Another fast-growing community in the Northwest Valley is the City of Surprise, Arizona, located along the U.S. 60 and State Highway 93. The unusual moniker was chosen by founder Homer C. Ludden who named it after his hometown in Nebraska. Ludden first developed Surprise as a residential haven for agricultural workers. In recent years the city has led Arizona in welcoming new residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Even more fuel was added to this record-breaking expansion with the introduction of Del Webbs active adult community Sun City Grand. This beautiful 4,OOO-acre master- planned retirement community offers a world- class atmosphere filled with residential neighborhoods and recreational amenities. Newcomers to Sun City Grand can choose from a wide selection of home styles that surround two beautiful golf courses, spa, fitness center and the conveniences of the Sonoran Plaza. White Tank Regional Park borders Surprise on the western side offering vast acreage for camping, hiking, biking and picnicking. Home to the West Valley Art Museum, Surprise celebrates the arts with an impressive permanent collection as well as traveling exhibits from around the globe. The rustic Western cowboy town of Wickenburg is nearby providing several popular resorts and an opportunity to enjoy western attractions. Also close to Surprise is the recreational area surrounding Lake Pleasant, one of the Valleys most popular destinations for water sports and boating. To the northwest lie the ghost towns of Arizona’s gold country. Surrounding the community are beautiful desert settings for picnics, horseback riding, hiking and trails for exploring. Surprise, AZ is a wonderful place to settle down and raise a family or retire and enjoy the good life, you can’t go wrong in Surprise, Arizona.
