Sun City Shadow Hills

It took a long time to make a decision where to retire, but I made the right choice in SCSH. People are friendly, very dog friendly, which was a priority for me. There is so much do here, it feels like summer camp. Love my home and my community.

We just purchased a home in Sun City Shadow Hills and are thrilled with the community. We are in our late 50's and wanted to find an active and welcoming retirement community that we can enjoy for the next 20-30 years. We feel like we have found the perfect place. The grounds are beautiful, my husband loves the golf courses, both fitness and pool areas are outstanding and we felt the value of the home prices was very attractive. We love to hike so are excited to join the hiking club. Our neighbors were so welcoming and friendly. We were invited for a wine and cheese party after only 3 days. We feel a real sense of community at SCSH. In addition having the Palm Springs and the beautiful Coachella Valley to explore for hiking, dining, shopping etc. made it a great choice for us.

We purchased a home in Sun City Shadow Hills (SCSH) in 2006 for future retirement as we were just in our 40's at the time. In the meantime, we have leased our home out and have not had any issues with the home or the tenants, our current tenant has been in the home for about 4 years and have extended the lease again. They love the community and their home. After all those years we have not had any issues with our home, plumbing has been fine, roof, appliances. We did have a few stucco cracks near 2 windows (probably settling) the cracks seemed significant to us so we contacted Pulte CS and they said they were not of the size that would be covered under their warranty (10 years) we called just after 10 years and Pulte repaired the cracks... We are very happy with the customer service & the quality of work. We are Realtors, so we know all the 55plus communities we introduced our in-laws to this lovely community which has been their home since 2004, they still love SCSH and thank us to this day for helping them decide to leave OC and move to the Desert! They have many friends are are enjoying an active retirement. SCSH is close to shopping, medical, entertainment. There is an onsite Restaurant w/ bar - Shadows Restaurant & Bistro at the Pro Shop! Two Golf Courses without membership dues! Tennis, Pickle ball, movie nights, Concert Series, Plays and so much more... there really is something for everybody to enjoy. We've sold many homes in SCSH since it's grand opening and thus far all our clients are happy with their decision and appreciate the lifestyle offered with low HOA dues as of 1/1/17 $255 per month. If you are thinking of retiring a few years down the line, consider buying now at today's dollars ... it's easy to rent out homes in the this community to quality tenants, there usually is a shortage of lease homes available, so consider this option we are happy we have our retirement home waiting when we are ready!

We spent many vacations in the Palm Springs area, so when we were looking for a snow-bird location, we wanted a place with a lot of activity and a chance to meet people and make friends. Gracie and the Nilson team helped us find Shadow Hills and the perfect home away from home. They handled all the details of the lease, and followed up on any details to make sure we got settled in and continue to take care of any arrangements necessary during our stay. We are now on our third year and continue to depend on the Nilson Team to find us the perfect home. We enjoy golf, pickleball, painting and many other activities. We have met good friends and look forward to coming each season. Wendy Wersal
