Del Webb at Dove Mountain

Del Webb at Dove Mountain sits about 30 minutes north of Tucson in a quiet spot near the Tortolita Mountains, so you're surrounded by mountain views and miles of hiking trails, and there's a real focus here on outdoor living with things like golf, tennis, swimming, bocce, and pickleball, and if you like being active, they've made it easy, with a big 14,000 square foot Saguaro Recreation Center, a fitness center, group fitness studio, arts and crafts rooms, a billiards area, a coffee bar, and plenty of meeting spaces. The community is made for folks 55 and older who want an active lifestyle, with single-story homes except in the gated custom home area called Canyon Pass, and it's built out now, so you'll find only resale homes, but they're newer, and you have different models to choose from, including the Haven, Sanctuary, Hideaway, Journey, Endeavor, Serenity, Pursuit, and Preserve, all of which offer 2 bedrooms and square footage ranging from 1,573 to 2,514 square feet, with Great Room and Traditional floor plans. Each home offers energy-efficient features like solar panels, dual-pane windows, 14-SEER air conditioning, tankless gas water heaters, and Energy Star appliances, and there's a good range of upgrades-things like soft water loops, garage service doors, and utility sinks-as well as smart home touches with Cat-6 wiring and programmable thermostats. Quality shows up in details like 10-foot ceilings, 8-foot doors, tile floors in main areas, covered patios, Oakcraft cabinetry, granite counters, Schlage hardware, and exterior coach lighting, and you'll get warranty coverage on the structure, roof, plumbing, and other parts. Community life centers around the Saguaro Recreation Center and the outdoor event lawn with a fire pit, plus there are swimming pools and heated spas for use year-round, and homeowners get access to memberships at The Gallery Sports Club. You're right next to several respected golf courses like The Golf Club at Dove Mountain, The Gallery Golf Club, and The Highlands, plus you're not far from the Ritz Carlton Resort and other fine hotels and spas, so there's a real mix of casual and elegant living, and you can enjoy quiet sunsets and year-round sun, which is something people talk about. There's a focus on social connections and meeting neighbors, with interests from hiking to club activities to just relaxing poolside, so people find their own rhythm at their own pace. Homes are bought and sold mostly through resale, and the sales agents in the builder's office work for the builder, so buyers have a right to bring a Realtor on their first visit if they want representation. The neighborhood is peaceful, with about 650 homes, and it's run to make things easy for the people who live there, with guides and support for home care, a homeowner portal, and a customer service system. The community fits those looking for active retirement, access to the outdoors, and the chance to enjoy time with others in a well-planned spot with mountain views and a lot to do, right in the northwestern part of Tucson.
