Welcome to Surprise, Arizona! A great place for families and retirees!
We are Jerry and Joy Pickles, a husband and wife team of REALTORS with Windermere Real Estate. We work in the West Valley area of Phoenix in one of the the valley's fastest growing communities - Surprise and the Sun Cities. The growth is no "surprise" to us with our welcoming neighbors, lower cost of living and housing, lots of sunshine, outdoor activities including many terrific golf courses, and some of the best medical care facilities in the country.
We are pleased to live and work in this area - there is so much to do! There are many new restaurants, businesses and shopping centers opening almost weekly. For the sports enthusiast, there are several Spring training camps in the surrounding communities. The City of Surprise hosts Spring Training camps for the Texas Rangers and the Kansas City Royals with a terrific stadium complex and practice fields voted one of the best! The facility is also multi-purpose and used for community events held throughout the year. The nearby City of Glendale has built an incredible arena offering many concerts and sports venues throughout the year, and has built the new University of Phoenix Cardinals Football stadium which housed the 2008 Super Bowl. For those that appreciate the arts, there are many theatres and symphony centers in the Phoenix area offering a wide variety of top artists, plays and musicals. The Maricopa County Events Center also called the Sun Dome in neighboring Sun City West has many artist performances and theatre productions throughout the year.
Located in the City of Surprise are three active adult communities: Arizona Traditions, Sun City Grand and Sun Village. Our nearby communities of Sun City and Sun City West also offer great home buying opportunities for active adults... and many challenging courses for the golfer!
Also, there are many wonderful master planned family communities in our local area. Some of the newest and fastest growing, Marley Park, and Greer Ranch offer very unique, family-based communities with centers and parks... An old-fashioned community feel with several wonderful builders offering everything from condos to one- and two-story homes - there's something for everyone!
Arizona is the land of the sunshine. If you're looking to move to a wonderful family community, retire or just interested to see what the area offers, plan to visit Arizona!
