SUN CITY TEXAS
Sun City is the first name most people think of when imagining active living for "adults 55 and better," and Sun City Texas more than lives up to the Del Webb mission. Located in the Texas Hill Country, where families and friends find many places and reasons to get together and enjoy life. The community has activities to spare with three championship golf courses, a lengthy list of activities including, but not limited to, bocce, tennis, fitness programs and walking/jogging trails to art studio and woodshop to computer lab and community garden plots. The emphasis is on fun and getting together with people who share your interests. Berry Lake Pavilion, for example, is built right on Berry Creek, which runs through the property, and is the site for family gatherings, picnics, church parties, wedding receptions, and enjoying the scenic beauty. |

We are doing so well, management has just OKed the release of 15 more inventory homes. That way when you're ready, we'll have "to be built" lots, homes under construction or completed homes for you to chose from. You might also have heard our company just announced our second quarter financial report and we enjoyed a nice profit. That hasn't been done by ANY company for some time and we're proud we where a major part of that here at Sun City Texas. So if you haven't visited, you owe it to yourself to see what all the excitement is about. My wife and I have lived here for over six years and still can't believe the fun and friends we have. Come join us!
AMENITIES: The digging still continues on our last amenity: our second fishing pond located next to the new Cowan Creek amenity center.
NEIGHBORHOOD 51 (CLASSICS): We have a great selection of lots in this neighborhood (just around the corner from the new Cowan Creek Amenity Center & Golf Course).

Sorry, no 25% lot discount for neighborhood 54 lots.
