Here, you will find some helpful information to assist you with this exciting time of your life. According to SeniorJounal.com, the fastest growing source of demand for new homes has been the result of the baby boomers. Senior Journal also reported that the age of the baby boomers is between the ages of 45 and 55, so if you are looking for retired housing communities in Arizona, they are plentiful! To give you maybe even a better idea as to just how fast this generation is growing, it is estimated that someone turns 55 about every nine seconds. Any smart home builder in Arizona has likely already tapped into the Arizona Retirement Communities industry. Hoping to retire in AZ? There are many 55 plus areas here for your convenience......let's take a look!
If you are seriously considering retiring in Arizona, then you will be glad to know that Arizona was actually the first state to provide a retirement community to retirees. Did you know that Del Webb (now considered Pulte Homes)started the idea of a retirement community?
Del Webb is actually now a part of Pulte Homes and are not just known to Arizona, but also in 15 additional states. In Arizona, Del Webb/Pulte has certainly made a name for themselves and is a well known home builder here in Arizona. They are also very well known as one of the reputable home builders of Arizona retirement communities.
Whether you prefer the big cities or a quieter community, it really doesn't matter, because you can certainly find both types of Arizona Retirement Communities here. I know here, in Gold Canyon, you will find another one of Arizona's Retirement Communities with a very peaceful community with many, many fine attractions for you to take advantage of as a resident. My mother lives in Mountainbrook Village, which is approximately 35 minutes east of the Phoenix metropolitan area on U.S. Highway 60, and I will tell you that this is one time in my life, as an adult, that I actually wished I was a little older just to be able to buy a home in the 55 plus housing community! I am in love with that area. I live in a fairly quiet neighborhood myself in Gold Canyon, but if you want true peace and quiet, Mountainbrook is one of Arizona retirement communities that many consider one of the finer places to retire. The wildlife is incredible and breathtaking at times. I have seen so much wildlife there, it is unbelievable. I have seen javelinas, coyotes, hawks, owls, and lizards, just to name a few. My mom even saw a bobcat right outside her kitchen window one day! I was also fortunate to see a white-tailed deer right in the middle of this residential area. Mountainbrook has two very large swimming pools, a jacuzzi, golf course, exercise room, tennis courts, bocce ball, activities room and so much more to keep you active and certainly entertained. Before I moved to Arizona, I was fortunate to be a guest and I just loved it there. Mountainbrook Village has well over 1600 retirement homes along with casitas that are all a part of Mountainbrook Village and many of these homes have an awesome view of the Superstition Mountains and all very much a part of the Sonoran desert. Oh, if you are a real golf fanatic, you are just a couple of miles away from Arizona's number one public golf course in Gold Canyon, at the Gold Canyon Golf Resort. Heck, you could ride your bike over there, taking the back roads through Mountainbrook if you wanted even more exercise....that is, of course assuming that you wanted to rent your clubs. Known for its gorgeous sunsets and the many recreational activities, golf is probably one of the most popular reasons that retirees make Arizona their home. There are literally hundreds of courses for the golf fan along with so many other popular activities such as tennis, various sightseeing tours, Native American culture and, of course the Grand Canyon to explore. If you were to ask any of the retirees already living in Arizona, they would likely tell you that another reason why they enjoy their Arizona retirement communities is because they are so conveniently located to so many of their necessary things. If the outdoors is what you are looking for, Arizona can certainly provide you an endless list of lakes and rivers which attracts so many anglers to the desert southwest. In addition, you will find just as many mountains that make up Arizona and make it the beautiful state that it is. Even Las Vegas is not that far away from Arizona! Arizona retirement communities living can be found throughout the state and not just in Phoenix. Many parts of the "valley of the sun," as the Phoenix area is ofte called, offers retired living at its best. It just depends on where you would like to live. Some people prefer Scottsdale over Phoenix, or maybe Tucson when it comes to the best Arizona retirement communities. Some people prefer Gold Canyon, a city located about 35 minutes east of Phoenix, which offers many amenities in a quiet atmosphere including enough wildlife to last a lifetime. Some others prefer Flagstaff or the White Mountains, both of which are considerably cooler in the summer months. Many of these Arizona retirement communities know what retirees are looking for and realize that many would prefer the active lifestyle. That is why so many of these retirement communities offer residents so many of the amenities that you will see offered, such as golfing, swimming, tennis, recreation centers and regularly scheduled activities. While there may be other reasons not listed here, most people will agree that one of the key reasons why people find their way to retired housing communities in Arizona, is because of the active adult choices they have to choose from. The choices along with the enticing climate, make Arizona retirement communities their first selection of 55 plus areas. While there are many cities in the state of Arizona that are considered hot spots for retirees, do you know what the most popular retirement Arizona city is? Have you heard of Prescott, Arizona? Prescott, Arizona has a small town feel to it, which many people prefer and seems to be the most popular city to many. It is located in the cool ponderosa pines in Northern Arizona and is known to many here in Arizona, as the "Mile High" city. Conveniently located 90 miles Northwest of Phoenix, Prescott offers four very mild seasons to both the visitors and residents all-year round. Prescott has more than 6 golf courses, which is pleasing to many. Prescott is also home to the Prescott National Forest. If you like hiking, you will have well over 450 miles worth of trails to enjoy these gorgeous (and good smelling) ponderosa pines. Looking for more reasons to choose Arizona for your retirement community? How about
