Check out lot rents around Sedona! I don’t trust these park owners, either.

Too hot you will die much sooner living there

I prefer closed concept. PLEASE bring it back.

1236 sq feet is more than acceptable. I presently live in a little over 1700 sq feet and it is simply too large for one person to rattle around in. We are old! We do not have the energy, nor the inclination to clean a big house with many rooms. I would welcome 1236 sq feet - gladly.

Hi Shawn! Nice showing of the Bali model. Can't wait to move into mine at Saddlebrooke Ranch! Thanks for all your help making this happen. You're the best!

These homes, from the smallest to the largest, are just so beautiful. Their color palettes are elegant and tranquil. The staging is great. They all have great storage. The amount of light is fantastic! Too bad that, with the pricing and current interest rates, most of the working class and so many retirees are left out. It is what it is, I suppose. I'm grateful that I got my north central corridor 863 sq. ft. (exterior measurements) 1975 two-bedroom, perpetually dark, lacking-in-storage, condo with a 3% interest rate and a hefty downpayment from a previous home's profit. I was really blessed, and I do love the character of the older homes in my area - but there's nothing like the feel and even the smell of a new-construction home, and these are really great.

Home owners Associations = always someone needing to CONTROL the population of the community. Just like PTA's. Home owners associations have been hideous for me in the past. NEVER again. No room for guests to park if there is the people with two cars OR MORE - use it. No fences for your dogs - if they are allowed. Same in senior apartments. Oh and if you want to repaint your home - you have to get approval on the color white - they may not like your white paint - so they fine you. So many fines. I watched your video to see the layout of the homes. They are all very BIG in my world. Very nice for people that like to compete with neighbors. I would prefer OFF GRID with chickens and goats, dogs and cats, and a garden to grow my own food.

How about don’t come here and retire at all? It’s crowded, you bring your money and price the locals out of housing, and you whine about the heat and the critters. Please find somewhere else.

Unfortunately, land leases and the fact that they continue to go up, and we have no saying keeps me away from this communities.

Nice presentation

The question is: Where can healthy, clear headed, clear thinking, non religious, non racist retirees go where there are not abusive senior parks ready to snap up your property - which is why there are so many of them.

1226 sq ft is not a small home. My 2 bed/2bath is just over 900 sq ft. It feels big and spacious with an open floor plan and a large covered porch that spans front of house!

Are you kidding? These are gigantic. Haha! 1236 square feet? HUGE. This was the standard size for a family of 4 when we were young.

We bought a Dell Webb new build in a 55+, similar Floorplan 1280 sq ft. Love it. Were done with larger homes that too much energy

Great idea, just wish these options were closer in to East Valley, QC etc.

Theses are GREAT!!!! Excellent video. HOA? Any other monthly or yearly fees or taxes? thank you!

Good point about even surface to clean on electric vs gas stovetop.

LOVE these homes! The smaller homes are perfect! Thank you for posting! Lots to think about. 😊🤙🏼

One roll of toilet paper in the casita! That’s a good trick!

how much is that gasoline golf cart

104 - 110 in the summer. NO Thank you! Isn't Arizona running out of water? Climate change will impact the area greatly. And you may pay less for a mobile home but you don't own the land so you will be Renting on top of your mortgage AND will be at risk of uncontrollable land lease increases. Not very secure for a fixed income. I would hate to be 80 and get and notice the land lease is going up. At that point, you are stuck since your mobile home is NOT mobile. Do your research.

I see a lot of comments about not being affordable anymore. Housing went up everywhere during covid, including Green Valley. A lot of boomers retiered earlier than expected driving up prices 40-50%. The old folks selling now want the 2022 covid price for a home with no updates. Those are not selling, they sit on the market. Most homes are about 40 years old now. No one wants your 40 year old bathrooms and kitchen. Nicely updated homes priced below 2022 levels sell imediately. If you can buy cash and have patience you will score. Green Valley is nice!

Yuma is hottest place in Arizona. Summers are horrible. Same as Bullhead City. No one should voluntarily live in Sonoran desert area in Summer. That includes Phoenix and all areas around it. Winters yes, are very nice.

Az is too expensive to live getting to hot 🔥 over priced home and a shortage of affordable homes

$555,000 for a 1416 sq ft is a good price? You have to be kidding!

empty sidewalks...

Too darn hot for me. Even Sedona was too hot when we looked there.

Love it!

What is the option for seniors who don't want to live in an HOA 55+ community but also DON'T want to move into a regular neighborhood with all of those problems? Seems like you are screwed either way.

