[2] Del Webb, a publicly traded company when Sun City Texas was originally conceived and through the first several years of homebuilding, was later sold to PulteGroup.

For marketing purposes, near the new Sales Center there are a limited number of houses called the Explore Del Webb Program[3] (each complete with a golf cart), which are used for providing low-cost overnight accommodations for prospects to "live the life" of Sun City for a few days.

Due to a change in state law initiated by the developer, it is legal to drive licensed "golf cars" on the streets in the development and the shopping areas and all activity centers throughout Sun City have special parking spaces for the golf cars.

There are three golf courses, a large central activity center (with a ballroom, meeting rooms, a library and business center), hobby facilities (including woodworking, computer lab, ceramics studio, dancing, and others), numerous pools, lakes for fishing, and many other recreational facilities.

Four "satellite" activity centers are located across the development, each with indoor and outdoor pools, aerobic and dance studios and many other facilities.
