Sun City has changed since I worked at Boswell Hospital. Golf carts with air-conditioned enclosed seats were street legal! The residents supported several softball teams for young adults to the youngest Cherubs Boswell was the best-equipped hospital I ever worked at. Such good memories I have of working there. I lived in Peoria and would stop at roadside farmer's stands. Such good vegetables. They were harvested daily and those that didn't sell were shipped back East.
Glad to hear about the 55 and older communities. It looks nice, clean & tidy! I'll be coming from Fargo, ND soon, so very very interested in all retirement communities in Sun City and in all areas of the Metro!! Do more please!!
I am 61 & live in Sun City West AZ. Make sure you love the sun & absolutely no rain. I'm starting to get tired of the same thing every day. I miss the change of seasons, I am from Michigan. If you love bright sunny days & extremely hot summers then you will love it here. Good Luck.
@@jayne59brohammer Hi Jayne, thx for the tips! I lived in PHX for 8 years for most of the 80's then moved back home to MN/ND... It took me a year to learn to appreciate the desert. I also remember missing the seasons, minimal rain, and sick of the same sunny 😎and hot🥵 all the time. I've also considered retiring in Virginia or the two Carolina's so I can get the 4 seasons but not the 50+ 🌨️🌨️ inches of snow every winter. Today in Fargo, it's about 25- 30 below with the wind chill🥶, and about the same weather for the rest of the week. Yesterday I was stranded because my car battery died from the cold, so just about anything sounds better right now! 😣
@@ruthkukowski5561 I think I am forgetting the bad that goes along with the cold winters....as I sit here in AZ on my lanai it's about 73 today. God Bless
@LifeRx I hate cold too. That's why I moved to Arizona 15 years ago. But, you need to remember that summer is brutally hot. 110+ most days. 114 is not even newsworthy, just a normal day.
Looks nice. The tiring thing about being retired (and bad for health) is living in a community feeling isolated; people around, but nothing going on and feeling anonymous. This is perhaps what I need. I'm not a rich retiree however.
We live in Chattanooga TN and my son lives in Surprise. We visit every chance we can and love the West Valley! Litchfield Park is also one of our favorites!
When I looked up Sun City Anthem, it appears to be located in Henderson, NV and Sun City Festival is in Buckeye, AZ. Loved the video on Sun City AZ. You are doing a great service to those who are planning a move to AZ. Thanks.

There are several Sun City Anthem's in different states.
"I know it's confusing without a map..." Indeed it is. I've often wanted to comment that your channel would be more helpful and informative if you showed a map when you're referencing a particular area. The map was only up for a few seconds. So like a map at the beginning to illustrate what you're going to comment and it would be great if you show it again when you're moving from one area to the next. Other than that I love your channel and frequently binge-watch 👍🏻
Hi, I live in Mayflower,Akansas. My sister moved to Sun City, Az. in Jan. 01. I'm planning to drive out to visit her in Sept. I enjoyed your gorgeous, informative video. Thanks.
Just stumbled across this - Great video! Planning to retire to AZ at the end of the year. These videos will be very helpful in planning for where to eventually buy my retirement home! Beautiful pictures - video and narration is well done!
I really enjoyed this video. I have been looking for a place to retire to and Sun City is not only the most affordable place for me but out of all the other states I've looked at, I really want to live in Sun City. I live in Lakeland, FL. I hate it here. I'll trade the dry heat for the humidity any day. Also, not having to worry about hurricanes is definitely a plus. Thanks for making this video.
There is a Del Webb 55+ community in Sun City, California (now consolidated into the community of Menifee). It is in Riverside County, east of OC. Looks exactly like yours!
@@michaelonstank142 ah ok, I was just going to say sun city and surprise are nice but all the jobs are Tempe and phonix and its already an hour to most places before traffic as far as jobs go. If you can put up with the commute for just a couple years I think you guys would love it up there, and so close to lake pleasant which is loads of fun!
I live in Sun City ( original) and love it. There are a few asnine HOA rules but I can live with it. Numerous recreational centers for just about any activity you could want.
Moved to laveen after living in Seattle most of my life and Dallas for 10 months. We love it here so beautiful and unlike Seattle there are very few homeless camps/used heroine needles downtown 😆
It's coming. In case you haven't noticed, we are being invaded by Californians, Oregonians, and Washingtonians. Arizona officially went blue this year. I've been here 15 years and watched the change. This state will be lost in a few years. Get ready for the new Seattle.
@@bassage13 i can tell you, I understand the frustration but my wife and I voted red all the way down. Blows my mind you'd see something nice enough to leve your less nice place then try to turn it into the old place. Maybe there is a reason things are going so well
We are retired and living in South Carolina. We have lots of family in AZ and CA. We’ve been considering AZ to be closer to family. We are enjoying the videos and learning about AZ. Have you done videos in Lake Havasu and Yuma?
Hello!!! I lived in Avondale and taught in Buckeye a few years back and now I'm interested in "snowbirding". Any advice where to find rentals in the communities that have activities and transportation??
These developments were built in succession. This gives you the types of homes built during that time. Sun City was established in 1960, Sun City West established in 1978, Sun City Grand established 1996 to 2000's. There is also an upscale development just north of Sun City West called Corte Bella established in 2003 with home prices from 300k and up. These are all 55+ communities with HOA's and some areas have a HOA within the HOA.
