First up was Sun City in Oro Valley. It was old and ruled out in short order. Next came Saddlebrooke Ranch, which quickly became our newest favorite. Distance to town was the only downside. Other than that it is clearly a winner. Either of two homes in the 1,700 square foot range would work for us and the facilities were first rate. The original Saddlebrooke was a little long in the tooth and we didn't bother spending much time there.
After lunch we headed to Sun City at Dove Mountain. A good 25 minutes from civilization and up in the mountains it had stunning views and was surrounded by several high end enclaves. Homes were similar to those at Sun City Festival, except in price. A little warning message was slipped to us by a sales agent when she said this was to be a boutique Sun City. I'm not quite sure how they justify $160 HOA's when there is no golf course or restaurant certainly no need for snow removal. Nice location, but we passed.
Dinner was at the same place as last night and once again two meals, two drinks and tax came in under $30.
Tomorrow we will be heading back to Sun City.
