A slower pace of life in Surprise
Situated roughly 25 miles from downtown Phoenix in the city of Surprise, Bell West Ranch offers a slower pace of life near parks and retail. “It’s one of the last developments before you go out in the desert,” says Russell Harris, a Realtor with RETSY who’s sold homes here since 2010. “It’s great for people who don’t want to be around so many buildings. It’s away from all that.” While it’s on the edge of the Phoenix metro area, locals here are close to plenty of shopping and dining options. “It’s off the 303 freeway, so you can get anywhere in the Valley from here,” says Jo Ann Ayres, a designated broker with Century 21 Desert Estates who’s sold homes in the area for 34 years. Nearby houses of worship include St. Clare of Assisi Roman Catholic Church and Cross Church.

Risk for termites and scorpions
According to Harris, termites and scorpions are the most common issues residents here face. “Surprise was farmland at one time, and scorpions like it when the soil is soft because they don’t have to dig so hard,” Harris says. “Scorpions are random. You can have a house that gets them, and then two houses down the street, they don’t get them.” Both scorpions and termites can be treated by an exterminator.
