Two country clubs are at the heart of PebbleCreek. Eagle's Nest encompasses 47,000 square feet and has a grand ballroom, a library, a fitness center and a restaurant. The Tuscany Country Club features a large aquatics complex, a dance studio, a theater, tennis courts, as well as a full service restaurant and bar. Each club's attendant golf course makes PebbleCreek one of the top golf communities in the Southwest (and one of Forbes' top retirement communities). The Eagle's Nest course has 18 holes, seven lakes and mountain views. The Tuscany course has 27 holes and was designed by golf architect Dick Bailey. Both courses have a fully stocked pro shop.

PebbleCreek's Creative Arts Center supports a variety of studios, some dedicated to woodworking, others to stained glass and ceramics. Model trains, quilting, and performance theater are just a few of the popular clubs. Award-winning Lifelong Learning at Pebblecreek offers lectures, classes and trips in and around the Phoenix area.

The community is gated and regularly patrolled, ensuring a sense of security. North PebbleCreek Parkway is the main artery through the development. Neighborhoods are on either side of it, with homes close together on winding streets and cul de sacs. Many residences have a pond or golf course view. Landscaping consists of palm trees, bushes, cacti, decorative rocks and short trees.

The newest homes in PebbleCreek are low maintenance attached homes that range in size from 1,404 to 1,863 square feet. Most of these models have two bedrooms, two baths and a garage. Older single-family homes have two to five bedrooms, garages and two to three baths. All residences are Mediterranean-style with a neutral colored exterior and a tile roof.

Prices begin in the mid-$300,000s. The HOA fee is about $230 to $245 per month. Please verify these prices with a Realtor as they may change.

Arizona:

On February 14, 1912, Arizona became the 48th state to join the Union. In the southwestern region of the United States, it borders New Mexico to the east, Utah to the north, Nevada and California to the west and Mexico to the south. The Cactus Wren is the state's bird, and the Saguaro Blossom is the state flower. The capital and largest city is Phoenix.

Arizona is home to the Grand Canyon, one of the nation's oldest national parks, and the Hoover Dam. It covers 113,000 square miles, making it the nation's 6th largest state. However, only a small portion of the land, about 15%, is privately owned. The rest of Arizona belongs to national parks, state parks and Native American reservations.

Interestingly, the majority of Arizonans - everyone except those in the Navajo Nation - do not observe Daylight Savings Time.

Are 55+ Communities Really "Retirement" Communities?

Many people who live in age-restricted communities (usually for people age 55+) are still gainfully employed. So why would they live in what is considered a "retirement" community? Why not continue to live in a standard neighborhood? People still employed choose age-restricted communities for the same reasons as people who are retired do: the safety, amenities and sense of community that one can provide. And whether employed or not, once the kids are grown, it is sometimes nice to live in a neighborhood where small children do not congregate.
