GREEN VALLEY

Sonoran Haven for Active Retirees

Known for its mild climate and desirable location, Green Valley, located in Pima County, is comprised primarily of active adult communities. Its neighborhoods appeal to those who are seeking a comfortable and richly diverse lifestyle. Just 25 miles south of Tucson in a basin of the Santa Rita Mountains along the western bank of the Santa Cruz River, Green Valley has it all – from convenient access to outdoor pursuits that include fishing, golfing and birding, to opportunities for arts and cultural appreciation.

The majority of the residential developments in Green Valley are designated for those aged 55 and over. Locals often travel by golf cart to meet up with friends for a cup of coffee, browse the farmers market for fresh produce and flowers or join a lively pickleball game. Members of the Green Valley Recreation organization enjoy privileges at its pools, spas, fi tness centers and sports courts. There are also plenty of classes, lectures and clubs to suit a variety of interests, and the West Social Center satisfi es those seeking theater and musical entertainment.

Nearby Madera Canyon, only 25 miles southeast of Green Valley, is a favorite destination for spotting wildlife, picnicking and hitting the trail. For exploration of a different kind, head to the educational Hacienda de la Canoa Ranch or the fascinating exhibits at the Titan Missile Museum, each of which offers a healthy dose of history. The unique village of Tubac is only 20 miles away, with cultural offerings throughout the year as well as the acclaimed annual Festival of the Arts that has been showcasing the handiwork of artisans from across the country for over six decades.

In the fall, the highly anticipated Country Fair White Elephant Parade is the perfect representation of the neighborly atmosphere that prevails in Green Valley. It’s an annual event designed to give back to the community while bringing everyone together in one exciting united celebration. With such a vibrant spirit, and so many activities to choose from in and around the area, it's no surprise that in 2020, Forbes magazine listed Green Valley as the best place to retire in the state of Arizona and one of the top 25 retirement cities nationwide.
