For homeowners nearing retirement, moving to a resort-style community  with like-minded neighbors and a lineup of envious amenities is appealing. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Before you make the move, here’s an inside look at what you should expect from a day in the life of community, like Wickenburg Ranch. 

The Benefits of Resort-style Communities 

Location

One of the most important factors in choosing a resort-style community is the location. Wickenburg Ranch, featuring a Trilogy® Resort Community, is located in the historic mining town of Wickenburg, Arizona. As a charming city rich with tradition, residents can enjoy a real, authentic taste of the wild west. Plus, welcoming residents can enjoy generally cooler temperatures than the Phoenix area. 

Although our community hosts a variety of recreational amenities, you’ll likely want to venture out once in a while. You can easily take advantage of things you enjoy, such as shopping, taking in a show, or checking out the local museums. Wickenburg is also home to the notorious Jail Tree, a dude ranch, a ghost town, and an abandoned mine.

If traveling or having regular visitors is important to you, consider the accessibility of the closest airport. Consistently rated as one of the Top 10 Best Airports in North America, Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix makes air travel simple. Sky Harbor serves more than 1,200 flights a day and is located just southeast of downtown Phoenix.

Health

Wickenburg, Arizona is the perfect setting for a healthy lifestyle. With warm weather year-round and better air quality than the Phoenix metro area, it’s easy to enjoy the great outdoors. 

Wickenburg Ranch includes parks and trails that can get you started enjoying the natural beauty of the desert atmosphere.  If you enjoy spending time in the outdoors, these miles of hiking trails are your answer. Grab your friendly neighbor or your furry friend for a day in the vast Sonoran Desert, and don’t forget to bring plenty of water and sunscreen. 

If you’re looking to start a sport, the Courts & Sports Complex is the perfect spot for a little friendly competition. As a lively venue, it’s equipped with four tennis courts, six pickleball courts, three bocce ball courts, and horseshoes. 

If you’d rather get your sweat on indoors, head to Afturburn at Wickenburg Ranch. As a strength and conditioning gym, Afturburn features a cutting edge TechnoGym system, free weights, cardio machines, and the iconic Movement Studio. The Movement Studio is equipped with a fitness on-demand program and online interactive training tool with pre-recorded and live workout sessions. Our advanced fitness facility is fully staffed with personal trainers who teach classes for individuals of all fitness levels. 

Also, your new community should have a surrounding area that serves your needs in the future. This means a walkable community with easy access to health care, including a primary care physician and specialty doctors and a hospital you might need in the future.

Social

Your life in a resort-style community means like-minded people will surround you, so your neighbors will become like family. You’ll also be free from the pressure of sharing the community and amenities with young adults or young families. 

When you’re feeling social, head over to the Clubhouse  or signature restaurant, as they provide a great location to host special events or attend parties with new neighbors. Joining a club is also a great way to get out of the house, meet new friends, and learn something new.

Take a loop around the greens for a healthy social activity. Playing a round of golf has proven to provide several health benefits, including weight loss, muscle gain, agility, and stress relief. It’s also a social activity you can enjoy with your neighbors, business connections, and your closest friends.

Hobbies

Living at Wickenburg Ranch , you’ll find lots of opportunities for new hobbies. We’ve already mentioned hiking and sports, but if you want a more peaceful hobby, you can take up cooking, painting, card games, yoga, or stargazing. 

Relaxation

You’ve worked your entire life. Now it’s time to relax and enjoy a stress-free lifestyle. The best resort-style communities in Arizona should include luxurious resort-style pools and full-service spas. Our sparkling resort-style pool is heated year-round and offers a beach entry, plenty of shade, and one-of-a-kind views. 

After lounging by the pool with a cocktail, walk to Alvea Spa. Inspired from ancient healing rituals tied to the natural environment, the luxurious Alvea Spa was designed to reflect the natural elements that surround the gorgeous property. Alvea Spa features a Himalayan salt wall. With five treatment rooms and an array of services such as massages, aromatherapy, reflexology, and professional hair and nail care, residents will find a soothing environment to rejuvenate their mind, body, and spirit. Professional Spa Coordinators are on hand to ensure a customized experience of luxury. 

