Portillo Hills sits in a senior community with desert views, mountain sunrises, and a quiet Arizona setting, surrounded by low-care desert landscaping, decorative gravel paths, a water fountain, and a built-in barbecue, plus there's a big courtyard with water features where folks enjoy spending time outdoors. The home, custom-built back in 1999 in a Southwestern style, has exposed beams, high ceilings, a secure wrought iron entry, and a wall of windows in the main living area that lets in a lot of light, so you can really take in the scenery. The oversized kitchen's full of hickory cabinets, stainless steel appliances, granite counters, an induction cooktop, a breakfast bar, a big center island, and modern extras like a dishwasher, water softener, microwave, and even a garbage disposal to help make things run smoother, and there's a full laundry room with storage and work space, too. The formal dining room, eat-in kitchen, Arizona room, three-car garage-with storage and a door opener-plus a big screened back porch give you places to be comfortable whether you like indoor or outdoor living, and the zoned heating and cooling with central air and natural gas heating keeps the place comfortable year round.
People living here get care in different ways-some independent, living maintenance-free with lots of choices for things to do, while others might need more support, with help for daily activities, medication, or even memory care in a secure setting with 24-hour supervision, call systems, emergency alert tools, and help with personal needs like bathing and dressing. Portillo Hills offers options from suites to semi-private rooms or studios, so people can get what fits them best. There's room for only a small number of residents, so care tends to feel more personal. Skilled nursing covers medical needs, rehabilitation, and wound care, while the memory care area uses special programs and activities for folks with dementia or Alzheimer's. People who choose assisted living get help with meals and personal care, and folks living independently find plenty of options for recreation.
The community is tied in with Portillo Ridge HOA, where $23 monthly helps cover grounds and street maintenance, and the wider set of facilities connects to the Green Valley Recreation centers, offering heated pools, spa, tennis, shuffleboard, rec rooms, billiards, fitness centers, craft studios, and more-including several tennis courts, a full calendar for court reservations, clubs, clinics, and competitive teams. Residents can join in on tennis, leagues, summer drop-ins, pickleball, fitness classes, movies, dance clubs, art groups, education classes, leisure events, and outdoor programs that take advantage of the Arizona climate. There's Wi-Fi, cable TV, dining rooms offering all-day dining and special diet options, private bathrooms, furnished rooms, guest access, walking paths, meeting rooms, and transportation or parking services for those who need them. The centers include indoor saltwater pools, art and clay studios, bocce and racquetball courts, swimming pools, and even a photography lab. Residents and guests get safety and peace of mind with 24-hour support, a call system, and a focus on wellness and health care, and there's always staff or volunteers handling court reservations, lost items, orientation, and membership support, along with daily activities, events, and community amenities, so people can stay busy and feel connected as much as they want.
