55-plus community that caters to an active lifestyle
Set about 26 miles south of Tucson, The Villages of Green Valley is a 55-plus community with single-family homes and resort-style recreation within the larger, unincorporated Green Valley—itself a retirement community founded in the 1960s. “We have a lot to offer our villagers here in The Villages of Green Valley,” says Nancy Lambert, a receptionist at The Villages of Green Valley who's lived in the area for over 8 years. Amenities here include a community swimming pool and a recreation center where social events are held. Most residents are also members of Green Valley Recreation, a non-profit, membership-based organization that plans local events and maintains over a dozen rec centers throughout Green Valley. Shopping and dining are within 2 miles of the community, and the overall CAP Index Crime Score is 2 out of 10, lower than the national average of 4.

The Villages' private rec center offers a lounge and sports like pickleball, tennis and shuffleboard. The community pool is especially popular in summer, when temperatures regularly top 100 degrees. “The pool is in use from six in the morning until ten at night—I kid you not,” Lambert says. Members of Green Valley Recreation enjoy access to all of the organization’s rec centers around town. About 2 miles away, the Las Campanas Social Center offers a fitness center, swimming pool, racquetball and more.