Homes

One of the most significant ways your life will improve after you move to a resort-style community in Arizona is finding yourself in a high-quality, brand new house. Our community has unique floor plans, with thoughtful design and layouts from four exceptional builder partners. Functional goes hand-in-hand with beautiful. Each home has “universal design” features, including single-floor living. You can rest assured these features seamlessly blended into the architecture.

Plus, we pride ourselves on ethically-built homes. Each of our homebuilders makes a special effort to minimize adverse effects on the environment.

Have you found yourself looking for new homes for sale in Arizona? With a population of over 7 million people in Arizona, there are a lot of options for homes and communities throughout the state. But having a lot of options might make your decision harder, not easier.

When you buy a new home, you want a place that welcomes you, a place that gives you what you need with minimal effort, and a place that you never need or want to leave. The best kind of home is one you can stay in for a long time, so choosing the right neighborhood matters when looking for a new home for sale in Arizona. Here are some things to consider as you look:
Where Do You Want or Need to Live?
Knowing where you need to find a home is the most important thing to consider as you start house hunting through homes for sale in Arizona. This might depend on whether you’re being transferred for work or looking to move closer to family. Those priorities will determine the area you need to look at most.

You’ll also need to decide things like whether city life is really for you, or how long your commute might be from any given location. You might be able to find a community that puts you in a nice middle-ground between city and rural areas if that’s what you’re looking for.

If work isn’t really a concern, consider taking a step back from the city so you can have more recreational outdoor time. You might be surprised to find that in Arizona, places like Wickenburg Ranch offer you the perfect setting for a quieter community while still be only a short drive from cities like Greater Phoenix.

Whatever your needs are, take them into account. You don’t want to rush into a new home in Arizona only to find that you are further from family, the city, a hospital, etc. than you ever wanted to be. Plan ahead, consider your needs and search for neighborhoods that can give you your most important priorities.
Find Your Kind of People
A neighborhood is, of course, made up of more than nice new homes for sale in Arizona. It includes the people around you, and this can make a huge difference as to whether a neighborhood is the right one for you or not.

So think about what matters to you, what you like to do, and what your lifestyle is. Do you like quiet afternoons inside working on your latest project or reading a novel? Or do you prefer being able to get outside, going to the gym, and taking the dog for a walk? Maybe you like a mix of these indoor and outdoor activities.

Once you’ve figured out what you value in a community, you can take a good look at your potential new neighborhoods to get an idea of what sort of people live there. If you find a neighborhood that fits your lifestyle well, then the people around you will share similar lifestyles to you.

That means if you want to find a morning walking buddy, it should be easy to step next door and find someone. And that finding someone to take care of your dog while you go on a trip won’t be a problem since you’ll probably have neighbors happy to help you out.

Remember, the people around you are just as important to your new home as the house itself. They can make your life exciting and enjoyable, or they can frustrate you constantly. Finding a neighborhood that fits your social needs should be a top priority as you search for your new home for sale in Arizona. Places like Wickenburg Ranch, featuring a Trilogy® Resort Community, offer connected and fun neighborhoods to people looking for comfort and an active social circle.
Keep Your Health in Mind
You might think that making sure you’re near a hospital or doctor’s office is all you need to do when hunting for your new home for sale in Arizona. Even though that is important, there are other things to consider when it comes to your health.

No matter what age you are, physical activity is important to a healthy lifestyle. So are social activities. So look for a neighborhood that will help you emphasize these healthy activities.

Maybe you’ll want to try out a gym. Or improve your golf game. You might have stressed yourself out at work, so a nearby spa would be a blessing. Even being able to walk to a park or to take your grandkids to a playground can make a big difference in your physical and mental health.

