H2: Sun City: one builder, one era, a whole city of it
Sun City opened in 1960 as the first of Del Webb's active-adult communities, and it remains the purest single-era housing stock in the valley: concentric streets of one-story ranches, golf courses and recreation centers at the rings, and a population rhythm set by the seasons, full all winter and quieter through the summer heat. Phoenix Air Care works Sun City on the West Valley days, and most Sun City calls are seen the same day.
A city built in one era ages like one big house. The plans repeat across thousands of addresses, so the equipment story repeats too: generations of systems installed street by street in the same few years, each generation reaching its failure ages together. Single-story living removes the upstairs penalty and concentrates the failures in the classics, and the seasonal pattern adds its own chapter: houses held at high temperatures through the summer under a neighbor's watch, then asked for full comfort in November, with drains and filters carrying the empty months inside them.
Tell Marla your street and whether the house winters full or summers empty. In Sun City those two facts describe the system's life more completely than its brand plate does.
Guidance for Sun City: ask what the houses on your street have been replacing. In single-era stock the street's history is the most honest forecast available, and in Sun City the streets have sixty years of it written down.
