Discover the top 5 reasons retirees love living life here:

1. Endless outdoor adventure

Stay active and fit exploring miles of community trails — conveniently equipped with dog stations — or toss a frisbee with Fido at one of Gladden Farms’ many dog parks. The brand-new Paws n’ Claws Park, the largest in the community, even offers an agility course and two fenced-in areas for puppy play next to our Glenmere and Parkside neighborhoods.

For cycling, horseback riding or early morning strolls, the recently completed CalPortland SUP link connects our community to the entire 136-mile Pima County Loop System via the Gladden Farms Soccer Fields. This gives you direct access to one of the most picturesque trail networks in the county.

2. Community connections and senior-friendly activities

Stay active and social with our outstanding Community Association’s full roster of community events. From outdoor concerts, monthly food truck roundups and seasonal holiday parties, you’ll have endless opportunities to meet neighbors, share laughs and forge lasting friendships.

The Town of Marana’s Senior Center is also just minutes away, offering a range of activities through their Senior Program, including:

• A fitness center and exercise classes like line dancing, yoga and Zumba
• Field trips and parties
• Enrichment classes covering Medicare, computer use and more
• Social events like luncheons, paint nights, bingo and Mahjongg clubs!

Plus, with the Sun Shuttle Dial-a-Ride curb-to-curb transportation service, it’s easier than ever to get around town.

3. Heartwarming family fun

The convenient, family-friendly nature of our community connects generations. Indeed, many retirees choose Gladden Farms for a simple reason: to be closer to those that matter most. Moving near the kids — and grandkids! — brings opportunities for more visits and shared experiences.

Even senior residents without grandchildren nearby enjoy the community’s wholesome family atmosphere — especially during the holidays! Gay and Johnny Thompson, winners of the 2022 Gladden Farms winter holidays decorating contest, are a perfect example, decking their house annually for all Gladden Farms children to enjoy.
