Sun City West is the second of the Sun Cities in the NW corner of the Phoenix Valley. Construction and homes sales began in 1978 as the first Sun City sold out. It took until 1997 for Sun City West to complete their build-out. The community boundaries are Bell Rd to the south, Grand Avenue to the east and El Mirage to the west. The new state road 303 curves around the northern boundary. Most of Sun City West is excluded from the Maricopa School Districts, and therefore enjoys lower real estate tax. The lower real estate taxes combined with the low maintenance fees make Sun City West a very desirable location for the retiring active adults on a fixed income. The financial incentive plus the tremendous number of clubs and activities and of course the opportunity to play 9 golf courses all combine to create another extremely desirable 55+ retirement location. The variety of single level home styles, patio homes, and condos offer a wide range of home pricing. Within the community the streets are approved for driving your golf carts and you will find shopping, churches, and banks, drug stores, grocery stores and the Del Webb hospital.
