Arizona is a great place to retire – and the word is getting out! We’ve put together a list of just a few of our favorite active retirement communities in the area to help you narrow down all the choices.
Corte Bella
If you’re looking for a smaller community with a more intimate setting, look no further than Corte Bella in Sun City West with its 1,650 homes.
Corte Bella is a uniquely designed development that has considered all the important details that make up an upscale, active retiree community. Developers even went as far as collecting feedback from their target market to be sure the property would offer what others may not.
Residents of Corte Bella love it for its smaller and community-oriented atmosphere, and its resort-style feel with architectural inspirations from Europe and Southern California. The community also boasts a perfectly manicured private golf course, 12,000 square foot fitness center and spa, and a 9,000 square foot Social Hall for all their community events.
The homes in Corte Bella range from 1,100 to 3,200 square feet and have all the upgrades and amenities you’d expect from this kind of resort-style community.
Pebble Creek
The 6,200 home Pebble Creek in Goodyear, Arizona, is perfect for the active 55+ community. With endless amenities and social activities, retirement is far from a slower-paced lifestyle in this neighborhood.
Sure, Pebble Creek has all the country club amenities you’d expect from a resort-style property in Arizona – pools, spa, dance studio, fitness center – but the community has so much more. What about a clubhouse that has a café, gourmet hot dog stand, full-service restaurant and bar, billiards, a library, and a stadium-seating theater? They have it. Even if you’ve already retired, there is no getting bored at Pebble Creek.
Westbrook Village
If you’re looking to live in one of our favorite Arizona towns – Peoria – then head on over to Westbrook Village and discover this well-established active community in Central Arizona.
