# Why Arizona Ranks High Among Retirees

If you have heard that Arizona was a popular state to retire in, you are most certainly correct. Arizona ranks high when it comes to retirement. In fact, Arizona was actually the first state where retirement community living first got its start.
Did you know that it was Del Webb (now considered Pulte Homes) who started the idea of a retirement community?
According to Del Web, they opened their very first retirement community on New Years Day, 1960, in a suburb of Phoenix, known as Sun City, Arizona. The positive response was more than overwhelming. The first retirement community in Arizona paved the way for retired living in the United States. Ever since that day, retirement communities continue to pop up everywhere.
Del Webb is actually now a part of Pulte Homes and are not just known to Arizona, but also in 15 additional states. In Arizona, Del Webb/Pulte has certainly made a name for themselves and are very well known here and are one of the very well known and reputable home builders of Arizona retirement communities.
No matter if you prefer the quiet life or the fast-paced city life, both types of communities await you in the retirement communities of Arizona.
Baby-boomers, or snowbirds, as they are sometimes referred to, have flocked to the Phoenix metropolitan area for many years. This area has long been considered an ideal retirement choice and for many good reasons. First of all, you have the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert sun along with well over 300 days a year of sunshine.
Known for its gorgeous sunsets and the many recreational activities, golf is probably one of the most popular reasons that retirees make Arizona their home. There are literally hundreds of courses for the golf fan along with so many other popular activities such as tennis, various sightseeing tours, Native American culture and, of course the Grand Canyon to explore.
If you were to ask any of the retirees already living in Arizona, they would likely tell you that another reason why they enjoy their retired life in Arizona is because they are so conveniently located to so many of their necessary things. If the outdoors is what you are looking for, Arizona can certainly provide you an endless list of lakes and rivers which attracts so many anglers to the desert southwest. In addition, you will find just as many mountains that make up Arizona and make it the beautiful state that it is. Even Las Vegas is not that far away from Arizona!
Retirement community living can be found throughout the state and not just in Phoenix. Many parts of the "valley of the sun," as the Phoenix area is ofte called, offers retired living at its best. It just depends on where you would like to live.
Some people prefer Scottsdale over Phoenix, or maybe Tucson. Some people prefer Gold Canyon, a city located about 35 minutes east of Phoenix, which offers many amenities in a quiet atmosphere including enough wildlife to last a lifetime. Some others prefer Flagstaff or the White Mountains, both of which are considerably cooler in the summer months.
