I need a 25K manufactured home, $600 lot rent, and would prefer no golf course, but do want some vegetation. That's affordable.

The description that you do not mention is the fixing up of the Sun City West and Sun City develpements. Because of the age of the houses/units you have to make sure the plumbing/sewage and water lines do not need replacement or repair. I have seen that alot in those 2 developments. Sun City Grand now called The Grand are newer houses so you do not have to worry. Another thing with those 2 older developments is the a/c electric heat unit on the roof. To replace the company has to ise a crane to mount and those units are not that efficient.

@Southwest55Plus Ай бұрын

We see lots of sewer line inspections in those areas but generally don’t find any issues. The cost to raise the new HVAC onto a roof is minimal and not prohibitive when you factor in the much lower sales prices for Sun City and Sun City West. The Grand is a fantastic area as well. I’m so happy that we have so many good options for people to choose from!

Disagree 400K being “affordable.” Maybe coming from California or New York.

@Southwest55Plus Жыл бұрын

I totally get it! In this area 400K would be the top range of affordable. As I mentioned in the video we have condos in Sun City starting around 160K. Regular homes can be found under 300K. It just all depends on what someone is looking for. Thanks so much for watching and commenting!

“Affordable” is relative, not absolute. The video is clearly within the context of the Phoenix area, and affordability is defined around that.

my parents are in Sun City, but not Sun City West. My girlfriend lives in Maryland and a 55+ community called leisure world and she pays 900 a month just in fees alone to live there. I cannot believe that that is crazy who can afford that? It's a good thing. Both of them have a Social Security check but still that's outrageous to charge that much for fees.

@Southwest55Plus Жыл бұрын

Wow 900 a month seems high but that might include some things we don't know about. Maybe the homes are lot less? Or is it a mobile home community? Those monthly fees can be crazy high. But at the end of the day its about each person's needs and budget. My parents are also in Sun City and love it! Thanks for watching Jan!

I backed out of a home in original sun city. Aluminum wiring and old pipes running out to the street. $24,000 to fix and fires from the electrical. Ask your realtor for disclosures, on every property your interested in. Also the flu over jets and noise. I’m in Peoria and it’s ok. Hoa and property taxes ok. We had an assessment done on our flat roofs. $5000,000 . Sorry we didn’t save enough to fix your roof.

Do you have suggestions for 45+? Couple w/ no kids, with the ability to 'golf cart' lifestyle eg: to use around the community and perhaps to a grocery store etc.? OR, other communities that are not 45+ but with a 'golf cart' lifestyle? Looking to buy, just looking for the right location in AZ. We love the 55+ plus, but not sure we are quite to that season in our lives yet, either. Thanks so much! :-)

How do the older homes ( like in SC and SCW for example) hold up in all ways structurally, etc. having been in the desert climate for decades? Some of those older floorplans are more appealing in many ways; just questioning if they're still sound, if that makes sense. I appreciate your thoughts, thank you!

@Southwest55Plus Жыл бұрын

Great question! The older homes in many ways might be better than the new ones. Our soil here is pretty darn stable so you don't see a lot of movement that would bring cracking. I wouldn't hesitate one bit to buy an older home. Mine is 22 years old and solid as a rock. Maybe its the lack of cold weather that keeps things in good shape. Not sure. Thanks for watching!

Hi-what are the crime stats in these communities? I live in a gated 55+ community outside of seattle and we do have some mail thefts and even catilytic converter and maintenance equipment/truck thefts.

@Southwest55Plus 5 ай бұрын

I'm going to say that they're probably pretty darn low. There will be crime everywhere but in these communities it is usually people known to the victims. In Sun City the mail goes into a slot in your garage door so no theft there. Overall our crime is pretty low here in 55+ areas.

For the metro Phoenix area this is a very good video. Also, 400K for anyone 55 and above heading into retirement should easily be attainable considering you’ve worked for 30-35 years and should’ve bought and sold a few homes over that time and made money on them, not to mention saving money over that timeframe.
