Arizona is one of the top three 55+ community markets in the country. The Phoenix metro alone has more active adult inventory than most states combined — from the original Sun City (the community that invented the concept) to modern resort-style communities in Surprise, Goodyear, Mesa, and Queen Creek. Tucson and Green Valley add a second corridor with lower price points.
