Active Adult & 55+ Communities in Arizona

Why Arizona Stands Out for Active Retirement Living

  • Warm & Sunny Climate: Bask in Arizona's sun, with its year-long sunny days, perfect for outdoor pursuits.
    Affordable Living: Enjoy a relaxed lifestyle without breaking the bank thanks to Arizona's reasonable cost of living.
  • Natural Wonders: Explore the Grand Canyon, the majestic Sedona buttes, and countless national parks that will leave you in awe.
  • A Thriving Active Adult Scene: The trend of active adult communities began here in the 1960s, making Arizona a pioneer in senior living.

Benefits Exclusive to Arizona’s Active Adult Communities

  • Outdoor Adventures: Whether it’s bird watching, exploring wine countries like Alcantara, or boating on pristine lakes, adventure beckons at every corner.
  • A Blend of Nature and Luxury: With the natural beauty of the desert landscapes paired with upscale amenities, Arizona offers a blend unmatched elsewhere.
  • Tax Benefits: Arizona is known for its friendly tax policies, especially for retirees, making it an even more attractive destination.

Perks of Active Adult Communities

  • Dynamic Lifestyle: From morning yoga sessions to evening dances, these communities are buzzing with activities tailored for the 55+ crowd.
  • Close-Knit Neighbors: Form lasting friendships and bonds with like-minded individuals who share your zest for life.
  • Top-Notch Amenities: Whether it’s healthcare, recreational facilities, or gourmet dining, Arizona’s communities offer the best in class.
