With 1,700 homes, it is significantly smaller than some of the large-scale active adult communities of the Phoenix northwest valley. Yet, it offers world-class amenities and an exciting lifestyle. D.R. Horton designed this community to meet the requests of retirees who wanted an active lifestyle community in a smaller, more intimate setting. Unlike some of the larger Sun City communities of the area, Arizona Traditions focused on creating a community that offered a small-town-like charm with close-knit neighbors. There is an exciting array of amenities and social activity available to the residents of Arizona Traditions. The 20,400 square-foot clubhouse is the central hub for community activities. It includes a 700-person ballroom, arts and crafts studios, library and state-of-the-art fitness center. Outside, residents enjoy three pools, a softball field, biking trails, bocce ball, shuffleboard, pickleball and tennis courts. The 18-hole Arizona Traditions Golf Course designed by Dick Bailey winds throughout the community. It provides an exciting and challenging round for golfers of all skill levels. After a round of golf, many residents like to gather with friends at the Arizona Traditions Bar & Restaurant. It offers a sports bar for cocktails and casual lunches plus a dining room for elegant dinners.
