Sun City made national news when it opened January 1st, 1960; its initial success earned national attention. The community was highlighted in newspaper and magazine articles throughout the country, featured on the national news, and profiled on TV shows.Sun City, Arizona was the first community of its kind in the nation; it paved the way for retirement communities in the United States. Sun City, Arizona continues to enjoy the reputation as one of the worlds most popular and thriving active-adult communities and would like to make national news again when we celebrate our 50th in 2010. Ever since that day, new places to retire continue being built everywhere; Del Webb is actually now a part of Pulte Homes and are not just known to Arizona, but also in 15 additional states.
