Description: This is a luxury senior (55-plus) community where you buy both the manufactured home and the lot it’s on. It’s much like being a home owner in Sun City or Green Valley, except the home itself is prebuilt. Opened in 1989, Copper Crest has 357 sites of various sizes on its 80 acres. Complete packages—home, lot, and carport or garage—start in the low $200,000s with a maximum size of one-fifth acre. You’ll also pay a monthly home owner fee for maintenance of the common areas and facilities.Among the facilities you’ll find here for recreation and entertainment are a lap pool, spa, shuffleboard, bocce, horseshoes, library, dance floor, exercise room, billiards, crafts center, and a kitchen in the clubhouse for social gatherings. And because Copper Crest lies at the southwestern edge of the Tucson Mountains, there’s plenty to do and see at the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, Old Tucson Studios, and Tucson Mountain Park, all of which are nearby.
