Why buyers choose The Grand active adult community
The Grand was Del Webb’s third active adult community in the Northwest Valley. Today, it blends golf, fitness, clubs, and dining in one place. So here is what pulls buyers to The Grand homes for sale.
Single-level living. In fact, every home is one level — no stairs to manage. Resort amenities. There are also three activity centers, multiple pools, and four golf courses. Real variety. For example, you’ll find compact condos to large Estate homes, so most budgets fit. Lock-and-leave ease. As a result, it’s great for snowbirds who split the year. Strong resale market. Plus, it’s a known name that buyers search for by community.
Where The Grand sits — and getting around
Geographically, The Grand sits in Surprise, a fast-growing West Valley city. As a result, you are close to shops, health care, and spring-training baseball. Meanwhile, open desert and day trips are a short drive away.
| Destination | Approx. drive time |
|---|---|
| Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport | about 40 minutes |
| Downtown Phoenix | about 45 minutes |
| Surprise Stadium (spring training) | about 10 minutes |
| Everyday shopping & dining | Minutes away |
Some errands don’t even take you outside the community. Right in the middle of the community you’ll find a Chase and a Wells Fargo bank, plus a CVS pharmacy on site — handy for everyday banking and prescriptions. Also, just beyond the community, there are grocery stores and Banner Health offices close by. For day trips, buyers also love White Tank Mountain Regional Park. Then, when summer heat sets in, it is an easy drive to Sedona, Prescott, and the cool high country.
Age requirements at The Grand
This is one of the top buyer questions, so let’s make it clear. The Grand is a 45+ community. It is intended for people 55 and older. So here is how the rules work.
In other words, the community is designed for residents 55 and older. Still, people aged 45–54 may live here without a 55+ occupant, as long as at least 85% of occupied homes have one resident who is 55 or older. However, no one under 19 may stay overnight for more than 90 days per year. In addition, a “Qualified Occupant” is anyone 45+, or someone 19+ living with a 45+ resident.
Of course, these rules follow federal housing-for-older-persons law and the community’s recorded CC&Rs. That’s why you should always confirm current age rules with the Association before you buy.
The Grand Homes for Sale & Floor Plans
The Grand is a resale community. Del Webb finished building here, so The Grand homes for sale are all existing homes. Over the years, Del Webb also built a wide range of floor plans. They span four single-family series, plus garden villas and a condo neighborhood — so there’s a lot of variety to choose from. Plus, every single-family home is single-level with a two-car garage.
Single-family & villa series
| Series | Style | Beds | Approx. homesite |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classics | Single-family | 2–3 | ~60′ × 110′ |
| Garden Villas | Patio homes | 2 | ~45′ × 110′ |
| Premiers | Single-family | 2–3 | ~70′ × 110′ |
| Estates | Larger single-family | 3 | ~90′ × 110′ |
Of course, square footages and homesites vary by model and updates, so check each listing for exact figures. For example, popular models include the Willow, Kiva, and Acacia (Classics), and the Saguaro, Cordova, and Mesquite (Estates). For the full lineup, also see our The Grand floor plans page.
LaSolana Condominiums
Prefer a lock-and-leave condo? For example, LaSolana is a condo neighborhood inside The Grand. It also has its own heated pool, clubhouse, and elevators. Inside, floor plans run from a small 427 sq ft one-bedroom to a 1,021 sq ft two-bedroom. Better yet, LaSolana owners get resident golf rates on all four courses.

Just tell us what matters most — floor plan, golf view, budget, or a certain neighborhood — and we’ll reach out the moment a match hits the market, often before it lands on the big sites.
The Grand HOA fees & what they cover (2026)
The Sun City Grand Community Association runs The Grand. In return, your fees pay for the fitness centers, pools, clubs, and common areas. Below are the current figures.
| Fee | 2026 amount |
|---|---|
| Annual HOA fee | $1,921 |
| Capital improvement fee (one-time, at purchase) | $5,400 |
| Resale transfer fee | $100 |
| Architectural fee | $170 |
| Resale disclosure fee (seller) | $130 |
| Secondary annual fee (some areas only) | $660 |
Good to know: Some neighborhoods add a secondary annual fee (about $660). In most cases, it pays for outside upkeep, like front-yard landscaping or paint. However, it does not apply to every home, so we always check the fee for the exact property. Also, the one-time capital improvement fee is due at closing.
The Grand amenities & daily life
This is where the community shines, and it’s a big reason The Grand homes for sale move. First, three activity centers anchor the social life, each with its own personality.
