Community guide

What is it like to live in Sun City MacDonald Ranch?

Sun City MacDonald Ranch is the smaller, quieter Sun City in Henderson. Del Webb built its 2,513 homes between 1996 and 2001 on the first village of the MacDonald Ranch land, at the base of the foothills off Horizon Ridge Parkway. It was Del Webb's second 55+ community in the valley, after Sun City Summerlin.

The homes are compact and easy to live in: 18 floor plans, mostly single story, from about 1,000 to just over 2,000 square feet, and a section of attached villas. Because the community is all one age, the streets are calm, and the newest homes here are now more than 20 years old, so updates, roofs, and air conditioning units vary a lot from house to house.

Life centers on the Desert Willow Clubhouse, a 36,000 square foot building with a fitness center, a dance and aerobics room, a ballroom with a stage, a library, billiards, meeting rooms, and craft studios, along with the Willow restaurant. Outside there is a lap pool and spa, bocce, tennis, and walking paths. The Desert Willow Golf Course, a Billy Casper and Greg Nash design, is a short 18 hole course that the residents own, and it has some of the best valley views of any course in Henderson.

Location is the other draw. The 215 Beltway is next door, The District at Green Valley Ranch and the hospitals on the east side of Henderson are a few minutes away, and the airport is about 15 minutes by car. Sun City Anthem, about ten minutes south, is the larger Del Webb option with three recreation centers.

Outdoors

What is there to do outside in Sun City MacDonald Ranch?

Golf on the residents' own course, plus a pool, courts, and walking paths around the clubhouse.

  • Desert Willow Golf Course

    An 18 hole, par 60 executive course designed by Billy Casper and Greg Nash and owned by the residents, with long views over the valley.

  • Pool and courts

Before you buy

What should you check before buying in Sun City MacDonald Ranch?

Confirm the age rules, ask for the HOA resale package, and get an inspection and insurance quote that account for the age of the home.

  1. Age rules

    This is a 55+ community. Confirm the rules for who must be 55 or older, who else can live in the home, and any limits on younger residents before you write an offer.

  2. HOA resale package

    Ask for the resale package with current dues, what they cover, any special assessments, and transfer fees. Ask how golf course costs are shared, since the residents own the course.

  3. Age of the home

    Every home here was built between 1996 and 2001. Ask the age of the roof, the air conditioning, and the water heater, and have the plumbing checked, so you know what you will be replacing.

  4. Villas and shared walls

    Some homes are attached villas. Ask what the association maintains on the outside and what the owner is responsible for.

  5. Insurance quote for the exact address

    Premiums vary by street, age of the roof, and pool. Get a quote on the actual address early, not a general estimate.

  6. Solar leases

    If the home has solar panels, find out whether they are owned or leased. A lease transfers to you and needs the solar company's approval.
