Phoenix’s active-adult neighborhoods blend warm desert vistas with city convenience.

With roots dating back to the 1950s, Phoenix’s first active-adult development—Sun City—revolutionized retirement living under the Sonoran sun. Designed by Del Webb, its mid-century modern architecture and planned amenities gave a blueprint for 55+ communities nationwide. Today, Phoenix’s 55+ neighborhoods continue that legacy: thoughtfully designed homes, vibrant social calendars, and desert-inspired landscaping that honors the region’s history and culture
