Phoenix, AZ 55+ Retirement Communities and Homes

55+ Communities, also called 55 Plus Communities, are active retirement havens for adults, offering varied amenities and housing from golf course homes to serene city living among like-minded neighbors. They typically include pools, Pickleball, Shuffleboard, tennis courts, clubhouses with kitchens, and championship golf courses in gated, resort-like environments.

Phoenix Arizona is by far one of the more popular retirement destinations for 55+ retirement living in America due to its relatively low cost of living, sunny days and top rated golf courses and 55+ communities. Sun City, just northeast of Phoenix, was the first active adult community in the country making the Phoenix area ground zero for active retirement living for over 60 years. "The Valley of the Sun," as the Phoenix metro area is known, is home to more than four million residents, making it one of the largest and fastest-growing areas of the country. And the nickname is well-chosen: Phoenix enjoys an average of 325 days of sunshine every year. Also, many 55+ retirement communities is why this area is one of the more popular retirement destination outside of Phoenix.

Overview

Phoenix, Arizona has established itself as a highly sought-after retirement destination for those aged 55 and above in the United States. This is primarily due to its affordable cost of living, abundance of sunny days, and renowned golf courses and communities tailored for this demographic. Sun City, located northeast of Phoenix, holds the distinction of being the first active adult community in the nation, making the Phoenix area the epicenter of retirement living for over six decades.

Referred to as "The Valley of the Sun," the Phoenix metropolitan area boasts a population of over four million residents, solidifying its position as one of the largest and fastest-growing regions in the country. The nickname is aptly chosen, as Phoenix revels in an impressive annual average of 325 days of sunshine.

Furthermore, it's important to note that the climate in Phoenix leans toward arid. While summers can be scorching, as expected in a desert environment, the period from November to April offers sunny weather and pleasant temperatures. Golf enthusiasts will find themselves spoiled for choice with an extensive array of golf courses, including public, private, resort, municipal, and executive options, totaling over 185 destinations in and around Phoenix.

The Phoenix metropolitan area encompasses Maricopa County and substantial portions of Pinal County. It comprises notable cities such as Phoenix, Mesa, Glendale, Tempe, and Scottsdale, along with several smaller communities. Scottsdale, in particular, stands out with one of the largest artist populations in the United States, alongside its plethora of spas, world-class restaurants, and art galleries.

Overall, Phoenix, Arizona, continues to entice retirees with its appealing attributes, cementing its reputation as an attractive and vibrant retirement haven.
