Tucson has become an ideal choice for those thinking of full or semi-retirement. Without a doubt, Tucson has some of the best weather in the country, affordable housing options, low taxes, and year round golf, hiking and other outdoor activities, that continue to attract the growing number of senior and adult active population groups from throughout the United States.
Many of our seniors choose to live in any of the traditional areas and neighborhoods, but many opt for the quiet afforded them in an age restricted (55 years and above) community. For an example, Sun City Vistoso is a 1,000 acre, adult active community in Oro Valley, that features homes with spectacular Catalina Mountain views, a private 18 hole golf course, community center, with tennis, swimming, and over 100 clubs offering all amenities to enhance a special retirement lifestyle. Just north of Tucson, nestled at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, we have Saddlebrook, a master planned community, boasting 63 holes of golf, plus crafts and fitness centers, tennis, other amenities, and an on-site commercial center.
For those seniors seeking more amenities and services, Tucson and greater northern Pima County, offer many large adult retirement communities, and a growing number of smaller ones, that provide these services and programs for seniors at all levels of abilities. Many of the adult retirement complexes offer everything from free standing homes, apartments, and/or casitas, to fully staffed skilled nursing facilities. Many self-contained communities offer dining rooms, game and reading rooms, swimming, and exercise facilities, in addition to golf and tennis.
Tucson - a wonderful place to spend those "golden years."
