Real Estate Tips for Seniors

Richard Lecinski - Long Realty

Oro Valley - Tucson Arizona

Because this is an important and life changing decision, do not just pick a real estate agent out of the phone book, and/or stick with the first agent you meet - interview at least two agents. Make sure that you feel comfortable with the agent you will be working with. In the interview question the agents about their experience in handling clients dealing with the issues that you are dealing with. Try to get a sense of whether or not the agent would be sensitive to your needs; and make sure the agent is willing to deal with other family members if necessary.

Following these guidelines will go a long way towards creating a positive experience when buying or selling property. As an older American you deserve peace of mind during this time of transition.

Finding a real estate agent who understands the unique needs of older Americans is a crucial component in having a successful real estate transaction. Life changing events such as the passing of a loved one, illness, downsizing, and/or retirement are a unique set of issues that often accompany the buying and selling of property for older Americans.

Stay Young Forever in Sun City Vistoso

A Tucson Arizona Premier

Active Adult

Golfing Community

Where it is More Than Living - It's a Lifestyle

With its beautiful backdrop of the Santa Catalina Mountains and prime location in the Town of Oro Valley, a prestigious suburb of Tucson Arizona. This 45 to 55 plus active adult community has immediate appeal. The open green space and desert views provided by our golf course add to that appeal, as does the outstanding reputation of the golf course itself. The number and variety of our amenities, clubs and activities, equal or exceed those seen in other active adult communities. Our library is a unique asset, unmatched elsewhere.
The Del Webb - Pulte built homes are well-constructed and maintained, as is the entire completed community. Common areas and individual homes have a pleasingly homogenous appearance. The Sun City Vistoso location has unique advantages: immediate proximity to a major new shopping center and others, a multi-screen movie theater, a new state-of- the-art Oro Valley Hospital, Catalina State Park and so many any area attractions. Our weather draws those from colder climates to Southern Arizona. SCV average daytime temperatures are 10 to 15 degrees cooler than the Phoenix area, only a 2-hour drive, for even more attractions and things to do.
Public transportation, such as the Coyote Run and Sun Shuttle buses run through the community. Churches of many faiths are nearby. We have so much to offer prospective residents and active adults. Call or email us to schedule a no obligation tour of Sun City Vistoso by one of our volunteer homeowner Ambassadors. Or simply request more information.
Although many of our residents are still actively employed, many are retired. In Sun City Vistoso one can be as active as they want, or just enjoy living. Many of our homeowners exemplify the living of an active adult resort lifestyle, participating in physically demanding activities ranging from swimming, golf and tennis to all types of dancing, aerobic exercise, group hiking on nearby trails and in the Grand Canyon. They are interested in Sun City Vistoso's challenging new amenities, such as Pickleball - recently described by the Arizona Republic as ''the hottest fitness fad at active adult communities."
Many homeowners are continually learning through diverse activities such as genealogy and in the computer learning center, Institute of Learning in Retirement, arts and crafts classes, a variety of discussion groups, such as the Investment Club, etc. The University of Arizona and Pima Community College are also nearby. Residents are social - playing cards, traveling, singing, and hosting gourmet dinners. They are volunteers - serving as Board Members, on committees, patrolling SCV in the wee small hours as part of the Posse (our neighborhood watch par none), hosting the Special and Senior Olympics, tutoring, ushering at special events, and giving a helping hand to those who need one.
Some residents are grandparents and make frequent use of the amenities provided for children who visit such as beds and highchairs from the Loan Room; children's books, DVDs and puzzles from the library: special children's hours at the pools; and our miniature golf course. Sun City Vistoso is a highly desirable place to live. Sun City's home sales, in terms of both prices and unsold inventory, are competitive with nearby communities with homes of comparable size but with little or no amenities such as ours.

Sun City Vistoso is a 1000 acre active adult retirement community conveniently located northwest of Tucson, at the base of the Catalina Mountains in the Town of Oro Valley. The beautiful setting is only the beginning of the quality of the Sun City Vistoso community. With a population of over 4500 active adults, Sun City Vistoso offers a friendly hometown feeling - close enough to the city for convenience but far enough away for tranquility.

The amenities offered include an 18-hole championship golf course intricately blended with its desert base, miles of wide, clean streets and sidewalks ideal for walking and bicycling, and three recreational facilities that offer many programs and opportunities active adults enjoy.

The community, with 2488 homes (single family, garden villa and patio homes) was established in 1986 by the Del Webb Corporation. Control was turned over to Sun City Vistoso Community Association, Inc. in 1995. Sun City Vistoso is governed by a seven member Board of Directors elected by the residents with day to day operations managed by professional staff.
