Shea Homes has built an impressive collection of active adult communities in Arizona. Let\'s take a look at what they have to offer.

There are five Shea Homes communities in Arizona, including four gated Trilogy communities. Some homes in the Trilogy communities come equipped with solar power, and Shea Homes made a point of building extra-large clubhouses. Locations were found that allowed for the building of a private community with proximity to major highways and cities.

These Shea Homes communities in Arizona are for 55+ active adults, except for Trilogy at Verde River which has no age restriction. Also, all but Mountainbrook Village are gated communities.
