SaddleBrooke Ranch sits north of Tucson, Arizona, surrounded by mountain views and the high Sonoran desert, and it feels like a quiet sanctuary where active adults aged 55 and over can slow down and enjoy life at their own pace, and everywhere you look, there are mountains, so you always feel like you're out in nature even when you're on a walk or just looking out the window of your home. The community's master-planned layout gives people a good mix of privacy and activity, and homes here come in different styles, including bungalows and detached residences, with options for front courtyards and guest casitas, all designed with outdoor living in mind, and prices for new homes start in the low $400,000s. The Ranch House clubhouse acts as a busy social spot for gathering and dining, and people have plenty of spaces to meet up or relax in lounges or the ballroom, and there's even a bistro and a pizza oven for casual meals with friends.
People who like golf spend time at the SaddleBrooke Ranch Golf Club, which has a championship 18-hole golf course, a pro shop, and a driving range, and you also see folks out on the 24 pickleball courts, the six lighted tennis courts, or the four bocce ball courts, so there's never a shortage of things to do outside, especially with biking trails, hiking trails, and a pet park for walking dogs or just getting out in the fresh air. The La Hacienda Club has an enormous outdoor resort pool, an indoor lap pool, a fitness center, and a luxury spa with massage rooms and a wellness room for stretching or quiet time, and people who like to keep active can take classes in water aerobics or join fitness groups.
Folks who enjoy creative things spend time at the Creative Arts and Tech Center or the Fine Arts Room, sewing, beading, doing pottery, or using computers to learn new skills, and you'll even find a woodworking shop, billiards room, library, and ballroom for bigger gatherings. There are clubs for almost every interest, whether you want to join the cycling club, genealogy club, hiking, RV, or wine club, and you'll find activities from bridge and bingo to clog dancing and singing groups, so anyone can keep up with what matters to them or discover something new. The activities director and community amenities like the heated lap pool, indoor pool, and sports and aquatics complex help people stay busy, and there's always something on the calendar for those who want it, but people also have space for quiet on their own.
SaddleBrooke Ranch has community gates and a roving patrol for added security, and pet-friendly policies mean you can bring your dog, and though the setting feels tranquil and away from busy city life, there are upscale amenities, from fine and casual dining to salons and a luxury spa, so daily life can be as simple or as full as you want. The community's sales center is open every day, and new homes are ready to be built or bought, with several home designs to choose from, all developed by Robson Communities, which has built communities like this for more than forty years. People enjoy living here because of the mountain views, quiet setting, and wide choice of things to do indoors and out, whether that's joining a club, taking fitness classes, volunteering, or just sitting in the lounge looking out at the desert.