My girlfriend and I (from Maryland) have pretty much ruled out Arizona as a place to retire. It seems like every place we could have afforded has been discovered and is now out of our price range. We are flying to Phoenix in a week to visit (my 5th time) and relax. Is there any place any viewers could recommend that are still ''reasonable'? We were looking to spend about $1200 a month(total) for a nice apt. We know that is a long shot,..but,....any suggestions would be appreciated. If not we will just enjoy our trip and cross Arizona off our ''maybe ''list.
We are planning on building in Surprise . I would love the East Valley . Due to the jobs we would be better on the West Valley . We are moving from Ohio . My 73 yr old mom is coming with us . I have two children 13 and 10 . I hope this is a good area to raise them .
Well, after reviewing several of these videos, I'd tell you to buy into one of the newer subdivisions if you can because the Sun City ones look dated. But, you could potentially get a better deal in Sun City since these are older properties. If you dont want to own your house, some really nice apartments are being built in the Villages of Florida. All the golf, pools, and amenities are there too. Good luck!
@ i have a Spinal Cord Injury and have health issues that develop in the cold weather. I left Florida 13 years ago because of Hurricanes. Plus property taxes are ridiculous in my area.
@@vcoonrod I’m still not sure how far away from Phoenix I want to be. I have medical issues and like to be near a good hospital trama center that is familiar with Spinal Cord Injury care.
My son lives in Dos Rios and everyone around there really get out and celebrate the holidays. Very much a community even though everyone is inside much of the time. Area very quiet and well cared for. Their house purchased last year 3200 sq feet @290,00. Their are so many retirees there that they have a lot of power. Water and garbage are private and less than City costs. If there is talk of a rate increase they have all day to go to meetings and keep costs down. From what he tells me he loves this area.
I was so excited when this video popped up. I’ve owned my home in Surprise since 2010 and relocated here from Alexandria, VA in 2017. But it was all about Sun City. ☹️ Also Sun City and Sun City West are NOT cities at all. They are subdivisions located in Maricopa County. The founders did want to pay taxes to support a city infrastructure and did NOT want to pay taxes to build schools and other infrastructure project. Police protection is through the County Sheriffs Department. Sun City Grand was built last and chose to incorporate into the city of Surprise. In the video close to 75% of Surprise was not included. We have have a lot to offer now but in the coming years. We are still growing and are currently around the 10th largest city in Arizona. We are also the ONLY city/town in Arizona that was founded by a woman.
@@al1here Are you kidding? I've been in Surprise since 2005. I lived in Northern VA before that. Spent a lot of time in DC. Still visit family there. DC has some of the worst traffic in the U.S. Surprise is a small, quiet suburb. The traffic here is NOTHING compared to DC.
Been thinking of moving to sun city from scottsdale and just heard of happy trails. Does anyone know if the mobile home lots are leased or bought? I would like mobile home without having to rent or lease the lot. TIA
I lived in Sun City Grand and it was a pretty place however the social atmosphere was not positive. People were gossiping way too much and would spread all kinds of rumors. Everyone was curious how much money you had. Because it has a smaller population, most everyone knew each other or knew about them. I moved to Sun City which is older and not as fancy. Sun City is a much larger community and you could maintain some annonimity. People here are not in your face. Sun City offers much more for my tastes. I don’t miss Sun City one bit!
I’ve been in surprise most of my childhood. I feel like it’s not the greatest place to live. Nothing but empty promises. Our roads are always expanding and narrowing because they failed to keep up with the population growth, so they work to make larger roads, but then keep them too small. We have no good shopping districts and no good restaurants, just chains despite promises of malls and a nice downtown we just got a crappy university and 55+ communities. Our taxes are very high, despite the fact we have to head to nearby cities to do anything other than bowl.
I've been here 15 years. They promised us this great downtown even back then. Still, NOTHING. The first two buildings they allowed in this new "vibrant downtown" are a tire shop and an elderly apartment complex. It's getting ridiculous. And 99% of the new development is hamburger restaurants, nail salons, and storage facilities. This place was a clean slate, and they are ruining it.
I live in Arizona. Please use this platform to get the message out to Vote Yes on Prop 207. This will help the financially dying state I love so much. Thank you♥️💯👍
Lived here for years and mostly grumpy, unfriendly people. Huge development's of poorly built homes. Older homes are nearly impossible to get repair parts. Inundated with contractors ready to take advantage of people. Many areas have torn down trees and removed grass. You can have several homeowners associations in a row with different landscaping that looks terrible. Poor drainage.
Sun City was NOT the first built. Youngtown was the first. With the first hospital in the West Valley. And the first to be built with the idea of not having children. Please, check your facts. Thank you.

Cool! I'm in north Dakota moving to Arizona in the spring!
Sun City has changed since I worked at Boswell Hospital. Golf carts with air-conditioned enclosed seats were street legal! The residents supported several softball teams for young adults to the youngest Cherubs Boswell was the best-equipped hospital I ever worked at. Such good memories I have of working there. I lived in Peoria and would stop at roadside farmer's stands. Such good vegetables. They were harvested daily and those that didn't sell were shipped back East.
Thanks for adding in information about RV parks.
Yay yay yay been waiting for surprise!,!, GRACIAS,! 👍😁
Thanks for visiting us! Located 35 miles NW of central Phoenix, the original Sun City Arizona offers the most amenities for the best value!
Is Sun City a suburb of Phoenix?
I live in NW Peoria but drive through Sun City to my doctor appointments.
I enjoy passing all of the golf courses there.
I love Surprise too!
