Sun City is a census-designated place and unincorporated town in Maricopa County, Arizona, United States. The population was 38,309 at the 2000 census. Its adjoining sister city is Sun City West both of which are retirement communities often for snowbirds.
Sun City started construction in the 1960s as a Del Webb community. Del Webb is a group that constructs retirement communities in the Sun Belt. Sun City has a planned street network, but disrupts the secondary street layout of Phoenix. Little has changed for the community in the last 40 years. However, as more retired to the area, Del Webb began construction on Sun City West in the late-1970s, Sun City Grand in the late-1990s, and Sun City Anthem in 1999 and Sun City Festival in July 2006.
The community is well known to law students, as it is featured in the case Spur Industries v. Del E. Webb Development Co., 494 P.2d 700 (Ariz. 1972), commonly used in first year property law courses to illustrate nuisance law.
