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.
  • Elderly population is vulnerable during extreme heat events; HVAC failures are life-safety emergencies in summer months.

Water System

EPCOR Water serves the community with groundwater and CAP allocations distributed through the original Del Webb infrastructure.

Emergency Access

Sun City Fire District provides dedicated coverage; Grand Avenue and Bell Road offer primary access routes.
