ARIZONA RESORT COMMUNITY
Are you entering that time in your life when you are looking to retire? Understanding what an Arizona Resort Community is and what they offer is the first step to your new life. Active adult communities are not much different than any other residential community. You will find one or two level single family homes, condominiums, and townhomes. The big difference is that these communities offer you a life with rich amenities. Each community will have a wide range of ways for its residents to keep active and enjoy every day. Resort communities are a great place for you to live and play among like-minded adults.

Like anything else, there are both pros and cons to consider. Choosing an Arizona resort community is no different. Maybe staying active during this new found freedom is your goal. Not only are there the sporting amenities of golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming, and fitness centers but a large emphasis is put on community events. There are clubs and organizations that offer a wide range of activities. Some include hiking club, biking club, arts/crafts, quilting and so much more! Most of these communities have a clubhouse with restaurants and bars, a library and billiards. Finding something to do will not be your problem. Choosing what to do will be!
Where there are pros, there are cons. Arizona Active Resort Communities have regulations. Most communities have a home owner’s association (HOA) and there are specific rules the homeowner must know and follow. Additionally, there is an age restriction to those 55 and above. However, some communities allow exceptions. A certain percentage can be 40+ as long as no one under the age of 19 lives in the home permanently. No need to worry though, your grandchildren are more than welcome to come to visit!
