Living in Surprise, Arizona

Exploring Surprise, Arizona

Although divided into several subsectors, the Valley of the Sun is generally split into four main sections - the north, south, east, and west. 

The West Valley is generally considered any city west of I-17 and includes the growing city of Surprise, Arizona. 

Discover what living in Surprise is all about!

What to do in Surprise, Arizona

With a population of nearly 140,000, this gem of a city has so much to offer its residents. From baseball games to hiking the White Tank Mountains, Surprise has options for everyone.

The Surprise Stadium

Spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and the Texas Rangers, the Surprise Stadium was voted the number one spring training stadium in Arizona.

The stadium boasts majestic views of surrounding mountains and a 350-foot by 160-foot LED scoreboard making it one of the largest in Minor League Baseball. 

The facility opened its doors in 2002 and hosts high school and college baseball tournaments. 

This staple of the community is more than just baseball. Surprise residents gather at the stadium for the city's Fourth of July annual fireworks show, family movie nights, and music and entertainment festivals.

Surprise Stadium is a great place to catch a game, eat some food, hang out with friends and family, and watch a little baseball. 

White Tank Mountains

The 46-square miles of the White Tank Mountains are a popular Arizona hiking destination. 

Deeply ingrained with ridges and canyons that fill with water during heavy rain, these awe-inspiring mountains offer thirteen named trails for all hiking levels.

The White Tank Waterfall trail is 1.9 miles and is sufficient for all skill levels. Furry friends are allowed as long as they are on a leash. 

The paved portion of the trail allows for both runs and leisurely walks. Venture on the unpaved trail during the springtime and discover a seasonal waterfall!

Along the Waterfall Canyon Trail, you will find Petroglyphs on the rocks of the White Tank Mountains. Thousands of years ago, ancient people drew these figures and symbols - some believed to be more than 10,000 years old.

Village at Prasada

Slated to open its doors in November 2022, Surprise, Arizona's newest destination for dining, shopping, and entertainment, is Village at Prasada. 

Located in the heart of Surprise, Village at Prasada is over 700,000 square feet and will feature a "restaurant row" with eateries like OHSO Brewery & Distillery, Barrio Queen, and Cold Beer & Cheeseburgers. 

The outdoor shopping center will be home to popular stores like T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, Ross Dress for Less, Sprouts Farmers Market, and Pet Smart.

Northwest Regional Library & Community Park

Located just across the street from the ballpark, the Northwest Regional Library is no ordinary library.

This beautiful 23,000 square-foot readers' paradise offers over 60 internet-accessible computers and is home to a collection of over 40,000 items in every format. 

The library features various areas like the teen area and a cozy reading area that provides a spectacular view of the park.

The community park sits just behind the library and features a fully-stocked lake. The family-friendly park is a great place to get outside, breathe in the fresh air, shoot some hoops, and fish.

Sun Village

Sun Village is an active adult community nestled in the heart of Surprise. With over 1,000 condominiums and single-family homes, the resort-style neighborhood is home to breathtaking man-made lakes and an award-winning golf course. 

This hidden gem provides residents with a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private RV lot to house trailers, boats, and campers, and a community center that features a sewing room, a library, and a place to gather for community classes like the games & cards class.
