About Sun City

Sun City is a community of approximately 39,570 residents in Maricopa County County, AZ. This close-knit community values compassionate, local service providers who understand the bond between families and their pets.

America's original active-adult community built 1960–1978 with aging but well-maintained single-story homes on compact lots.

Single-story block and stucco homes from 900 to 1,800 sq ft with carports, built around community recreation centers and golf courses.

Local Considerations

  • Original 1960s–1970s construction means widespread need for re-plumbing, electrical panel upgrades, and roof replacements.
