The Links at Santa Rita Springs

The Links at Santa Rita Springs sits in a golf course community, right up against the Torres Blancas Golf Course, so there's a lot of green space and views of the Santa Rita and Catalina Mountains you'll see from many rooms and patios, and while the homes can be quite large, from about 1,500 to over 6,000 square feet with up to four bedrooms and several bathrooms, most are single-story ranch styles with open floor plans, high ceilings, and features like floor-to-ceiling glass or oversized windows that let in a lot of sunlight, plus stamped concrete, custom gates, and even some stone fireplaces, and you'll find amenities like chef-friendly kitchens with granite countertops and stainless appliances, private yards, wine fridges, and some homes even have private pools or sit on several acres; the larger homes come with four-car garages and elegant finishes, while the main community areas feature great rooms, dining spaces, a media room, a personal gym, and multiple laundry rooms. The community is active, for adults aged 55 and up, and residents can pick from independent living, assisted living, memory care, respite care, and sometimes skilled nursing, which helps to cover a lot of different care needs, so there's help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and daily activities if it's needed, plus a 24-hour call system for safety and supervision, and they really do focus on keeping everyone as active as possible, which is probably why there are 13 swimming pools, courts for tennis, pickleball, bocce, shuffleboard, and basketball, along with fishing lakes, lots of walking and biking trails, and you'll see monthly events like the Link-Up party or Ladies Luncheon and resident-led activities all throughout the year. There's a big focus on good meals, so you get restaurant-style dining with a chef who prepares allergy-sensitive dishes, all-day dining, snacks, and for those with special diets, the menus can be adjusted, and they've got breakfast, lunch, and dinner services just like school meal programs you might remember, which is a detail the community uses along with names like "Community School," "High School," "Elementary School," and specialized "Alt Ed" and "Alternative - North West Year Round School" options because they're also partnered with several educational programs, offering language immersion, adult education, Christian programs, and even French, so there's something for people who want to keep learning or stay engaged, and K-12 students in nearby neighborhoods can find services at these schools. Most residences come with two to three bedrooms, at least two bathrooms, attached garages, and reliable basics like Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, kitchenettes, private bathrooms, telephones, and some even have furnishings, and outside, there are outdoor courtyards, walking paths, landscaped areas, and pool decks so folks can enjoy the views. The Links keeps a small, tight-knit feeling, too, with some areas only housing up to six residents, supporting a close community where staff offer personalized attention, whether it's help with meals, medication, housekeeping, or move-in coordination. Safety and convenience come up often, with browser and IP protection to keep residents' data secure, anti-crawler measures, laundry, housekeeping, and even family support and concierge services. For community life, residents have access to Green Valley Recreation centers, with everything from fitness and ballrooms to hobby studios, game rooms, libraries, and more, plus outdoor and indoor programs to stay social and active. There's a homeowners association that looks after things like landscaping, trash pickup, and the shared spaces, and being so close to shopping like The Marketplace on Calle De Las Tiendas, Continental Shopping Plaza, or Green Valley Village Mall makes errands easy. Residents can join fitness, aerobics, or dance groups, use the spa, join woodworking, or arts and crafts, and enjoy both indoor and outdoor living-there are patios, mountain views, and areas for reading or watching movies. For those needing a break, respite care is offered for short-term stays, and there are always medical services available, with regular supervision and a focus on health and wellness, whatever a resident's needs might be.
