Surprise is one of the most vibrant and welcoming cities in the entire Northwest Valley, celebrated for its family-friendly atmosphere, beautifully planned communities, and the genuine warmth and community spirit that has made it one of the fastest-growing and most beloved destinations in all of Arizona. What began as a small and quiet desert town founded in 1938 by Flora Mae Statler, who named the city Surprise because she would be surprised if it ever amounted to anything, has grown into a thriving and dynamic city that continues to exceed every expectation and draw families and retirees from across the country who are looking for an exceptional quality of life in the heart of the Northwest Valley.

The city is home to a wonderfully diverse and deeply connected population, with neighborhoods ranging from the active adult communities of Sun City Grand to the newer and beautifully designed master-planned residential developments that stretch across its growing borders. Surprise residents are known for their strong community pride, their love of the outstanding parks, recreation centers, and spring training baseball that the city has become famous for, and the easygoing and neighborly character that makes every person who settles here feel immediately at home.
