Sun City Festival

Outstanding place to live. First class, beautifully built homes at affordable prices. Quality workmanship and exceptional people from sales to field manager. They truly care about you and are quick to answer questions or help in whatever way they can. It's been a fast and exciting 6 months watching our house being built long distance, and, as promised, we are now enjoying living in our amazing new home and community. #WeLoveArizona

We looked at every active adult community in PHX before making a decision to purchase in Sun City Festival. Del Webb's amenities are awesome and the home values, energy efficiencies, and low HOA dues are only a few reasons that made our decision to call Festival HOME. But truly, it's the people who make this community. I honestly believe you'll be hard-pressed to find a friendlier community out there. I'd also recommend a few night stay in their Vacation Villa's to experience this place. You'll have full use of all the amenities and then talk with residents at the Indigo Bar and Grill and you'll see why this place is special.

Have been to this community several times over the years and it is amazing to see how it is growing and offering a really great place to live. Have some friends that live here and they love how quiet it is away from the craziness of the city.

Great community. Amenities are fantastic. Festival has that quiet, away from city lights, feel with all the things you want for entertainment. Festival is growing with lots of new construction. My wife and I are excited about growth and possible more amenities. Only problem is lack of fenced dog park, we would like to see our furry friends enjoy running, off leash, in a controlled fenced area. Maybe in future

Beautiful and friendly community. Well built homes. Always something to do.

We love it here. The weather is great and the people are so friendly. We have not had a chance to take advantage of all the activities because we are still getting settled. We love the idea that we have a place to go and eat at the restaurant near the golf course. I am sure we will be here for a very long time and will enjoy every minute of it. Looking forward to all the fun things to do here. Thanks to everyone!!!!

We are so happy we chose Sun City Festival. We bought a spec home on the model home we wanted.. We have an enclosed yard and love the privacy of our backyard, enjoying our surround sound out on the patio. Pulte does a great job in building a home. A very nice community to live in and nice to come home from the hustle bustle of Surprise to the serene quiet and beauty of Sun City Festival.

Unless you personally experience the tranquility of this spectacular place, you couldn't possibly appreciate its natural beauty.Great golf facilities, many clubs and activitiesbased in the massive clubhouse.Barely twenty minutes away from bustling Surprise, itis a desert paradise with perfect weather and the starriest skies.We 'test-drove' the community by renting a home for a month. A great way to see if this is YOUR paradise!

My husband and I are thrilled with our decision to move to Sun City Festival. We both still work so we have a short commute but we love coming home after a long day to what feels like a luxury resort. We've made a lot of new friends and our home is just beautiful. It's so nice to have a brand new home, just like a brand new car! I think my favorite thing to do is relax by the pool while my husband golfs with his friends. Then we meet up for dinner at the Grille and talk about how we're gonna start that new diet tomorrow! Ha!

This is a fantastic active adult community. The homes are generous in size and come with all the upgrades you would want. The community is beautifully kept. The activities are plentiful and the neighbors are the best. You can't go wrong adding a visit to SC Festival to your winter or spring break. There is a spectacular 18 hole golf course, beautiful, fully-equipped gym, pools, spa, craft and woodworking shops. The softball field is gorgeous! The on-site restaurant has an amazing selection and if you're into happy hour you'll love the live bands and flowing drinks. If you enjoy starry night skies and amazing sunsets, Festival is where you want to be. We are located about 10 miles from town and it's so peaceful here. There's something for everyone at Festival! Come and be our newest neighbor.

If you are a golfer and have visions of playing very often, you better look at a different community. This is not the place for you. It’s next to impossible to make tee times and as more people move in it’s going to get worse. Otherwise, great community with lots to do and friendly people.

Visited my Uncle there and was initially impressed with the surroundings. Of course, this community is very isolated as it is located on the outer fringes of Surprise...and even much further away from established areas with better infrastructure. His doctors, the malls, and other important needs for living are actually 10-20+ miles away!! Yes, civilization is starting to catch up...but at what cost. You are really really car-dependent out here!
Basically, like previously mentioned, services that were promised are not living up to expectations...that includes the activities, the landscaping, the quality of the construction. And the home costs and and the amenities are not inexpensive by any means. Like we all must understand in life, customer service and promises are always top-notched until the money is put down.
All in all, my Uncle regrets the move here and feels he should have moved to a community more established and nearer to civilization.

Purchased a brand new home from Pulte Del Webb. Within only 5 weeks the air conditioning became a problem. Upon contacting the Pulte Del Webb Service Request Office I was told that the air conditioners in these homes "struggle to keep up in the hot weather" and the impression they clearly gave me was that they just were not very concerned. After placing my concern in writing, including one email to the CEO of Pulte, I finally seemed to get the proper response. The repair technician that was sent out seemed very professional. However, it did take several days to finally get it working, apparently primarily due to the expressed lack of concern on the part of Pulte Del Webb. In any event, it is disappointing that it was so difficult to get Pulte Del Webb to honor their warranty.With regards to the gym, the staff there lets the disinfectant wipe containers stay empty, not refilled, so seems like an unhealthy place to work out.Still a lot of construction going on so plan on being woken up at 5:30 AM every morning to the sound of heavy equipment, which seems to be the time the HOA is allowing them to start work.

The first time we visited Festival was 2 years ago. After a year of exploring other properties we decided to buy in Festival and have now been residents for a year. When we were given the realtor tour, we could see that the property, the landscaping, ponds, public areas were pristine and well maintained. During the last year, the areas visible to the prospective buyer have been maintained. What you don’t see is that deeper into the community, the landscaping needs attention, the ponds are drying up, and green space is now brown space. We were promised a quality dining venue called Indigo Grill. In the last 6 months, the quality of the food served has deteriorated a great deal while the prices were raised significantly. In the most recent report from Maricopa County, The Indigo Grill was given a “B” rating by health inspectors. During the summer months the bar in the outside patio closes and the area lacks a mister system. Keep in mind that Del Webb is only a name that Pulte purchased and that Del Webb's mission was to build and market a lifestyle. It is unfortunate that Pulte wants only to sell homes, refuses to expand on the amenities and is not sensitive to homeowner’s needs or wants.
In conclusion, “BUYER BEWARE”. What you are told and what is delivered most likely don’t match.

We are happy we bought here. BUT it has gone down hill. The Indigo Grill has continued to offer poor food while raising the prices and poor management, even though the HOA fees have to support their losses. It appears they may have cut down the watering of the common areas (except those by the sales office). The water features on the golf course look like they may be going dry (except those by the sales office). I would tell buyers to be aware and be careful!
