RELOCATION INFORMATION

The Northwest Valley Region Offers Eight Outstanding Communities 

El Mirage
A city that is expanding at a previously unimaginable pace. Considered the gateway to the Northwest Valley of the Greater Phoenix Metro Area, El Mirage has grown from a small town dependent on agriculture to a diverse urban economy with a population of more than 35,000. Located in the Valley of the Sun’s northwest corner, El Mirage is just south of some of the largest retirement communities in the United States: Sun City, Sun City West, and Sun City Grand.

Sun City 
There is a reason all the Sun Cities in the USA have reached their present-day popularity: the original retirement homes in Sun City, AZ, set a standard for retirement communities. Not only are the Sun City developments iconic in their layout and home style, but the residents enjoy a retirement experience that is unrivaled by other locations.
 
Sun City Festival & Festival Foothills (Buckeye)
Nestled below a picturesque mountain range, the peaceful surroundings offer a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The two master-planned communities are located in one of the fastest-growing housing markets in the U.S. Sun City Festival offers a 55+ resort-style community, and Festival Foothills features a family-centered experience. Conveniences are close by in the friendly town of Surprise located just 10 minutes away, where residents can find grocery stores, restaurants, and other amenities.
​
Sun City Grand 
Sun City Grand is known for its lush golf courses, beautiful water features, 5-star resort amenities, and views of the white tank mountains. The community is in Surprise, Arizona, and offers four championship golf courses, four swimming pools, two fitness centers, and three onsite restaurants. The community is perfect for those looking for a medium-sized newer retirement community with many first-time residents. 


Sun City West 
The nation’s premier active adult golf community offers the lifestyle you’ve been looking for. Sun City West offers everything active adults 55 and older could want in a community. Four Recreation Centers with over 100 chartered clubs, seven beautiful golf courses that are constantly maintained, a state-of-the-art bowling alley, a movie theater, and countless other activities. 

Surprise
 In addition to recreation of the land, Surprise hosts several other activities, such as tennis, golf (there are 20 golf courses in Surprise), and professional baseball. With its extensive shopping and employment opportunities, Surprise also serves as the anchor community for the entire NW Valley. In March, Surprise hosts two Major League Baseball teams at Surprise Stadium for spring training: the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers.

Waddell ​
Waddell is the gateway to the White Tank Mountains and one of the safest, most peaceful places in the NW Valley. The White Tank Mountains serve as its backdrop, and it has easy access to major cities, shopping, and highways. It's no wonder so many people choose this beautiful community to call home!

Wittmann
Wittman offers space to live, a stronger sense of local community, and a more relaxed pace of life.
Wittmann tends to offer more spacious properties, and its rural nature makes it far easier to return to basics and reconnect with nature. This makes Wittmann ideal for older people, parents raising young families, or simply those who want to live away from the hustle and bustle of urban centers.  Wittmann is 24 min away from Surprise (15.4 mi) via US-60 W/W Grand Ave.

​
Youngtown
This word " Youngtown" perfectly articulates the essence of Youngtown, a community of 6,200 with a distinct village feel located amid the thriving megalopolis of Phoenix. Originally designed to be a retirement community, the Town boasts a lovely lake, seven parks, and a distinctively designed town center named Clubhouse Square. Youngtown offers the advantages of a small town and provides a wealth of activities, entertainment venues, shopping, and educational facilities within a 10-minute drive.
