"If you're bored, you're not trying."

Since 1995, Sun City has offered a socially active, amenity-filled lifestyle to 55-and-older Roseville residents. With two golf courses, a sprawling clubhouse and a classy restaurant, this roughly 2-square-mile community encourages locals to get the most out of their golden years. “If you’re bored, you’re not trying,” says seven-year Sun City resident and Realtor Don Schlaegel of Schlaegel Real Estate.

Well-maintained golf courses and a croquet lawn

Twenty-seven holes of golf wind throughout Sun City. Residents can play discounted games at either the 18-hole Timber Creek Golf Course or the nine-hole Sierra Pines Golf Course. The former begins at the 52,000-square-foot Timber Creek Lodge in the neighborhood’s southern section. Additional amenities at this sprawling facility include an outdoor recreational pool, an indoor lap pool, and pickleball, tennis and bocce courts. Residents can also play on an outdoor croquet court even the Queen of Hearts would envy. “The golf course staff maintains the croquet lawn like a putting green,” Schlaegel says. He adds that residents can bond with their neighbors by participating in various chartered clubs. These include collectives focused on bridge, dance, drama, travel and more.

Golf cart parades for the holidays

Whether they golf or not, many Sun City residents navigate the neighborhood on their golf carts. These play a role in several seasonal community events, including the Veteran’s Day and Christmas parades. “People sit outside and watch decorated golf carts go through the neighborhood,” Schlaegel says. Locals also gather every July 3 for an Independence Day fireworks show, which Schlaegel says is “huge” and “must last at least 20 minutes.” Summertime often brings live bands to the community’s outdoor amphitheater, while music is always playing in the lodge’s bar and lounge.

Single-level living for all

After pleasant days of socializing, Sun City locals retreat to single-level, Mediterranean Revival and Craftsman-style homes. “Once you get to a certain age, you don’t want to negotiate those stairs anymore,” Schlaegel says. Residents select from over 20 different floor plans ranging between 878 and 2,600 square feet; lots average less than 1/5 acre. One-bedroom homes start in the $400,000s, while three-bedrooms can reach the mid-$900,000s. Pricier homes often come with larger-than-average lots and extra garage space — perhaps even a separate carport for the golf cart.

Day-to-day needs across the street

Sun City is much closer to shopping and dining options than it once was. “Before, we’d have to drive half a mile to Pleasant Grove to get groceries at Raley’s,” Schlaegel says. “Now, we have a Safeway being built just adjacent to us and a Raley’s O-N-E Market just across the street to the north.” This specialized supermarket features a heightened focus on organic foods and offers various wellness resources to customers. Well-known businesses surrounding it include Chipotle, Great Clips and The Habit Burger Grill. Residents can also make reservations at the Timber Creek Lodge’s upscale, in-house restaurant, Timbers at the Lodge. Whether during Sunday brunch or a typical meal any other day, visitors enjoy Timbers’ calm atmosphere, full bar and panoramic windows.

Airport proximity for golden-years travelers

Sometimes, Sun City residents need to venture a little farther than their golf carts will take them. In those instances, drivers can quickly reach California Route 65 via Blue Oaks Boulevard Pleasant Grove Boulevard. Those who like to spend their golden years traveling will appreciate having a 20-minute drive to Sacramento International Airport.

Looking out for one another

While away on longer trips, locals find solace in the presence of the volunteer neighborhood watch organization. “They drive around the community to keep an eye out — they’ll give you a call to let you know if you’ve left your garage door open,” Schlaegel says. “There’s little to no crime. People feel safe here, because they know their neighbors.”
