When the real estate developer Del Webb conceived Sun City in the 1950s, the goal was something unheard of at that time: build a retirement community specifically for adults. It was fitting, then, that the layout of the community be equally distinctive.*Amidst the rectangular grids that make up most neighborhoods in the greater Phoenix area, Sun City’s radial streets, curving lines of homes, and verdant golf courses are hard to miss when seen from above.