The possibilities don’t stop there. Arizona offers stunning hikes near new homes all over the state, and you can take horses on some of the trails if you’ve been dreaming about going on a ride. Some communities include man-made lakes so you can relax and enjoy the fresh air. And if you are in a smaller Western town, like Wickenburg, the nighttime skies will awe you every night.

A health-focused neighborhood can give you the lifestyle you’ve been missing. It just takes finding the right neighborhood.
Discover Activities at an Easy Distance
When you settle into a new neighborhood, you don’t want your favorite activities far away. After all, you want to enjoy your new home in Arizona as long as you can, so settle down in a place where almost everything you want to do is within walking distance.

One great thing to look for in a community is a Sports Complex. A Sports Complex gives you access to tennis, pickleball, and other sports that you can play with your family. It’s a great way to bring neighbors together too.

A golf course nearby can really make a community enjoyable. Wickenburg Ranch hosts two different golf courses, and the championship 18-hole Big Wick course took 7 years to perfect. If the 18-hole course isn’t for you, but you’d still like to spend an afternoon golfing, the 9-hole Li’l Wick will have you enjoying your tee time even after dark.

What good is a new home for sale in Arizona if it isn’t near some restaurants and bars? Luckily, you’ll find plenty of options for fine dining and drinking in Arizona, so take a look at what restaurants are in your potential new neighborhood and plan to try a couple of them as soon as you move in.
Settle in at Wickenburg Ranch
While many new homes for sale in Arizona have great neighborhoods, you won’t find a better neighborhood than Wickenburg Ranch’s Trilogy community. In fact, Wickenburg Ranch is more than a neighborhood – it’s a way of life.

In addition to its golf courses, Wickenburg Ranch includes nearby hiking trails, a dog park, a 5-star social club, a spa and gym, and various one-of-a-kind restaurants and bars such as Jake’s Spoon and Wick’s Hideaway.

This idyllic Western community combines luxury with health and social activities. With this combination and proximity to Greater Phoenix, you’ll be hard-pressed to choose any other new homes for sale in Arizona than the ones in Wickenburg Ranch. Contact us today or schedule a tour with us so you can see for yourself what your life could be at Wickenburg Ranch.

On May 17, Wickenburg Ranch, an active lifestyle resort community in historic Wickenburg, Arizona, supported the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation with an inaugural golf tournament.

Community supporters, 82 golfers, and 12 sponsors joined together to honor the spirit of Semper Fidelis at the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation’s Inaugural Golf Tournament at Wickenburg Ranch, where $138,000 was raised. Funds raised at the golf tournament will help the Scholarship Foundation provide post-high school, undergraduate, and career technical education scholarships for the children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen.

The Scholarship Foundation has been Honoring Marines by Educating Their Children for more than 55 years. This year alone, they awarded $7.2 million in scholarships to more than 2,330 students. At a time when the rising cost of higher education significantly outpaces the average military family income, scholarships make a significant difference in the lives of Marine families.

“The Van Tuyl Company firmly believes the children of our nation’s Marines should never be denied the opportunities their parents served to defend,” said Cassie Broemmer, tournament organizer and member of The Van Tuyl Company. “We greatly appreciate the support of Wickenburg Ranch and the participation of our many sponsors – your contributions made this event possible.

Congratulations! You’ve finally retired and are ready to settle into your life of freedom. We’re here to help you do that.

Arizona hosts several retirement communities, and now that you’re retired, you may be considering moving into one. Wickenburg Ranch, as one of the most luxurious retirement communities in Arizona, can give you the community you need to enjoy the retirement you’ve earned.

With our tips for a happy retirement, you can’t go wrong.

1. Simplify Your Life

You’ve worked hard your whole life. Between supporting your family and holding down a job in an unstable economy, you’re stressed and tired.

Now that you’re retired, it’s time to take a hard look at your life and decide what you need and what you don’t. And what you want or don’t want in your life.

So simplify.

If you have too many projects sitting around, get rid of some. If your house has a lot of maintenance that you can’t do or don’t want to do, sell it. If you want to live closer to your family, move closer to them.

