Thinking of relocating to Surprise Arizona - anyone living in that area have any feedback to offer?
We are a family of 4 (1 college student, 1 high schooler and my husband and myself) from Massachusetts.
We are tired of the rudeness, high cost of living, and SNOW. We are looking to relocate to Surprise Arizona....we would love feedback from anyone in this area or has been there?  |

Hi. I've been living in Surprise since 1998. Overall, my family and I enjoy living in Surprise...
Some growth pains (like adjusting to increased traffic) but the area is destined to be a premier area to live in the valley!
Surprise has a mix of family-oriented and retirement communities within, along with bordering mountains to the West, farmland to the South-Southwest, and the twin Sun Cities (retirement communities) on the Northeastern limits!

Three High Schools. Valley Vista, Dysart, and Willow Canyon. Valley Vista is the newest and I have heard some good things. Willow Canyon has a international baccalaureate program.

I have lived hear 9 years now. It is a nice area. The biggest pain is the traffic congestion. Arizona did not prepare for the boom of Surprise and have mainly one rd to travel east. It is a major headache. There is no good transit system if you need it.

Relocating from NE
It has been approximately one year since I relocated from the Northeast, so I know exactly how you feel! We currently live in just north of Surprise and have a Peoria, AZ mailing address. We love the NorthWest valley! There are so many wonderful communities to live in. We currently live in the Liberty High School district--it is an incredible school. It is brand-new to the Peoria Unified School district.
If you need any additional information or help in your relocation please let me know. I would love to help you.
