Sun City Vistoso
Superior Retirement in Oro Valley


Sun City Vistoso

Sun City Vistoso

Sun City Vistoso, located in Oro Valley, is an active adult retirement community located approximately 14 miles northwest of Tucson, Arizona. It is part of Rancho Vistoso, a Del Webb master-planned community with two major shopping centers, banks, churches and medical and professional offices. Mountain views of the Santa Catalina and Tortolita ranges can be seen throughout the community.

My husband and I learned to ride our road bikes on the generous bike paths of Rancho Vistoso Boulevard. We have friends who live here - more retiree friends of my husband's from Minneapolis - and they rave about Sun City Vistoso, with all the recreation centers, clubs, and facilities to help retirees enjoy Tucson's warm, friendly climate.

The Sun City Vistoso Golf Course is a private golf course open to all residents of Sun City Vistoso. The 18-hole par 72 championship golf course will play at 5,100 to 6,723 yards and accommodates all skill levels. This Tucson golf course has been converted to recycled water. Residents can also play The Golf Club at Vistoso, a public course designed by Tom Weiskopf in Rancho Vistoso.
