Sun City West, about a dozen miles northwest of Phoenix, is a

master-planned active adult community for people 55 and over. It

began in 1978 when all available land in Sun City, which is two

miles east, was built upon. The community, together with Sun

City, has been rated the third best location out of 100 top-rated

retirement communities in the nation. Nearly 24,000 residents

call Sun City West home and when the community is fully

completed there will be a population of 32,000. With eight golf

courses and four recreation centers, it is designed for an active

way of life. Numerous clubs and civic organizations are available.

Residents are often said to be “too busy to retire.”
