Live your best life in Surprise, AZ!

Just 45 minutes from Downtown Phoenix is Surprise, Arizona, a former Global City of the Year and a place where pleasant weather and suburban quaintness are rolled into one. So why have so many people flocked to this growing city on the outskirts of the Phoenix metropolitan area? There are dozens of good reasons, but we’ve narrowed it down to nine.

1. Cost of living: Compared to other major Phoenix suburbs, Surprise offers a cheaper overall cost of living.
2. Safety: Surprise’s total crime rate is 35% below the national average and 60% lower than the US violent crime average.
3. Sunshine: Averaging 300+ days of sunshine every year and a comfortable 73° between November and February, Surprise is great for people who enjoy warmer weather.
4. Family friendly: There are 14 parks and recreation centers around Surprise and fun family activities like the zoo, aquarium, safari park, and bowling alley.
5. Sporting events: Golf, tennis, and baseball are popular favorites in Surprise thanks to its nine golf courses and hosting of the Surprise Tennis Championships and spring training for the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers.
6. Festivals and events: Gather around for music, food, and fun at community events throughout the year like the Second Sundays, the Food Truck Festival, the Fine Art & Wine Festival, and the Surprise Party.
7. Sustainability: Since the city is in the Sonoran Desert, community members make sure to conserve water, recycle, and grow plants that don’t need a lot of moisture. Surprise also offers a sustainability program, which provides free landscaping classes to residents.
8. Dysart Unified School District: DUSD is recognized nationally and internationally and is home to an Arizona teacher of the year and a national elementary school principal of the year. The district has 16 elementary schools (K-4 and K-8), four middle schools (5-8), four high schools, and an alternative program.
9. Great outdoors: White Tanks Mountain Regional Park is the largest recreational park in the country, encompassing 30,000 acres full of mountains, trails, canyons, and limitless adventure.
