Corte Bella sits on 720 acres just outside Sun City West, with 1,650 single-family homes designed in a Tuscan style, full of arches, courtyards, and Italian fountains that make the whole place feel peaceful and a bit like a small village. You'll find homes with features like gated courtyards, fountains, and backyard spaces that look like a resort, and the houses themselves come in a range of sizes, from the Bellita at 1,283 square feet to the Grande at 3,274 square feet, so there's room for couples or just one person who likes some extra space. The community is gated, with a guard house run by Securitas, and the lawns are neatly kept with green grass, desert trees, and plenty of walking and biking trails weaving throughout.
Corte Bella's a 45+ community where homeowners are social members of the country club and can buy golf memberships if they want to play on the Greg Nash-designed 18-hole Corte Bella Golf Club, which has nice views of the mountain and water features, and it's part of a network with six other area golf courses so residents can get reciprocal discounts. Folks often take their golf carts out on the accessible streets, and there are tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce ball courts, and parks nearby for getting fresh air or enjoying time outside, plus a big outdoor resort-style pool with lap lanes, an aerobics studio, a 12,000 square foot fitness center, and a spa called Corte Bella Day Spa that's open from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM by appointment only, with all sorts of massage services-everything from hot stone and deep tissue to couples' and prenatal massages, along with waxing, facials, permanent makeup, and electrolysis, and people seem to think highly of the spa with quite a few five-star ratings.
Residents here have a choice of independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care to fit different needs. Homes have open floor plans and private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, high-speed internet, air conditioning, and telephone services in every room, so you're comfortable and connected whether you're spending the day in or having someone over. The community goes beyond just homes, offering medication management, housekeeping, laundry and dry cleaning, meal prep, special dietary options including for diabetics and food allergies, and staff who help with dressing, bathing, and around-the-clock support with a 24-hour call system. There's a dining room, a restaurant called Bella Vista Restaurant, plus all day and restaurant-style dining, and plenty of social opportunities with six cafes on-site, dozens of nearby restaurants, and regular daily activities, clubs, tournaments, card games, arts and crafts in the studio, and movies at the community theater.
Corte Bella has unique names for many spaces-like the Anacapa Grill & Bar and the activity and fitness rooms-and gives extra attention to special touches, from the arts room and library to walking paths, scenic lakes, grassy patches for picnics, and scenic mountain or golf course views you can enjoy from outdoor seating areas. Folks here have access to electrician services, salon and spa treatments, Wi-Fi everywhere, reliable cars driven by mature drivers for errands or appointments, and transportation to and from Sky Harbor Airport with Airport Direct. Emergency medical needs are covered, too, with two hospitals, 26 doctors, and nine pharmacies close by, as well as grocery stores and major medical centers like Del Webb nearby.
Everything is set up so all sorts of care types are available, whether you're still living independently or need a bit more attention, and there are regular community-sponsored events, scheduled outdoor programs, and support for moving in that make things a little easier. Life at Corte Bella centers around golf, friends, social clubs, and just having the chance to live at your own pace, with features aimed at both relaxation and activity, and a peaceful, well-kept environment where every area and service has a clear, easy-to-understand name that fits right in.
