Cool Home Sun City From Awful to Awesome!!
Where are the people?
In China and India 😂😂😂
"HOA"? You have to be absolutely dumb to live anywhere with HOA.
Could it be real estate prices are low because the houses are older? 1960s to 1980s? And you mentioned it was quiet. What about Luke Air Force Base. I've heard people say it can be very noisy.
Hi Neumanns-Adventures. I don't think prices are lower because of the age of homes. There are neighborhoods in Phoenix with older homes that are very expensive, like Arcadia. Maybe the age restricted status is part of the reason. And yes there are jets which fly over the area but they are not constant.. it's loud but they don't fly over all of the time.
Amongst the worst things are neighborhood associations lack of consistency , and lack of water. Promised updates at Mountainview rec center has been ongoing for the past 15 years.
Mom lives in one on a golf course. This is a great option for snowbirds or people who don’t want to or can’t do yard work. You do have to watch the finances depending on the HOA. To add a back patio she needed to get HOA approval from 90% of owners, so more similar to a Condo association. In hers the association is responsible for the roofs, exterior painting, etc. so you have to know the common property financials and if they have enough to cover or if you could be facing a special assessment. That being said, she’s enjoyed living in hers and we’ve visited several times.
Thanks Dave, for your connect! It's great to hear about experiences of people who own the twin home. I'm sure it helps people who are considering this as a housing option!
Hope you love 120 degrees for 6 months straight 😂😂😂
First one ideal for a single person, beautiful kitchen, garage and great patio area. The second one also has a wonderful patio area and the extra living space is really nice. The gemini homes have really nice courtyard areas, and the eat in kitchen in that first one was So nice, especially having the sink by the window!
Thanks EweToob!! I appreciate your feedback :)
What do you think of the properties profiled here?
The first gemini home was ideal. Very nice and bright. I didn't hear the HOA fee amounts mentioned for the properties though.
@@ElhamD1968 Hi Elham.. I didn't include the fee because they are different in each community.
Nicely done
Thanks so much, Red!
Great video and to the point.
Living in a retirement community is like living in the twilight zone. It’s heaven’s waiting room. People here are board out of their minds. Your business is everyone’s business. Perfect houses horrible people, the 55 plus or 45 plus is a sales thing. Everyone is at least 75.
Boy, there maybe a very few home there for sale at 400K but all the listings I see are 500+K. these days(9months later).
Hi Porschmn, thanks for your comment! I actually checked the listings and there are several homes for less than $400K, there's even one today for $300K! So there are still many opportunities for good opportunities in The Grand :)
Great review. SCW has more to offer. The Grand has traffic issues with the 60. We bought sight unseen in Corte Bella which is in SCW but not privy to the SCW ammenities. Had we known we would have considered SCW instead.
Thanks cj for your comment. I've not seen Corte Bella and was wondering about the amenities there. I imagine it doesn't have the clubs that Sun City West has.
@@suncityazhomesbycarlayoung CB is overrated..new management and the grounds are atrocious…amenities are limited, classes always cancelled. Which is why we looked into SCW’s rec center..was told we had to buy a house in SCW! The only great thing is the guard shack but people can circumvent that too!
@@cj9667 That's too bad cj. Thanks for sharing that information. :)
Thanks, I had no idea about this fee. Good to plan for as we will be joining our kids in Arizona within the year.
Thanks Susan for your comment. I'm glad you were able to get some valuable information from the video.
All were very nice. Number 1 would work for a snowbird. I thought the largest one would be over $300K.
Thanks Laura! It's a great opportunity for less than $300K. :)
You're gorgeous 😍🥰
Nice job Carla. That last condo looked like a mini mansion. 😊
Yes, it's huge, I'd love to live there!
What do you think about these condos?
Townhouses?
Thanks finance485 for your question. There are very few condo units available in The Grand, in a community called Village at Sun City Grand. Units there are 1,000 square foot and smaller. Hope this helps answer your question finance 485.
Money well spent
Damn those houses are close together. I would never want to live that close to another family.
Hey ,suncityazhomesbycarlayoung I have seen your videos which are really awesome and video Thumbnails are so eye-catching. But due to some errors in your Channel and Videos like (SEO and Optimization ) Your videos are not Reaching your Targeted audience and that's why after uploading a lot of videos you are not getting expected Views and Subscribers in your channel . I am a UA-cam SEO Expert and if you want I can help you to solve these problems. As a result I can say that you will be able to see much better results than you currently have in your Channel. Also I have audited your channel and created a report. I want to show you, but how can I contact you?
Thanks for walking me through an extensive review of ,many of the houses I appraised over the course of my career.
Thanks Michael for your comment and for watching!
Are the rats at the Phoenix VA really bigger than cats ?
Great video Carla
Thanks Billy :)
This was a good comparison, thank you!
You're welcome Ewetoob!
Wow, great video! Both areas look really nice
Thanks Stephanie!
Which community do you prefer?'
It's hard to say,they both have very appealing features. Are the older homes in SCW alot less energy efficient or is it not that big of a difference?
