Living Well in Southern Arizona

One of the things that sets Green Valley apart is Green Valley Recreation, Inc. (GVR) — a non-profit organization that operates 14 recreation centers serving this vibrant 55+ active adult community. GVR provides residents with endless opportunities for play, leisure, personal enrichment, and social connection.

GVR's offerings are unmatched by any other master-planned retirement community worldwide, making it a true gem in Southern Arizona.

How GVR Membership Works
GVR membership is deeded to the property, not the individual. This means:

- Membership automatically transfers to the new owner when a property sells..
- If you're considering a home in Green Valley, check with your Realtor® to confirm whether the property is part of GVR.

GVR Fees (as of January 1, 2023)
(Subject to annual change. Other conditions may apply.)

If purchasing a home with an existing GVR membership:

- Membership Change Fee: $3,100 (one-time, due at closing)
- Annual Dues: $530
- Transfer Fee: $465 (one-time per transaction)
The Membership Change Fee supports ongoing maintenance and improvements to GVR facilities.
If you own no more than one GVR property and move from one primary GVR residence to another within 365 days, the fee is refundable.
