We're an intimate, senior community of just 93 home sites nestled in the heart of Apache Junction, Arizona. If you're looking for a combination of old-fashioned neighborhood friendliness and the peace of small-town living, but with the option of big-town conveniences, search no farther.

Here, you can get together with your neighbors for pancake breakfasts and potluck dinners. Or feast at one of our big Hawaiian luaus where we close off the streets and roast a whole pig!

Join us on a planned excursion into the nearby Superstition Wilderness Area, where you'll find numerous desert and mountain trails along with giant Saguaro cactus, deer, javelinas, mountain lions, bobcats, coyotes, a variety of birds, reptiles and amphibians. 

The nearby Apache Trail offers a scenic route through deserts, mountains, by cliff dwellings, through old mining towns and through beautifully eroded canyons. Canyon Lake, Saguaro, Apache and Roosevelt lakes, only minutes away, offer fishing and all types of water sports, as well as nature and wildlife viewing. 

Apache Junction itself offers large supermarkets, full service banks, restaurants, churches and medical services. 

Looking for more adventure? We're only minutes from Phoenix, one of the largest metropolitan areas in the country, with its shopping malls, theaters and restaurants. It's also one of the hottest professional sports markets in the country, where you can indulge your interests whether they be for Arizona Diamondbacks baseball, Phoenix Suns or Phoenix Mercury basketball, Arizona Cardinals football, or Phoenix Coyotes hockey!
