Neighborhood 3 is one of the first neighborhoods constructed in Sun City in 1996. These were the hardy pioneers who bought into the dream that is Sun City when it consisted of posters, diagrams, maps and mud. None of the amenities were completed yet and many had to chose their lots wearing boots and hardhats. The design center was a trailer. The entire community was able to meet at the Pavilion for potlucks and socials. These residents are responsible for the founding of many of the Chartered Clubs, the Neighborhood Reps Organization and the Block Captain concept. In the beginning Block Captains were Watch Coordinators who worked in conjunction with the COPS.

Neighborhood 3 is one of the larger neighborhoods with 245 rooftops spread over 12 streets and cul-de-sacs. This tree shaded established neighborhood is home to many clubs, coffee groups, dinner groups, bridge groups and social networks organized on a block basis. Each year the entire neighborhood enjoys a dinner and Social, "It's Not Summer Yet" party with food and entertainment to welcome the end of cool weather and the beginning of summer.

Neighborhood Representative is Fran Sanders and the Alternate is Mary Ann Porcher. They replaced Martha Knight and Jackie Cuozzo. There are approximately fifteen Block Captains who attend to the needs of their own neighbors and forward communications from the Neighborhood Reps Organization.  The neighborhood map can be found here.
