As one of the most popular retirement destinations in the country, Arizona offers a wide array of age-restricted active adult communities often hailed as some of the best places to retire in the state. This even includes the country’s first active adult retirement community: Sun City near Phoenix.
While Sun City and many of the earliest communities were initially opened with a 55+ age restriction, there are now many age-restricted communities designed with even younger active adults in mind. The lower age restriction allows builders to sell to younger buyers while simultaneously giving the community a more youthful and active appearance.*
