Throw away your winter coats! The warm weather all year round and the natural Arizona beauty have made Sierra Vista an outstanding place to create sprawling retirement communities.
A 7,000-home development on 2,000 acres has created affordable housing for retirees with a beautiful backdrop. A budget-friendly price on a ranch and Mediterranean-style homes attracts retirees from all over the Northern part of the country.
But to make matters even better, its crime rate is also well below the national average!
And even though there isn’t much to do in this small retirement town, if you dream of a quiet and slower pace of life, from hiking to sitting on a back patio to watch the Arizona sunset, this is the ideal place!
