I retired in the Original Sun City in 1979...I still love it here!! The fee's have gone up but that's ok. It's a nice place to live if you enjoy living on the surface of the sun.
Carla - I found your youtube channel by chance. My wife (whose 72) and I (62) are planning to move to Sun City, AZ later next year (2022). We lived in Chandler, AZ (2008 - 2010) and now we're living in Ocala, FL. Anyway, my wife wants to move back to Arizona because her daughter and grandkids live there and I have a sister who lives in Modesto, CA. So, both of us will be closer to family. Also, I just wanted to mention... you have a calm, and welcoming voice. We'll have to contact you when we arrive in Arizona. Also, I've subscribed to your channel.
Note Sun City West mandates full recreational annual payments per titled person on the home so if you and your husband own a home and you are each listed on the home's title you pay double Recreation fees. GREAT VIDEOS i enjoy them and living in sun city
Hi Carla, Very informative comparison between the 2 communities. If a single person purchases a home in Sun City West, are they charged $497 or $497 x 2 for the recreation fee?
Hi Carla. Thank you for your video. We are very interested in sun city or sun city west. If you purchase a home and only use it for a month or two can you rent it out for the 9 or 10 months the rest of the year?
Hi Dan, thanks for your question! Yes you can rent your property if it's not in an HOA that doesn't allow rentals. You'd be ok with all of the single family homes in Sun City and some of the townhomes. Most of the homes in Sun City West you can rent, but there are a few which are in HOAs. And the Sun City West townhomes are in HOAs and some of them wouldn't allow rentals. It's a great idea, especially if you would rent out your place for winter visitors! Please email me at Carla@CarlaYoung.com if you have more questions, Dan.

Bob, thank you so much for writing! Please let me know how I can help you prepare for your move back to Arizona!

My parents lived in Sun City West until for a while until the heat got to be too much. They just ended moving back to SoCal.
We live in Sun City Georgetown Texas.

Hi Laura, they are charged just the one time. Sun City West is charged per person. Thanks for watching and for commenting on the videos :)
@@suncityazhomesbycarlayoung There is also an entry fee to move into Sun City West.
@@wanaraz Yes, you're correct, it's called a Property Preservation and Improvement Fee. Both Sun City West and Sun City have this fee.
Not all... how are you doing?

Thanks, Ed, for pointing that out. I didn't think about the lakes in Sun City. That's another great difference. Thanks again, Ed. :)
