Sun City Festival
Great community, but with only 27 golf holes it is nearly impossible to get tee times. The sales agents told everyone buying here that Pulte (the builder) was planning to build another 18 holes. If you are not a golfer, then this is an incredible place to live. Lots of amenities but only one small restaurant to accommodate the 4500 current homes with another 3000 planned.
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.
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
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.
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.
