Summer Heat - 12/8/2016
We arrived to take possession of our home at then of April (2016). During the first four months we had many days when the temperature reached 120. When I see that Sperling's reports July highs of 104, I think it's only right that folks should know - if they happen to read the Climate comments - that they can expect much high temperatures, at least some years. Read More

Best of Living - 3/8/2010
My wife and I live in a Del Webb retirement community - called Sun City West, in Phoenix Arizona. Since I am now in my early seventies, it has proven to be just perfect for us. We purchased an older 1988 home; however, I have completely remodeled the home to more than like-new. I am actually a retired Honeywell computer hardware/software engineer; however I have been a full time Realtor for 13-years and own a web design company where we develop internet web sites. Living in Phoenix in the retirement community allows an easy, enjoyable lifestyle, although I do spend a great amount of my time in my businesses. I've actually lived in the Phoenix valley since 1960, an although the summers are hot, it's nothing now like it was in the 60's. The winters area absolutely perfect. It's the perfect place to Read More

Excellant place to retire. - 12/29/2006
I have lived in the Sun Cities area ,(there are several)since 1990 and have lived here year round. It is true that the summers can be hot, but the lack of humidity makes a big difference. For most of 9 months out of the year you can kick back and enjoy life to it's fullest. With so many venues now in our state I can't imagine what else you could want. My wife is a Realtor here and she just loves showing people the lifestyle you can have here and most of the homes in the Sun Cities Areas are very affordable and taxes are very low because we have no school districts to support. If you come to visit look us up. Jack Read More
