Details: This "Sun City" home in a private setting outside Tucson city limits, has access to many community amenities, including golf, tennis, jogging and exercise and recreational facilities.

The agent for the property, Carole Carlton, says the community should hold its value better than most in the Tucson area.

"It attracts so many people," she says. Many of them are retirees from the north who live here half the year. The buyers tend to be very financially secure and there has been little speculative investment in Sun City.
