The Sun City Independent is the only local weekly newspaper devoted entirely to covering the local news of Sun City, Arizona – one of the most desirable, popular and attractive age-restricted communities in the Southwest created by the late Del Webb. Restricted to residents 55 or older, Sun City is touted as the country’s first active adult retirement community in the world. With seven recreation centers, eight golf courses, three country clubs and two bowling centers, residents can find plenty to keep them occupied close to home.