Moving is a great way to simplify your life, especially if you move into one of Arizona’s retirement communities. Moving forces you to go through everything you have in your life to figure out what you really want, but it also means gaining a new community and purpose in your life.

2. Head to the Heat

Heading to a warm, relaxing place is a hallmark of retirement. And you won’t find somewhere warmer than retirement communities in Arizona.

No more will you have to worry about shoveling snow or slipping on ice. Instead, take in the year-round warmth of Arizona’s desert while you enjoy sitting by the pool or hopping in a golf cart to the next hole.

After all, nothing makes retirement better than having warm, clear weather all year long.

3. Buy Your Dream House

Now that you’re retired, you don’t have to base where you live on your job location. You can move closer to family or head to the warmth of retirement communities in Arizona.

Retirement communities offer high-quality homes to their residents. These homes are designed to build community between the residents and, at Wickenburg Ranch, to enhance and match the community’s surroundings.

Most retirement communities provide various floorplans for residents to choose from. For example, Wickenburg Ranch has floorplans specific to different parts of the community, but they also have an area of the community with highly customized homes.

The best part is these homes are fairly affordable, depending on how customized the house is and which floorplan has been chosen. To give you an idea of a baseline, Wickenburg Ranch starts pricing their homes at $200,000.

So build yourself a dream home – but do it in an affordable, convenient way in a retirement community.

4. Join a Community

When you retire, you no longer have a social life built into your workplace. To have a good social life, you probably have to go look for it.

What you don’t want to do is abandon any sort of social life. Having no social life can bring loneliness and lack of purpose. If you want to enjoy a happy retirement, build a social life into it.

One of the best ways to do that is by moving to a retirement community in Arizona. Retirement communities give their residents personal homes, but also offer countless activities and venues for meeting new people.

If you want your retired social life to be simpler, a retirement community is your best choice for building up a rich social life.

5. Embrace the Active Lifestyle

The last thing you want to do when you retire is let yourself go. After all your time in the office, you deserve to make the most of your life. So don’t sit around on the couch watching TV and doing nothing else. That might be relaxing for a day or so, but it won’t be fulfilling.

Instead, find some new activities. You could try taking a morning walk or run every day. Or start biking. Arizona has lots of hiking trails, so you could take some time exploring nature. You might even take up horseback riding on those trails instead.

And if the outside isn’t for you but you want to stay active, try joining a gym. Many retirement communities have gyms on their premises, which makes finding a gym simple.

However you choose to be active, set up an active routine and stick with it. You’ll feel happier and stronger, and you’ll have plenty of energy to keep you going through any other activities you want to try.

6. Learn to Relax

This is for you workaholics out there. After retiring, you can sometimes feel like you are being lazy or unproductive. Or maybe you just feel a constant need to be working on something – a project, a business, a goal.

And those are good things to do.

But you’ve been working for decades, and now you have a chance to rest. So learn to relax.

You could go to the pool, wade around, soak in the sun, and read a book. Try out a spa, (many retirement communities in Arizona have one) and get a massage or manicure. Or just sit in the park with your dog, chatting with family and neighbors, watching the world go by.

Remember, it’s healthy for our bodies and minds to relax. Take some time for yourself, and let the stress go.

7. Taste Fine Dining

What if you could eat amazing food, sample delicious wine or other drinks, and not have to be the one cooking?

Of course, you could travel around the world eating all the best foreign foods, but that gets to be pretty expensive after a bit.

This tip is something retirement communities can help you with. Retirement communities in Arizona, like Wickenburg Ranch, have high-quality restaurants available for their residents. Sit near a golf course, take in the views, and enjoy your diverse menus and carefully selected range of drinks.

8. Take Day Trips

If traveling the world isn’t in your budget, try taking day trips. Day trips are a great way to get out of the house and spend some time experiencing new things.

Visit a nearby museum, do some shopping, hike a mountain, learn about historical sites, or experience new cultures. You could also take your grandkids to the zoo or lake.

