Tucson 55+ & Retirement Relocation Made Easy
Tucson, AZ Real Estate Guide
Every year, thousands trade snow boots for sandals and choose Tucson for retirement or a fresh start. Arizona is the second-most popular retirement destination in the U.S., and it’s no mystery why we have 350 days of sunshine, desert mountain views, and communities where neighbors still wave hello.
Whether it’s Oro Valley with its golf courses and spas, Catalina Foothills with its sweeping city views, or active-adult communities like SaddleBrooke and Green Valley, Tucson offers a lifestyle as relaxed or active as you want it to be.
Through my Golden Hour Home Journey, I make relocation feel easy from FaceTime walkthroughs so you can tour homes from afar, to connecting you with trusted local pros so your new life here starts off on the right foot.
Things to Think About.
1. Use Remote Tours to Save Time
If you’re buying from out of state, technology is your best friend.
- I’ll walk you through homes live via FaceTime or Zoom, giving you a real-time view of every detail.
- You can narrow your shortlist from home, then fly in for the final choice.
- As HomeLight notes, a trusted agent’s virtual tour is the next best thing to being there in person.
2. Research Tucson’s Neighborhoods
Your perfect fit depends on your lifestyle:
- Catalina Foothills: Luxury, views, and proximity to the city.
- Oro Valley: Modern, master-planned, and close to recreation.
- Ventana Canyon: Tucked into the mountains for peace and privacy.
- Green Valley & SaddleBrooke: Active 55+ communities with clubs, golf, and social events.
I’ll walk you through each area’s amenities, from hospitals to hiking trails, so you can make a confident choice.
3. Plan Your Community Life
Staying active and social makes the move even better. Tucson offers:
- Hiking and walking clubs
- Art and photography classes
- Year-round community festivals and markets
One client called it “outdoor living with mountain views.” I’ll connect you with local groups, clubs, and even future neighbors before you unpack your first box.
4. Know the Financial Perks
Arizona offers retiree-friendly tax benefits:
- No tax on Social Security benefits or inheritances
- Among the lowest property taxes in the nation
Discuss the details with your tax advisor but these savings can make your retirement income stretch further.
5. Get an All-in-One Relocation Guide
My relocation package covers:
- Neighborhood breakdowns

Past clients have said that having a ready list of vetted resources meant “we never had to guess what was going on.”
