Sun City Center Community Spotlight

Sun City Center is a sprawling 55+ community with 200+ clubs, two hospitals, and a private golf-cart road network.

At a Glance

One of Florida's largest active-adult communities (55+) with more than 200 clubs, two championship golf courses, indoor and outdoor pools, and golf-cart-accessible shopping.

Did You Know?

Sun City Center has its own private golf-cart road system that lets residents reach the grocery store, doctor, pharmacy, and golf course without ever getting in a car.