Arizona is no longer cheap, California has ruined this state.

Arizona is NOT cheap, car insurance, home insurance, and housing has gone up so high since moving here in 2020. Besides being too hot, we are moving.

The last thing I need, or the country needs for that matter, is another layer of dictatorial government telling me how to live my life. NEVER AN HOA NEIGHBORHOOD

Arizona is a driving city and if you cannot drive, you are stuck! Also be prepared to pay $300-$500 a month during the hot summer and it finally cooled down about a week ago. My sister said but her bill have been running about $400-$500 for the last five months.

Association goes up every year. Just sold my miami condo. Then there is an assessment if a new roof is needed

I used to pet sit in an upscale 55+ community where 3 car garages were standard. Most of those garages were full of unopened boxes my clients brought with them when they downsized 2-3-4 years previously. (The community was 4 years old.) You don't need that stuff. Get rid of it.

Darn nit pickers, great advice Thank you.

Upon research and watching your videos, this is the place I want to buy. Once my 15 year old dog goes to doggy heaven, I am placing my house up for sale. I will phone you when this time arrives.

Homes may be affordable BUT the HOA is unbelievable unreasonable

Thank you for your helpful information. I moved into a 52 plus in 2017. I made a couple of friends. But this facility was owned by City investors. Lawyers, Doctors, people with money who needed a tax write off. Sad to say this building was not owned by the Housing Authority but was managed by one. They had 3 buildings there. One was market rate which was independent senior living and the one I lived in and the other 2 were owned by them. One building was assisted living and the other I do not know. I just know that they had their power bill paid and probably auto draft on rent. It was on the beach and was redone for seniors after a major hurricane. It was nice, right across from the beach and I felt I had finally arrived, but unfortunately they started putting housing choice vouchers in there. Now let me clarify that we were full rent and they were paying a third, but again I had friends on housing choice that came in and obeyed the rules and were very clean. My neighbor however started smoking inside and also doing meth. He would scream all night screaming help me help me. I almost did not get out with my life. I lost all my furniture that I loved that I bought at thrift over a few years after I was abandoned by my deceased husband. But that is nothing. 2 ladies across the hall were not so lucky ... they died. The ducts were interconnecting. Anyway I tried to get the managers to do something. They just told me I was imagining things. I tried to talk to city officials who wrote me off and I know that now it is because they were all in bed together. I did not stop working on that problem and realized that the State Health department is gonna to see about that. It was right after I left, I wrote them and told them all the terrible things that were dangerous. But especially about this guy. You may wonder who regulates things, why the city of course, but the state does not answer to the city. One other thing that they watch. They look to see who has family that comes and sees about their loved ones. That is another reason why they fired our security man, and they pulled up the pool with no reduction in our rent. We did at least have a guy that would keep an eye on things but they framed him because they did not want to pay him and that is another reason why they pulled up the pool ... because he kept it clean. It is a drug free, smoke free building but no one enforced it after they let the little guy go. So when the State Health Dept got it, they showed up and guess what??? Yes you got it. They told him to answer the door and right now. They had to gut his apartment and redo everything. A little late for the ladies across the hall.

Problem...you have a high hoa's fees with this area. Victory's and Verrado.

There is way too much money in this kitchen, half the cabinets are totally out of reach. No older person should have to climb on a stool to reach them. Every shower should have a build in seat and grab bars and needs to be deep enough to maneuver a wheel chair, which is at least 36 inches deep. The water closet can only be used by people who have full mobility. It is way too small for people with handicaps and the door is not practical. Most older people will use their own bathroom in the house to avoid conflicts. For seniors it's better to design two different spacious suites with generous bedrooms and bathrooms because most older couples sleep for many reasons in separate quarters. There needs to be at least 3 feet to the right and left of the bed to get safely around. Don't buy a home with a free standing tup. It's extremely hard to get in and out (especially for short people) and very dangerous especially when wet because there is nothing to hang on to.

Gorgeous and congrats!

Great video thanks for the information 👍😎👍

Great tips on things to consider first before moving into a 55+ community! On your glasses--- I think you would look friendlier with more feminine glasses that have a little bling at the outer corners. A little bling will highlight your stunning blue eyes!!! No reason to hide them with black glasses....

1400 sq ft, 555,000, HOA.

Thank you for this really good video. I wanted to go down and see the Villages but now I’m not so sure. The hurricanes frighten me. I need to visit Arizona. Been there before but just to Grand Canyon. Love the glasses!
