We are building a home, for winters, in Mountainside at Victory, at the foot of the White Tank Mountains in Verado. It is a 55+ gated active adult community and we bought one of the golf course lots.
Our Montana home sits on a mountainside with a creek, bridges, atv trails, a shooting range, garden, lawn and fruit trees. We bought the land 25 years ago and designed and built our home 15 years ago.
Winter are getting longer and I’m not getting any younger. I can see down the road a short way from now not being able, or caring to, maintain all this home and acreage. So we are making plans now to transition out of here in a couple years.
Verado looks good to us so we are going for it. We also like Fountain Hills. They have a great outdoor market there. Sun City had no appeal to us at all. I thought it was depressing actually.
Up until earlier this year, we had a house in Sun City Festival just northwest of White Tank Mountains and enjoyed it, but after 35 years of marriage my wife and I realized we hated each other so we sold it and got divorced.
I’m much happier now.
