Sun City West: Arizona's Second Retirement Experiment
Del Webb opened Sun City West in 1978, a decade after the original Sun City proved that large-scale age-restricted communities could succeed in the desert. Located northwest of Phoenix in Maricopa County, the community is limited to residents aged 55 and older, with at least one member of each household meeting the age requirement. The population is around 24,500.
The community operates through the Recreation Centers of Sun City West, a nonprofit that manages seven recreation centers, four golf courses, two bowling centers, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a performing arts theater. Annual fees fund these amenities. The RH Johnson Recreation Center is the largest facility. A 20,000-square-foot stained glass studio, believed to be the largest in the country dedicated to the hobby, draws particular attention.
Medical infrastructure is a priority in a community with this age profile. Banner Boswell Medical Center sits just east in Sun City, and Banner Del E. Webb Medical Center is within a short drive. Grand Avenue and the Loop 303 provide the primary routes to the broader Phoenix metro area.
White Tank Mountain Regional Park, the largest park in the Maricopa County system at nearly 30,000 acres, is a short drive west. Desert hiking trails and ancient Hohokam petroglyphs are among its features. The community itself is fully built out, with no new home construction; the real estate market runs on resales as residents move in and out of the age-restricted development.