But to do these things, you need to live in a community that is near both the outdoors and a city. Otherwise, your options for day trips may be limited.

Some retirement communities in Arizona are better placed than others. Before you rush to move into a community, check the surrounding areas for potential day trips so you know that you are in the best place for you.

9. Lower Your Golf Score

Another hallmark of retirement is golf, and for good reason. Golf is a great way to spend time outdoors while being active, and when you’re retired, you actually have the time to go through all 18 holes without rushing. You can finally take the opportunity to improve your golf skills and score.

If you’re a golfer or want to be a golfer, try moving to a retirement community that includes a golf course. As part of the community, you should have full access to the course year-round. And living in a warm place means the weather almost never gets in the way of your golf game.

A top golf course in Arizona and the country is Big Wick, an 18-hole, 71-par course that can be both fun and challenging. For a smaller course, try the Li’l Wick, a 9-hole course that fits all levels of golfers and has nighttime lighting for anyone wanting to keep golfing after the sun is down.

10. Try New Hobbies

Not only does retirement give you the time to golf, but it also gives you the time to learn new hobbies. And in an Arizona retirement community, that’s a pretty simple feat.

Like we’ve said in this article, retirement communities offer lots of activities to their residents. When you move to one of these communities, take a look at what they offer and pick something new to try.

You could try your hand at art. You could get into swimming laps. Or take a cooking class. Even do some outdoor yoga or stargazing. Spend some time at sports courts learning pickleball.

Just try something new and get out of your comfort zone. It’s a great way to make retirement more meaningful.

11. Gather Your Family

Moving to a retirement community doesn’t mean cutting off family or friends. And with a new home in Arizona, you’ll be ready to host your family anytime they come over.

Your home will have plenty of space for everyone, you’ll have stunning views to share with your kids, and plenty of activities to include the grandkids in.

Retirement should be a time to bring your family closer to you, no matter how far apart you live.   

12. Decide Now

Moving is a big decision, but the sooner you decide that moving to a retirement community in Arizona is right for you, the sooner you’ll have the retirement you’ve been dreaming of.

Nationally Ranked Golf Course

Wickenburg Ranch combines both community and golf club with its two golf courses and comfortable social environments. Our 18-hole, 71-par course, the Big Wick, stretches its perfectly manicured greens all across our property. Golf Digest has called it one of the “Top Ten New Courses in North America.” With its impressive views and challenging play, Big Wick is one of the most popular Wickenburg Ranch amenities.

If high-level golf isn’t for you, but you still like to spend some time on the green, try our 9-hole course, Li’l Wick. Enjoying equally stunning views, Li’l Wick gives you a round of golf that fits any golfer, no matter their skill level. Along the course is raised seating, allowing you or others in your party to watch the golfers near the green.

And for the times that you want to keep your golf game going into the night, Li’l Wick has four holes with nighttime lighting so you don’t have to stop when the sun does.

Award Winning Social Club

Perched above Big Wick’s 18th hole, you’ll join us in our Social Club for 5-star luxury treatment. As the winner of the 2018 Gold Award for Best Community Amenity, the Social Club is widely seen as the best Wickenburg Ranch amenity.

As you walk inside, you’ll enjoy our living room, set up so you and your neighbors can enjoy chatting, relaxing, or maybe some reading. The room features large windows so you can take in the 18th hole, the mountains, and other features of the area around Wickenburg Ranch.

If you continue through the club, you’ll find a full bar and a saloon, each with TVs keeping you up with your sports teams. Take a load off and enjoy some time for a drink as you check the scores and catch up with your neighbors.

Another favorite place in our social club is the workout gym, Afturburn. Whether you want to spend some time on the cardio machines or join a workout session in the Movement Studio, Afturburn has something for everyone’s workout.

Without a doubt, you’ll find your best social and luxury time in Wickenburg Ranch’s top amenity – the Social Club.

