Sun City Oro Valley (SCOV) is a 55+ retirement community built by Del Webb. Now it is owned and run by the residents. Streets are handle by the City of Oro Valley. We bought our home 4 years ago after much research into retirement communities. The location is great, just north of Tucson. The amenities in SCOV are fantastic, along with the 150 clubs. The majority of the residents here are all happy and love living the life as a retiree here in Sun City. There are always a few bad apples wherever you go. There are rules here, like any other HOA, and they are very doable. They have been keeping everything consistent and in balance for 38 years. It was a great decision we made for our retirement years. It’s like being in Disney World every day!

My sister lives in Sun City and I visit regularly. I have enjoyed the Cafe, library and pool. Her home is beautiful and the view is exceptional. We were able to park our RV overnight and connect our tow vehicle before leaving. That was a major benefit for us.

Beautifully run community with exceptional office staff and management. Incredible views, convenient to nearly everything, well-kept grounds, updating facilities as need be. It is such a blessing to wake up in paradise each and every day. Can't imagine living anywhere else!

This is a perfect neighborhood for 50 and older folks. With a great view of the Catalinas that reliably turn pink as the sun sets, it has great amenities and a very friendly feel. About half the homes are owned by snowbirds, like us, who always yearn to get back each winter. The full timers take care of things when we depart. The community has a lot of pride and properties are well maintained. There is a monthly magazine published to advise of the extensive learning, social, exercise activities available.

My wife and I visited this community because we were looking for a retirement location. We were treated to an overview of the community and a very pleasant tour of its amenities via golf cart. Although this was originally a Del Webb development, it is now owned by the homeowners association and run by an elected board of directors. The facilities are beautifully maintained. The roads are maintained by the municipality, which lessens the financial burden of the homeowners. Everything looks top-notch. The people we talked to were friendly and expressed significant pride in their community. The area is beautiful, but seems to be booming with other developments and planned developments. Another thing to be aware of: it is a long drive to the airport from here. However, I felt this was a wonderful retirement spot, and we are giving it serious consideration. BTW, the houses are not sold through the HOA. You buy from the individual homeowner, usually through a real estate broker.

How our free service works, and how we are paid

Arizona asks us to share this with you in writing before we introduce you to a community.

MyLivingChoice is a free service that helps you find senior living. We are paid by our participating communities: if you move into a community we introduced you to, that community pays us a referral fee. You never pay us anything.

We do not own or manage any community, and none owns us. Our only ties to the communities we list are the referral agreements that pay us and the listing upgrades some buy. A community that pays us is marked Partner or Sponsored on our site, and a community that has bought verification is marked Verified.

The communities we suggest may not be every one in your area, and we can only make introductions to communities that work with us. We suggest communities by the care you need, the area, your timeline and budget, and what families say about them, never by what a community pays us. If a community stops meeting our qualifications, for example its licence lapses or it stops accepting referrals, we stop suggesting it.

To make an introduction we share your name, contact details and the care needs you told us about, and nothing else. You can stop using our service at any time, for any reason and at no cost, and if you do we will let any community we introduced you to know.

Arizona law requires that we provide you with the following disclosure notice.

We are in the business of referring residents to assisted living facilities and assisted living homes. We will be paid by the assisted living facility or assisted living home if you move into one of the referred assisted living facilities or assisted living homes. The fee we receive from the assisted living facility or assisted living home into which you move typically ranges from 50 to 80 percent of your first month's rent and care charges. We do have a current business relationship but we do not have a common ownership or control in, or any other financial, business, management or familial relationship with, any of the assisted living homes and assisted living facilities to which we are referring you.

By providing us with a written or electronic notice, you have the right to terminate our services to you at any time, including our use of your personal information. If you terminate our services, we will not be entitled to any fee for any move-in you make after the date of the termination notice unless either:

1. The assisted living facility or assisted living home you choose within the next twelve months is one that we specifically identify and refer to you after we evaluate your profile and requests but before we receive your notice of termination.

2. You communicate with us before you move into the assisted living facility or assisted living home.
