Eighteen Del Webb communities were included in the list of the Best 55+ Communities in 2018 released this week by 55places.com, an online resource that compares active adult communities in the United States. Sun City Hilton Head by Del Webb was named the #1 best community for the second consecutive year for those homebuyers age-55 and better.

“We have a rich history as a leader in active adult communities and it is clear from this list that the signature Del Webb lifestyle continues to resonate with homebuyers and residents,” said PulteGroup President and Chief Executive Officer Ryan Marshall. “The active adult communities we are selling in today benefit from more than 60 years of experience in delivering unmatched, resort-style living.”

“Sun City Hilton Head is a vibrant community that is perfect for buyers age 55 and over looking for a thriving social and active lifestyle,” said Charlie Tipton, division president of Del Webb at PulteGroup’s Coastal Carolinas division. “With over 100 activity and interest groups, resort-style amenities, and warm welcoming residents, we are proud to see it recognized as the top active adult community for the second year in a row by 55places.com.”

Among the Del Webb communities on the list are: Sun City Hilton Head in Bluffton, South Carolina; Sun City Texas in Georgetown, Texas; Del Webb Stone Creek in Ocala, Florida; Sun City Festival near Phoenix, Arizona; Del Webb Orlando in Davenport, Florida; Sun City Mesquite near Las Vegas, Nevada; Sun City Apple Valley in Apple Valley, California; and Del Webb Ponte Vedra near Jacksonville, Florida. These communities are still in production and open for new home sales.

Attesting to the ongoing strength of the active lifestyle Del Webb provides, several completed Del Webb communities also made the list, including Sun City Grand, Sun City Anthem at Merrill Ranch, and Sun City in Arizona; Sun City Lincoln Hills and Sun City Shadow Hills in California; Sun City Summerland near Las Vegas; Sun City Huntley near Chicago; Sun City Carolina Lakes and Del Webb at Cane Bay in South Carolina; and Del Webb Lake Providence in Tennessee.

The communities featured on this list were chosen based on research and internal data, feedback, and personal experiences gathered by the 55places team. The group also considered each community’s location, residential types, price point, amenities, and lifestyle opportunities to choose the top 55 age restricted communities.
