Active adult living in the West Valley

Roughly 25 miles from Phoenix in the West Valley, The Grand is an age-restricted master-planned community for residents aged 55 and older. Adults have plenty of options for staying busy and active here, with four popular golf courses spread throughout the community, and with two recreation centers featuring an array of indoor and outdoor activities. “It’s in a nice location, and you’ve got all sorts of things to do socially both in The Grand and right outside of it,” says Phoenix metro area resident Melissa Twitchell, a Realtor with eXp Realty. “The city of Surprise is right next door, so you kind of have the best of both worlds, especially during baseball spring training.” After a recent name change and rebrand from “Sun City Grand,” The Grand is looking to set itself apart from fellow communities under the umbrella of active adult community developer Del Webb, including the original Sun City and Sun City West.

Two recreation centers and four golf courses

Between the community’s two recreation centers, Cimmaron and Adobe, residents can find tennis, pickleball and bocce ball courts, fitness equipment, indoor and outdoor walking tracks and more. The Adobe Center has both indoor and outdoor pools, while the Cimmaron Center's one pool is outdoors. Golfers never have to worry about missing a tee time at The Grand, with four community courses to choose from, including the Granite Falls Golf Club’s two 18-hole courses and Desert Springs with its scenic White Tank Mountain views.

A later addition to the Sun City lineup

Homes in The Grand are almost exclusively single-story, single-family detached houses that were built between the late 1990s and early 2000s and feature Spanish-style details like earth-toned stucco exteriors and red clay-tile roofs. Modest versions of these homes start at around $315,000, while larger luxury properties set on the golf courses can go for up to $1 million. Some apartment-style condominiums from the same era can be found in a small section of the community called LaSolana, and are generally less than $250,000. Sidewalks line residential streets, and lots are neatly landscaped with rocks and desert plantings.

Ample shopping and dining along Bell Road and Grand Avenue

Shopping and dining options can be found within the community, both along Bell Road to the south and Grand Avenue to the east. Grocery stores include Trader Joe’s, Fry’s or Albertson’s, and big-box retail includes Target, Kohl’s and Best Buy. Residents can dine at local spots like Bonfire Craft Kitchen and Tap House for wood-fired pizza, barbeque and craft brews, and Oregano’s for classic Italian pasta, but there are also popular chains like Olive Garden and Red Lobster.

Social club activities and spring training keep residents busy

There are dozens of clubs for all interests here, from modern dance to stained-glass making. Throughout the year, residents can enjoy regular live performances from tribute bands, dance groups and comedy acts at Sonoran Plaza, and in February and March, they can head to Surprise Stadium just south to catch a spring training game with the Kansas City Royals or Texas Rangers.

Access to Phoenix via State Route 303

While many people can be seen driving cars around here, most residents get around the community in golf carts, which are allowed on all the streets. Loop 303 wraps around the community to the north and east, leading to Interstate 10 and Interstate 17. Residents can get emergency and specialized medical care right across Grand Avenue at Banner Del E Webb Medical Center, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is roughly 40 miles southeast.
