Overview
In our words
According to a JLL announcement of the property's sale, Thunderbird Senior Living is a 345-unit senior housing community in Glendale, Arizona, spread across 13 interconnected three-story buildings on a 7.8-acre lot. It was last renovated in 2018, and when the property was sold to an undisclosed buyer on January 5, 2026, Stellar Senior Living stayed on as the company that runs it. Every unit has its own kitchen, private bathroom and private bedroom, and the community shares a heated outdoor pool, nature trails, sun decks, an art room, a beauty salon and barber shop, a bistro, a game room, a library, living room lounges and a theater.
