OVERVIEW

California has 27 Del Webb and Sun City 55+ active adult communities across Orange County, the Inland Empire, the Coachella Valley, the Sacramento area, the Bay Area, and the Central Valley. Price ranges run from the mid $200s in Bakersfield, Menifee, and Apple Valley to the mid $1Ms in Brea and Palm Desert. Communities range from 93 to 6,783 homes.

As one of the most well-regarded builders in active adult communities, Del Webb continues to set a high standard in 55+ living. Homebuyers know to expect skilled craftsmanship, affordable upgrades, and attentive customer service when they purchase a Del Webb home.

Del Webb has numerous communities across the United States, and California offers some of the sunniest. California has 27 Del Webb and Sun City communities, spread across the San Diego area, the Coachella Valley desert, the Inland Empire, Sacramento, and the Bay Area. Many of them are priced lower than a first-time visitor might expect.

One honest note on the numbers below: the price ranges shown are starting points, and they move with the market. For current pricing on any community, buyers can request more information and get figures that reflect today’s listings.

The list below covers all 27 communities, with home counts, square footage, and amenities for each.

Del Webb communities are age-restricted, 55+ active adult communities built around resort-style amenities and low-maintenance homes, so residents spend less time on upkeep and more time doing what they moved for. Del Webb is a national brand of PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM), which describes itself as a pioneer in active adult communities.

The “55+” label follows a specific federal rule. Under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), a community can qualify as “55 or older” when at least 80% of its occupied units have at least one resident age 55 or older, according to the federal HOPA rule in the Electronic Code of Federal Regulations (eCFR). That is one person per unit, not every occupant, and individual communities can set stricter rules.

Each community’s governing documents (CC&Rs), not federal law, set guest and visitor policies, including grandchildren staying over.

Gated community entrance at Wyndham Rose, a 55+ community in Apple Valley, CA.

Located two hours away from Los Angeles and Palm Springs, Wyndham Rose offers a tranquil location perfect for day trips to the big city. With 168 single-family homes, this peaceful community is tight-knit and neighborly.

Homes in Wyndham Rose are well-priced and range from 1,357 to 1,970 square feet. Models feature two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a one-car garage, and spacious yards. Residents can enjoy an outdoor community pool, as well as paved pathways for strolling or biking.

Nearby, residents can visit a variety of shops, restaurants, and parks, plus weekly farmer’s markets, flea markets, outdoor concerts, and yearly festivals.

Picture a Tuesday: a morning walk with neighbors, a pickleball match before lunch, a hobby-club meeting in the afternoon, then dinner on the patio while the sun is still warm. That rhythm, more than any single amenity, is what draws people to these communities.

The amenities support that rhythm rather than define it. Most California Del Webb and Sun City communities center on a clubhouse, with pools, fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, and full activity calendars run by residents and staff. Several sit on or beside golf courses. Many residents make their first real friends at the clubs.

California adds one thing the brochures cannot: the weather. A mild, year-round climate means the pools, courts, and walking trails stay in use year-round, not just in summer.

Comparing 27 communities across very different regions takes local knowledge. 55places Partner Agents specialize in these California markets and know individual communities well, so they can help buyers compare them.

What Del Webb communities are in California and where are they located?

California has 27 Del Webb and Sun City communities. They stretch across Southern California and Orange County, the Coachella Valley and high desert, the greater Sacramento area, the Bay Area and its outer suburbs, and the Central Valley around Bakersfield. That range means buyers can compare coastal, desert, wine-country, and valley settings without leaving the Del Webb family of communities.

What is the age requirement for a Del Webb community in California?

Del Webb communities in California are 55+ active adult communities. In practice, at least 80% of occupied homes must have at least one resident age 55 or older, which leaves room for a younger spouse or household member. Individual communities can set stricter standards, so buyers should confirm the exact policy for any community they are considering.

Are Del Webb communities in California gated?

Many are gated, and gated entrances are common across the state’s larger Del Webb and Sun City communities. Others are open-access with their own community feel and security arrangements. Because this varies by community, it is worth confirming the setup for any specific community, which a Partner Agent can help with.

Are Del Webb communities pet-friendly?

Generally, yes. Most Del Webb communities in California welcome pets, and many include walking paths and green space that make daily walks easy. Each community sets specific rules, such as the number of pets allowed and leash and common-area policies. Buyers with pets should confirm the details for any community on their list.

Can family and grandchildren visit or stay?

Yes. Family and grandchildren are welcome to visit Del Webb communities in California. How long a younger guest can stay is set by each community’s governing documents (CC&Rs), not by federal law, and those limits vary from one community to the next. Anyone planning extended visits should review the specific community’s guest policy before buying.

What do HOA fees typically cover in a Del Webb Community?

HOA fees generally cover landscaping and common-area upkeep, access to amenities such as the clubhouse and pools, and the community’s social and activity calendar. Some communities bundle in more than others. Amounts differ by community and change over time, so buyers should request the current fee and a breakdown of what it includes.

How much do homes in California Del Webb communities cost?

Prices vary widely by region, community, and home size, which is why each community above lists its own starting price range and the summary details buyers care about. Because those ranges move with the market, the most reliable figures come straight from current listings. Buyers can request more information on any community for up-to-date pricing.
