As one can imagine with Tucson AZ’s incredible climate we have a lot of people that purchase second homes and even more that decide to retire here. In Tucson AZ Age Restricted Communities/Neighborhoods, 55+ Communities, and even 45+ Communities are spread all over the Tucson valley. These types of neighborhoods provide residents to be able to be “Active Adults”. These communities have age restrictions meaning that one or both residents must be above a certain age (typically 55) to be allowed to reside in the community. Most neighborhoods have very large community centers that offer large pools, fitness equipment, workout areas, spas, game rooms, etc.. I have personally seen a lot of these clubhouses and to say the least they are very nice, most are in excess of 50,000sqft. Active Adult communities (Also referred to as 55+ Communities, Age Restricted Neighborhoods, etc) are available all over the Tucson area. Some of the most popular reside in the city of Green Valley. (25 Minutes south of Tucson) Some individual neighborhoods that are some of the most popular include Sonora at Rancho Sahuarita, Rancho Resort, Quail Creek, Sunflower at Continental Ranch, Bel Air Ranch Est, Outpost Estates II, Continental Ranch Sunflower, Sun City Vistoso, Heritage Highlands At Red Hawk, Saddlebrooke, Heritage Highlands, Canoa Ridge, Quail Creek, Rancho Vistoso, Valley Ranch Garrison Ad, Rancho Del Lago, Casas Del Oro Norte, La Joya Verde, Green Valley Fairways 3, Sonora At Rancho Sahuarita, Legends at Santa Rita Springs, San Ignacio Golf Estates, Las Campanas, Greens At Santa Rita Springs, Green Valley CC Est, Canoa Seca, Portillo Hills Place, Green Valley Country Club Estates