Her voice is so obnoxious
Glad to see everyone is as stiff and slow as I am now! 😉
Dad paid and died. Paid 5500. Day after I paid 5500. No forgiveness. 11k in a month. Enjoy
I'm sorry about your experience Tyler. That was in Sun City? Something doesn't sound right... the only way you'd have to pay the $5000 would be when the title is transferred but not twice. Please reach out to me at carla@carlayoung.com if you want to talk about this.
Very helpful video
Thanks so much Susan! I appreciate your feedback :)
nice video
Thanks Chris!
So cute!!!
They were so fun to visit!
It was such a great time visiting the Alpacas!!
I see some listed without hoa info. Do some single family homes not have a hoa fee.
Thanks for your question... Yes, the single family homes do not have an HOA fee!
Hello, I'm brazilian. I was at Sun City West from November 29, 2023 to January 7, 2024.
Hi Junia, did you like your time in Sun City West?
yes@@suncityazhomesbycarlayoung
Excellent and very helpful video!
Thanks so much @msb5291! Glad you liked it. I'll be doing differences between Sun City West and Sun City Grand soon!
Great info!!
Thanks Stephanie :)
Are there pockets of mid century modern neighborhoods in Sun City/Sun City West? That is, minimalist ranch single story flatter roofs that have open floor plans and mid century modern external and internal designs? I notice that there are many ranch homes but very few Ralph Have/Ed Beadle type mid century modern homes in Sun City/Sun City West neighborhoods.
Yes Stephanie, there are some homes here in Sun City that have the flat or almost flat roofs and high ceilings inside. They were built in phases ll and lll of Sun City in the mid 1970s. They are attractive and have a nice open feel inside because of the tall ceilings. I hope this answers your question! Please let me know if you have any additional questions. :)
Great info Carla! Is it possible to run PVC pipe inside the old iron pipe?
Hi Shawn, I don't know specifically if you can do that.. but I know there are companies that do something similar to that... it's a great way to solve the problem by recoating the inside of the old pipe!
Plumbing and sewer issues are a big concern of mine buying in Sun City. What about townhouses or condos? Who covers sewer issues for townhouse owners? How do you know the HOA is in the financial position for extensive sewer repair? Do they add the cost of major repairs to the HOA fees? TIA
Hi Michael, thanks for asking your question! I've seen some townhome associations include the sewer lines in their maintenance fees, but it all depends on that particular association. If I'm helping a buyer with a townhome or condo purchase, I find out what exactly the HOA fees cover. Also, I can find out the financial condition of the HOA to determine if it has enough money in reserves to pay for unexpected repairs. So it varies from association to association. Are you currently looking for something in Sun City?
@@suncityazhomesbycarlayoungThanks for the reply. I’ve been thinking about it for a while but I’m still weighing all my options and am unsure of my future plans and options. It’ll likely be the last big move in my lifetime so I have a lot to figure out. Thanks for the information.
You're welcome, Michael! Please call on me if you have any questions or needs. My email is Carla@carlayoung.com and my phone is 808-295-1776. @@michaeltorrey3603
@michaeltorrey3603 agree with you about it being the last big move. I have lived in the Chicago area for 43 years, but for weather & property tax reasons, hoping to make a move to a warmer climate in about 19 months from now when I retire in Spring, 2025, fingers crossed.
Very practical information for prospective buyers. No one wants sewage back up in their drains. My townhouse in suburban Chicago was built in 1974. 2 years ago, I had a pipe failure in my laundry room. It was not a pleasant situation, and it was not a cheap repair..about $5,000. Fortunately, my homeowner's insurance coveted about 40% of the repair cost.
So glad your insurance covered that repair, Laura!
I love the buyers guide. Thanks Carla!!
Thanks Stephanie :)
Excellent advice, thank you
You're welcome ewetoob!
So if you don't want to turn your yard into a make shift prison and your puppy into a canine terminator lol....Coyotes are open season all year round in Arizona. They are considered a dangerous nuisance and pest. It is illegal to feed wildlife in Arizona so never intentionally harbor them with food or water or den sights. They carry disease that can be transferred to your pets and you. Mange and rabies as examples. You can't discharge a firearm in Sun City or Maricopa County within 100 yards of dwelling but there are alternatives. Call the Maricopa County and visit the Arizona Fish and Game for more details. Pellet guns are not considered firearms and they pack a wallop. Trust me you will not be able to catch a coyote running a way with your pet. But a pellet gun will hit them at up to 60 yards and likely cause enough pain to make them drop your pet. So a pellet gun might be a good alternative. I have seen cats taken and small dogs taken right off their leash while being walked. Coyotes can be very bold and they won't waste time dispatching your pet. Do not underestimate them. The can run for miles at 30 miles an hour. I have seen them clear a 6 foot fence from a standing position so the roll bar idea seems like false security since they don't always stop on top off the wall. Coyotes are very athletic canines. You can also petition the RCSC to eliminate these pests. By Arizona law it is the duty of a landlord to eliminate pests. Since many of these coyotes live, breed and access property from the golf courses where they find food and water and den sights, you may have an argument that they aren't doing enough to prevent these pests from invading your space. The golf courses are infested with them. You can pay to have a service licensed to remove them but this is usually cost prohibitive. Lastly, avoid owning a pet. That will at least save you some anxiety. Good luck.
