Sun City Grand is the third Del Webb active adult community at Surprise in the northwest valley of the Greater Phoenix Real Estate area. With its prestigious adult lifestyle, this master planned Del Webb community became their Crown Jewel. Located in the northwest Phoenix valley it began construction in 1996 and completed build out in 2005.

After the completion of the popular Sun City West community in 1996, Del Webb Corporation began construction of Sun City Grand. Like the previous Sun City and Sun City West, Sun City Grand was designed around the notion that active adults should be able to live in an entirely self-contained community with access to nearly every imaginable amenity.

Sun City Grand is an age restricted community that allows residents as young as 45 years of age with no permanent resident under the age of 19 years old. 15% of the residents can be  between 45 to 54 years old. Rental is allowed in Sun City Grand and renters must be at least 55 years of age.

Many retirees are lured to Sun City Grand by more newly constructed homes that offer modern floor plans and finishes favored by today’s active adults. Some of the homeowners in Sun City Grand are previous residents of the other Sun City communities who moved to Sun City Grand to escape the older, more congested areas of Sun City and Sun City West.
