What's the difference between The Grand and Sun City Grand

What's the difference between The Grand and Sun City Grand

Sun City Grand, a popular retirement community in Arizona, announced that it would change its name to The Grand in 2023. This name change is part of the community's effort to rebrand and modernize its image.

 

 

The new name reflects the community's commitment to providing a luxurious lifestyle for retirees, with amenities such as golf courses, swimming pools, and fitness centers. Sun City Grand has been a beloved home for many retirees since its establishment in 1996. With this new name change, they will continue to provide an enjoyable and comfortable living environment for their residents.

 

Multigenerational homes in Surprise AZ 

 

Sun City Grand, now known as The Grand, is an active adult retirement community in Surprise, Arizona. This newer, smaller town has all the amenities you'd expect from a larger city. You'll enjoy a thriving downtown and be close to many healthcare providers, local conveniences, and more. Whether you're a first-time retiree or you've retired many times before, this community has something for you.

 

The Grand is ideal for golfers looking for a community that focuses on the game. The community features four 18-hole championship golf courses designed by Greg Nash and Billy Casper. If golf is your game, you'll be glad to know that there are two fitness centers and five swimming pools.

 

The community is a short drive away from several healthcare providers, spas, and massage therapy offices. There's also a good variety of restaurants, pubs, and clubs. While the plethora of activities is a draw, Sun City Grand residents also enjoy the beauty of nearby nature. Families can enjoy walking trails and the shade of Elliot Ranch Community Park during the summer months.

 

Sun City Grand is a non-gated community. 85% of the 20,000-plus members of the community are older than 55. Although the community is a good fit for retired individuals, no one under 19 can live there.

10 benefits of owning a home in Surprise Arizona

 

When it comes to neighborhoods, Sun City Grand has a lot of competition. There are more than 300 homes for sale in the area, and the average home is just under 2,000 square feet. Some of the newest homes were built in the last decade, while others were built between the 1990s and the present.
