Despite the name, the location is just a short jaunt from Vegas and Phoenix. It's a good thing the folks at Del Webb built the community in the first place. The company has its share of mishaps, though. With that in mind, keeping your wits about you is best.

For starters, there are plenty of indoor and outdoor places to play. If your fancy is refined, consider looking into some of the surrounding cities. Among them, Scottsdale is only about 20 minutes away, and Mesa is a stone's throw from downtown Phoenix. So, whether you're a resident or a visitor, you'll always be close to a quality meal, an ounce of whiskey, and a nice warm shower.

If you're looking to get outside of the Phoenix area, you can find many outdoor model trains in Arizona. The state is home to many HO, G, O, and Z scale layouts. Some are in the Scottsdale and Phoenix areas, while others are in a smaller geographic location.

It's a G-scale garden railroad with a trolley line down Front Street, plus room for building modeling.

5 Reasons Why Sun City Grand is a Great Place to Live

On a more technical note, the Beardsley Recreation Center layout has four main-line routes, and it even runs on rail and battery power. This is because it's built on a 45 mm gauge, allowing more powerful trains.

As soon as you pull up to this Expanded Borgata in The Grand, you can tell this home has been meticulously maintained by its original owners since it was built in 2002, true pride of ownership. A 528-square-foot addition completed in 2012 brought the home to its current 2,478 square feet, all on a single level and set on a corner lot. A tile roof, stucco exterior, desert landscaping, and a 3-car garage with an extended driveway, so you don't have to walk in the rocks, set the stage before you even reach the door. Open the gate and walk through the courtyard, finished in designer painted knockdown-finish concrete with golf course views, straight to the decorative security door and front entry. Inside, an open-concept great room greets you with tile flooring, ceiling fans, and a solar tube that brings in extra natural light. Built-in surround sound, plantation shutters, and built-in wall shelving complete the space, and a sliding glass door opens straight out to the large covered back patio. The kitchen sits right off the great room and flex space, with quartz countertops and a matching slab backsplash framing a stainless steel double oven range, built-in microwave, and a French door refrigerator with pull-out freezer drawer. Skylights and recessed lighting keep it bright, and a pantry with an etched glass door, an undermount sink, and a dedicated reverse osmosis faucet make the kitchen feel complete and ready for cooking. Just off the kitchen is an expansive, light-filled flex space offers room for dining, a sunroom, sitting area, game or card tables, hobbies, or additional entertaining space. It shares the same golf course and front courtyard views, with plantation shutters, a ceiling fan, and recessed lighting completing the room. The primary suite has it all! The generously sized bedroom offers wood-look flooring, ceiling fans, and a bay window with plantation shutters, and leads into an en-suite bath with a dual-sink vanity, a light-colored quartz countertop, 12x24 tile flooring, and a separate water closet. A curbless, zero-entry walk-in tiled shower with two built-in bench seats, grab bars, a hand-held shower wand, and towel hooks makes this space as accessible as it is beautiful.

A pocket door off the primary bedroom connects directly to an attached hobby room, with built-in white cabinetry, open shelving, a counter-height workspace, its own closet, and a second refrigerator; perfect for crafts, hobbies, or a private workshop. There's even a private exterior door out to the side walkway that runs from the garage. A separate den/office comes complete with a built-in L-shaped wood desk, an arched display niche, and a fold-down Murphy bed, making it just as functional as a guest bedroom, with plantation shutters, recessed lighting, a ceiling fan, and tile flooring throughout. Next door, the other bedroom offers a large closet, plantation shutters, and a ceiling fan, served by a full guest bathroom with a tub/shower combo, a shutter-covered window, and a wood vanity with a light-colored quartz countertop. The laundry room adds cabinets on both upper and lower walls, a sink, and electric or gas dryer hookups, with a door leading straight into the garage. The 3-car garage is a dream, with built-in cabinetry, two workbenches, a utility sink with overhead cabinets, and attic access for all the storage you could want, plus insulated garage doors with openers on both doors, a side entry door, and a finished floor just like the court yard. The covered back patio also features the same finished concrete flooring as the courtyard and garage. A curved stucco pony wall adds built-in seating, a stubbed gas line stands ready for a fire pit or built-in barbecue, and a ceiling fan keeps things comfortable year-round. A sliding glass door with a security door adds extra privacy. The fully fenced backyard, wrapped in block and wrought iron, features desert landscaping with rock groundcover, mature trees, columnar cactus, and a PVC drip irrigation system for low-maintenance living. This home was also built with upgraded 2x6 exterior wall construction, rather than the standard 2x4 you'll find in most homes, for a more energy-efficient build from the ground up. A Trane HVAC system rated at 16 SEER, natural gas heat, a gas water heater, dual-pane windows, solar tubes, and Energy Star light fixtures add even more efficiency.
