Surprise Could Become One Of The Largest...

Housing shifts to the west along 2 critical corridors, from the Arizona Republic, reports that over the next few decades, Surprise could become one of the largest cities in the state, spreading over 300 square miles with 400,000 residents. Dozens of massive residential projects are being plotted or built along two important transportation corridors: Grand Avenue and the Sun Valley Parkway. Among them are Asante (14,000 homes) and Daimler Chrysler (21,161 homes) along Grand, and Fox Trail (3,000 homes) and Surprise Farms (2,129 homes) along Sun Valley. Guided by a new vision from city leaders, developers are creating more self-reliant communities, with their own grocery stores, restaurants, job centers, schools and parks. The city is currently annexing more than 200 square miles of land stretching out to the Maricopa county line near Wickenburg.
