Many people still call it Sun City Grand (its web address is still suncitygrand.com), but the community now brands itself as The Grand. It is a large Del Webb active-adult community in Surprise with its own published age rules and fee schedule.

Quick facts

• Size: The Grand says it has 9,550 houses and 252 condos on about 4,000 acres, and that it is not a gated community.
• Age rules (as published): Primarily for occupants 55+. Up to 15% of homes may be occupied by owners aged 45–54, and no children under 19 may live in the community. Visitors are welcome.
• Annual assessment: $1,976 for July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027 per The Grand’s buyer page; it can change every July and includes up to two activity cards per household.
• Buyer fees (as published): $130 resale disclosure + $100 transfer + $170 architectural review + a one-time $5,000 CARE fee = $5,400 total.
• School district: The Grand’s FAQ says the community is in the City of Surprise and the Dysart School District for tax purposes.

Overview

The Grand describes itself as an active-adult community with fitness, golf, clubs and events. Its amenities page lists four championship golf courses (Cimarron, Desert Springs, Granite Falls North and Granite Falls South), four community pools, three hot tubs, 22 pickleball courts, 11 tennis courts, eight bocce courts, eight outdoor trails, six creative studio spaces, two dog park areas and more than 65 chartered clubs and interest groups.

Because this is age-restricted housing, the occupancy rules matter as much as the floor plan. Read the age-verification terms before you assume an adult child or roommate can live in the home.

Location and character

The Grand’s address is 19726 N Remington Drive, Surprise, AZ 85374. The community’s FAQ says residents can reach some grocery stores and businesses on Grand Avenue by golf cart via Mountain View Blvd., and that a hospital and medical offices sit just outside the community’s perimeter next to Sun City West.

Parks and amenities nearby

• Golf: Four courses with resident tee-time booking. Cimarron Golf Club is a Greg Nash design that opened in January 2003, according to The Grand.
• Fitness and recreation: Fitness centers, racquet sports, pools and spa, outdoor trails, a dog park and clubs, per the amenities page.
• Golf carts: Street-legal, insured and tagged golf carts are allowed on community streets (all 25 or 35 mph) per The Grand’s FAQ.
• Amenity use requires an activity card; hours and guest rules are set by the community.

Schools served

Children under 19 cannot live in The Grand, so school assignment is rarely a deciding factor here. The community’s FAQ says it is within the Dysart School District for tax purposes.

Commute and getting around

The Grand’s FAQ mentions Dial-a-Ride service, taxi and airport shuttle companies, and bus service between Surprise and downtown Phoenix. Service levels change; confirm details with the providers. For road conditions, use AZ511.

HOA and amenity notes

The figures in the quick facts above are what The Grand publishes for July 2026–June 2027. Maintained-property (front-yard) fees apply to some home types. Ask for the current fee schedule, governing documents and resale disclosure for the exact home.

Verify before you buy: HOA dues and special assessments, rental rules, the school boundary for the exact address, and current inventory. Ask for the resale disclosure and governing documents.
