Arizona Traditions is located at Surprise in the NW valley of the Greater Phoenix Real estate area. With 1,700 homes, Arizona Traditions is significantly smaller than some of the larger active adult communities. It offers a small community feel with big community amenities.

D.R. Horton designed Arizona Traditions to meet the requests of retirees who wanted an active lifestyle community in a smaller, more intimate setting. Unlike some of the larger Sun City communities of the area, Arizona Traditions focused on creating a small-town-like charm.

Since opening in 1996, Arizona Traditions has been regarded as a mecca for adults who want age-restricted living without crowds and congestion. It is nestled near the base of the White Tank Mountains just west of the Loop 303 freeway.
