Arizona is known for its temperate climate, much like its warm weather counterpart, Florida. Because this desert state has gorgeous scenery, including mountains and the Grand Canyon, it has long been a retirement destination. As such, there are many Arizona retirement communities in Arizona. Today we shine the MHVillager spotlight on a few of these warm weather 55+ manufactured home communities:

They feature such amenities as an ample on-site library, whirlpool-spa-hot tub, spacious clubhouse, and scenic picnic area.

Holiday Village, Mesa, Arizona
Holiday Village is a Retirement Community located in Mesa, Arizona. The name “Mesa” stems from the Spanish 
word for table. The city gets its name from the area’s distinctive table-top shaped mountains, which also is appropriate because Mesa is a culinary gateway to the Valley of the Sun. Also nearby are the Major League Baseball Spring Training facilities where the Chicago Cubs train every spring. Additionally, it is within a half-day’s drive to the Grand Canyon and other national parks.
Holiday Village is a community consisting of a variety of homes owned by permanent and seasonal residents from several states and Canada. Homes include recreational vehicles, travel trailers, single- and double-section homes.
Not only do amenities include heated pool, spa, bocce and tennis courts, billiards, cards, crafts and a great clubhouse, but the Activity Club offers many events during the fall, winter and spring months, from hiking, golfing and bingo to bridge, dancing and dinners.
