With private theaters, regular happy hours, hands-on art or cocktail classes, and 24-hour concierge services, today’s retirement communities are not just landing spots but rather havens offering luxury amenities and activities that make life in these years truly golden. Here are some of the best in Scottsdale.
Revel Communities
With endless amenities, activities, and perks that answer every quest from intellectual and spiritual to physical and social, residents have the power to make life truly their own.
A heated saltwater pool is ideal for a soothing dip, and the luxurious theater welcomes residents to come together to watch sporting events, movies, and other exciting programming on the big screen. Off-site excursions, nature strolls, and live music experiences accompany on-site chef's table dinners, Mixology 101 classes, hands-on art classes, pickleball lessons, and happy hours.
At Revel McDowell Mountain, a combination of modern desert living with a vibrant community atmosphere is encapsulated by breathtaking views of the McDowell Mountain Range.
At Revel Scottsdale’s prime location near the heart of Scottsdale and adjacent to Paradise Valley, residents have easy access to premier entertainment, shopping, and dining venues.
“What sets Revel apart is our unwavering commitment to resident-centered services and amenities,” explains Ron Villacis, regional vice president of operations at Revel Communities. “From chef-driven dining experiences to a variety of wellness programs, we empower our residents to live life on their own terms, fostering a vibrant and engaging community that stands out in the independent living sector.”
Overture North Scottsdale
Amid some of the most idyllic spaces in the city, Overture North Scottsdale residents soak up true resort living with just about every creature comfort they could crave.
From outdoor living amenities like kitchens and grill areas and yoga and game lawns to a state-of-the-art fitness center and movie theater, plus social hours, cooking demos and off-site adventures, daily living truly comes alive.
A jaunt to a nearby restaurant for dine-in bingo, discovery trips to scenic parts of Arizona, and a journey to explore Tucson’s natural wonders are recent examples of what’s par for the course.
Spacious homes that offer 10-foot-high ceilings, kitchens designed to entertain with stainless-steel appliances, and large balconies make staying home luxurious, too.
“Scottsdale is the vision of resort living and we wanted to encapsulate that here,” says William Wyatt, community manager for Overture North Scottsdale. “You can enjoy 330 days of sunshine, and we’ve found ways to get our residents up, active, and enjoying this beautiful environment.”
