Fourth Pulte Sun City To Open In State...

Nearly 50 years after the first Sun City opened in Arizona, Pulte’s Del Webb brand is about to open the fourth such project, Sun City Festival.
Sun City Festival will have 7,200 homes on 3,300 acres in North Buckeye, along the high-growth Sun Valley Parkway Corridor.
Prices will range from $196,000 to $388,800 for floor plans from 1,300 to 2,800 square feet. Presales began in early March with the first closings slated for October.
Among Sun City Festival's amenities are two championship golf courses, a 31,000-square-foot community center, an outdoor amphitheater, outdoor activities, fitness areas, a state-of-the-art technology center and a large display kitchen to hold demonstrations and classes.
Del Webb says the market is ripe for over-55 housing because the U.S. population of 55- to 75-year-olds is estimated to exceed 80 million by 2020.
