The Grand Neighborhood Market Intelligence

Welcome to The Grand (Sun City Grand)

The Grand, formerly known as Sun City Grand, stands as one of Arizona's premier active adult communities in the city of Surprise, roughly 25 miles northwest of downtown Phoenix. Built by Del Webb between 1996 and 2005, this 4,000-acre master-planned community features 9,550 single-family homes and 252 condos, home to over 20,000 residents who enjoy resort-style living with stunning views of the White Tank Mountains. As the third Del Webb active adult community in the Phoenix metropolitan area, The Grand combines the legacy of Sun City excellence with more modern floor plans and amenities.

Lifestyle and Community

Life at The Grand revolves around an active, engaged lifestyle designed for residents aged 45 and older (with 85% of homeowners aged 55+). The community's age restriction creates a peaceful, like-minded environment where neighbors become friends and every day offers opportunities for recreation, learning, and socializing. Golf carts are a common sight on the streets, and residents appreciate the small-town feel within a thoughtfully designed master-planned setting.

The community attracts residents who value:

• World-class golf with four championship 18-hole courses designed by PGA Hall of Famer Billy Casper and Greg Nash
• Resort-style amenities including five swimming pools, two fitness centers, and a full-service day spa
• Over 60 chartered clubs covering interests from woodworking to modern dance to stained-glass making
• Proximity to spring training baseball at Surprise Stadium (Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers)
• Convenient access to shopping, dining, and Banner Del E Webb Medical Center just across Grand Avenue

Real Estate Market

With a median home price around $440,000 to $450,000, The Grand offers exceptional value for a newer, amenity-rich active adult community. Single-family homes range from the mid-$300,000s for smaller floor plans to over $1 million for estate homes with golf course or water views. The La Solana condo community provides lock-and-leave options starting around $235,000. All homes are single-story construction, and buyers can choose from over 50 different floor plans ranging from 1,000 to 3,500+ square feet.

The community spans two ZIP codes: 85374 (east of Loop 303, primarily original Del Webb construction) and 85387 (west of Loop 303, including later Pulte-built homes). Properties on golf courses or backing to preserves command premium prices. The annual HOA assessment of $1,921 covers access to all amenities and community maintenance.

Amenities and Recreation

The Grand's amenities rival those of high-end resorts. The two recreation centers, Adobe and Cimarron, serve as the heart of community life. Adobe features an indoor pool, indoor walking track, and a day spa. Cimarron offers popular pickleball courts, outdoor lap and leisure pools, and another day spa. Both centers include state-of-the-art fitness equipment and serve as hubs for the community's hundreds of classes and activities.

Golf enthusiasts have their choice of four exceptional courses: Cimarron, Desert Springs, Granite Falls North, and Granite Falls South, all featuring mountain views, water features, and challenging play. Beyond golf, residents enjoy tennis courts, bocce ball, softball at the Del E. Webb Memorial Ball Field, dog parks, walking trails, and the outdoor amphitheater at Sonoran Plaza for live entertainment.

Location and Convenience

The Grand's location in Surprise provides the perfect balance of peaceful retirement living with easy access to the greater Phoenix area. Loop 303 wraps around the community, connecting to Interstate 10 and Interstate 17 for trips to downtown Phoenix (about 40 minutes) or Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Within minutes, residents find Walmart, Sam's Club, Trader Joe's, and numerous restaurants. Banner Del E Webb Medical Center sits just outside the community for comprehensive healthcare needs.

Why Choose The Grand?

The Grand represents the sweet spot for active adults seeking a newer community with proven Del Webb quality. Compared to the original Sun City and Sun City West, The Grand offers more contemporary floor plans with open great rooms and modern finishes, while maintaining the same commitment to active adult lifestyle and community engagement. The 2023 rebrand to "The Grand" reflects the community's distinct identity and upscale positioning among Phoenix-area retirement destinations.

Whether drawn by championship golf, resort-style pools, the vibrant social calendar, or simply the chance to enjoy Arizona's sunshine among welcoming neighbors, The Grand delivers on the promise of an active, fulfilling retirement lifestyle in one of the Valley's most desirable locations.
