SENIOR CITIZEN

INFORMATION & IMPORTANT NUMBERS

Arizona Seniors

The Phoenix area continues to attract a steady stream of retirees. And why wouldn’t it? The area is still relatively affordable,
there’s something here for everyone, and the sun shines seemingly every day! Even the financial crater left by the housing
market crash seems to be filling itself in as of late. Home prices are steadily rising and the inventory of foreclosures is
getting lower.
If you’re thinking about retiring to the “Valley of the Sun”, enjoy the following list of helpful phone numbers to make your
retirement that much more easier!
