The Valley of the Sun is where 55+ living began — Sun City, the country's first active adult community, opened here in 1960 and is still one of the largest in America at 28,000+ homes. Today, the Phoenix metro stretches from Surprise and Buckeye in the west to Mesa and Gilbert in the east. Whether you prefer the upscale desert scenery and high-end dining of the North Valley or a quieter, slower-paced environment further south in Casa Grande, the Phoenix metro area provides a neighborhood style to complement every target budget.

With 300+ days of sunshine, no state tax on Social Security, and an average home price around $493K, the Phoenix area draws more 55+ buyers than any other metro in Arizona. Whether you're looking for a golf-focused master plan like PebbleCreek or Robson Ranch, a resort-style community like Sun City Festival, or an affordable entry point in Surprise or Casa Grande, there's a community for every lifestyle and budget. 55places has profiled all 72 communities with verified pricing, resident reviews, and local agent connections.

Living in a Phoenix-area 55+ community

What’s the difference between retiring in the East Valley vs. the West Valley?

It comes down to density and lifestyle. The West Valley (Surprise, Buckeye, Peoria) is the heavy hitter for active adult living, dominated by 38 massive, resort-style master planned cities featuring over 1,000 homes each. The East Valley (Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler) offers a more established, suburban feel with a higher concentration of the Valley's 38 smaller, intimate 55+ neighborhoods built for quieter, low-density living.

How many days of sunshine does the Phoenix area get?

300+ days of sunshine each year
