A client called me six months after closing on his Sun City Shadow Hills home — running about $800 a month over budget. He knew the mortgage. He knew the HOA. What he didn't know was the rest of the math: utilities, golf, pool service, and property taxes, all stacked together.
So in this video, I'm breaking down every real ongoing cost at Sun City Shadow Hills, then running those same numbers against Sun City Palm Desert and Del Webb Rancho Mirage — so you know exactly what you're signing up for before you write an offer.
What we cover:
🏘️ Sun City Shadow Hills — HOA currently at $398/month (verify before you close, listings often show outdated numbers), IID electric savings, golf trail fees and resident rates, plus the Landscape & Lighting tax assessments that can quietly add to your bill
⛳ Sun City Palm Desert — HOA at $417/month, same IID electric advantage, a golf program built for regular players, and no Mello-Roos or city taxes
🌴 Del Webb Rancho Mirage — HOA ranging $337–$450/month depending on section, SCE electric territory (with a small assist from the Rancho Mirage Energy Authority), and a higher overall cost of living
💰 Plus the costs nobody puts on a spreadsheet: pool service, yard care, property tax differences, and the social spending that adds up faster than you'd think