Fine Dining

Wickenburg Ranch’s amenities include three restaurants for fine dining. Jake’s Spoon, with its new-American cuisine, is one of our most popular eateries in the community. Featuring daily dinner specials and the Chef’s famous green chili pork stew, you’ll enjoy the fantastic meals that have made Jake’s Spoon the go-to restaurant in the area. Also connected with Jake’s Spoon is Jake’s Sip, the next-door bar for all your drink needs.

Another favorite restaurant is The Waterhole. Placed scenically near Li’l Wick, The Waterhole includes outdoor dining, drinks, and a fresh menu when you’re looking for a place to rest after your golf game.

Wick’s Hideaway is best known for its drinks, specializing in bourbons and whiskeys. However, if you’re looking for a tasty breakfast spot, stop in for one of our hearty breakfast burritos.

Finally, if you want to skip the restaurants and try your own hand at cooking, join us at Sophie’s Culinary Parlor, where you can learn from experts and take cooking classes. It will give you all the flavors of fine dining with the satisfaction of knowing you can make the food again anytime.

Spa

In a peaceful section of our Social Club, you’ll embrace tranquility into your day in the Alvea Spa. Building on holistic and natural elements, the Alvea Spa includes a Himalayan Salt wall, professional massages, manicures, hair treatments, and more.

Also featured in our spa are therapies such as aromatherapy and reflexology. Key to Wickenburg Ranch amenities is the belief that our residents deserve to have the best and feel their best. In the Alvea Spa, we seek to give you the best care possible for your body, so you can enjoy the rest of the community in your highest frame of mind and body.

Endless Activities

A community like Wickenburg Ranch is the best place to find new hobbies. Wickenburg Ranch amenities offer such a variety of activities and opportunities that you’ll have no shortage of new hobbies in your life.

If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at art, come by the Art Barn, the perfect place for new and experienced artists to practice their craft. You can do pottery, draw, and paint with resources like a kiln, deep sinks, and rolling tables.

Maybe art isn’t for you, but physical activity is. Wickenburg Ranch has an outdoor sports complex with courts for pickleball, tennis, Bocce ball, and horseshoes. And if you’d rather watch, the sports complex features raised seating where you can sit back and enjoy.

Take a walk through Charlie’s Park with your dog, or continue through to the nearby hiking trails. The hikes range from easy to difficult and from long to short, so you should have no trouble finding a hike that fits your needs.

Our club also includes a swimming pool with a beach entrance for a relaxing wade and a lap pool if you want to work out in the water. You can strengthen your swimming skills or float along through the afternoon.

Whatever your needs, Wickenburg Ranch amenities offer you all the activities and luxury you could want. Contact us today to set up your tour with us, and we’ll look forward to meeting you in our community.

Thanks to technological advancements, sustainable and eco-friendly homes have grown more popular over the years. Here are six sustainable housing trends to watch.

Sustainable Housing Trends

1. Energy-Efficient Features

More and more homes are implementing cost-effective, energy-efficient features. While high-performance features come with initial upfront costs, the investment reduces operating costs in the long run and improves quality of life. These state-of-the-art features provide a safe and healthy indoor environment for you and your family.

2. Solar Energy

Installing solar panels on homes helps power your home while helping you save money on your energy bills, earn tax credits or rebates, and decrease your carbon footprint.

3. AeroBarrier

AeroBarrier is a revolutionary sealing technology that fills gaps as tiny as a hair follicle that can leak energy. Reduced envelope leakage means improved energy efficiency, less dust, fewer pests, and less outdoor pollution entering your home.

4. High Efficiency Windows

At Wickenburg Ranch, our homes use windows with a low U-factor. The U-factor is a value indicating the insulation performance of the window. The lower the U-factor, the greater a window’s resistance to heat flow and the better its insulating properties.

5. Architectural Shading

The front entry and extended covered patios on Wickenburg Ranch Homes are designed to shield doors and windows from direct sunlight.

6. LED Lighting

High efficiency LED lighting is included in your Wickenburg Ranch home. LED lights not only have superior energy efficiency, but they also have an exceptionally long operating lifespan.
