farmland northwest of Phoenix, became the prototype for age-restricted retirement developments across the United States. Sun City has roughly 37,500 residents today, virtually all of them over 55, in accordance with the community's age restrictions.
The Sun City Home Owners Association manages seven recreation centers, eight golf courses, two bowling alleys, and dozens of clubs and activity groups. The community was designed around the idea that retirees wanted more than a house; they wanted a lifestyle built on recreation and social connection. Streets follow curving patterns through single-story neighborhoods, and golf carts are a common form of local transportation.
The Del Webb Sun Cities Museum, housed in one of the original model homes, chronicles the development's history and its influence on American retirement culture. Several of the recreation centers have been renovated over the years to keep pace with the expectations of newer residents.
Sun City is an unincorporated CDP in Maricopa County, meaning it relies on the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for law enforcement and has no municipal government. Grand Avenue (US 60) cuts through the southern part of the community, connecting it to downtown Phoenix roughly 15 miles to the southeast.