Three activity centers
| Center | Highlights |
|---|---|
| Village Center | Main hub — Adobe Fitness Center with walking track, Grand Café, amphitheater, and Desert Springs golf on site |
| Cimarron Center | Fitness with sauna and Cimarron golf on site |
| Palm Center | Association administration offices |
Recreation & sports
Of course, there is more than fitness and pools. Residents also enjoy bocce, lawn bowling, horseshoes, softball, table tennis, a masters swim team, and a dog park. On top of that, two fitness centers run daily classes — yoga, Pilates, aqua, Zumba, and strength — most just a few dollars to drop in.
🏓 Pickleball is huge here
The Grand has 20 pickleball courts and one of the most active clubs around. In fact, for many buyers, it’s the deciding factor. To learn more, visit the Grand Pickleball Club.
Two more favorites are also worth a look: the Grand Tennis Club runs organized play, ball machines, and West Valley matches, and the Grand Woodcrafters Club offers a state-of-the-art woodshop for everything from small projects to fine furniture.
Clubs & social life
Above all, the club scene is a big reason people love it here. There are dozens of resident-run clubs, so it is easy to find your people:
Arts & hobbies: clay, glass, garden, photography, music, quilting, and more. Cards & games: bridge, canasta, mah jongg, pinochle, poker, euchre, and dominoes. Sports & outdoors: golf leagues, hiking, RV trips, off-road 4-wheelers, and a car club. Home-state & heritage groups: Canadian, Washington, Wisconsin, and more — great for new neighbors. Support groups: caregiver, cancer, and Parkinson’s groups meet on site.
Plus, a “Live Grand” resident app and online portal keep events, sign-ups, and news in one place.
Dining on site
Also, you don’t have to leave the community for a good meal. The Grand has on-site spots like the Grand Café and NW Coffee, plus restaurants such as Angela’s Kitchen and Maple & Rye. Finally, an amphitheater and concert series round out the calendar.
Peace of mind for snowbirds
Heading north for the summer? The Grand’s resident patrol (C.H.A.P.S.) offers a complimentary Vacation Watch — volunteers check on your home while you’re away, plus evening patrols year-round. That’s a big reason lock-and-leave buyers feel safe here.
Golf at The Grand
Golf is a big draw, too. The Grand has four Billy Casper and Greg Nash signature championship courses — all 18 holes and open to the public. Better yet, cardholders play at lower resident rates, and you book tee times through the community’s system. So here’s a quick look at each.
| Course | Approx. yards | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Desert Springs | ~7,006 | The longest of the four (par 72), opened in 1996 at the Village Center. In fact, it’s a real test from the back tees, with water in play on several holes. |
| Cimarron | ~6,809 | The newest course, opened in 2003 at the Cimarron Center. It’s also a Greg Nash layout with generous, forgiving fairways — a favorite for an enjoyable round. |
| Granite Falls North | ~6,720 | Opened in 1999 and widely considered the most challenging of the four, with tighter lines and well-guarded greens. |
| Granite Falls South | ~6,839 | Opened in 1997, part of the 36-hole Granite Falls complex. Still, it has a more open, Midwestern feel while still set in the Sonoran Desert. |
Homes that back to a fairway are among the most wanted here, so browse the current golf course homes for sale, or see our full guide to golf at The Grand.
The Grand rules worth knowing
After all, shared rules protect home values and the lifestyle. So here are the ones buyers ask about most.

Rules are summarized here for convenience and can change. Still, confirm current CC&Rs and Rules & Regulations with the Association before buying.
Is The Grand right for you?
Let’s be straight — no community is perfect for everyone, after all. Instead, here’s an honest look at The Grand homes for sale and life here, so you can decide with clear eyes.
A great fit if you…
Want easy, single-level living with low upkeep. Also love an active, social life — golf, pickleball, clubs, and events. You’d like the freedom to lock up and travel for the summer. Also value a settled, well-run community with lots of home choices.
Worth knowing before you buy…
Every home is a resale — there is no new construction here. Summers are hot. That’s why many residents head north from June to September. Also, you’re about 40 minutes from central Phoenix and the airport. It’s an HOA. So exterior changes need approval, and a few areas carry a second fee. Finally, at least one resident must meet the 45+ age rule.
If that second list gives you pause, let’s talk it through. After all, sometimes a nearby community is a better match — and we’d rather point you to the right home than the nearest one.
The 63 neighborhoods
The Grand has 63 named neighborhoods. For instance, they range from garden-villa enclaves to Estate streets and the LaSolana condos. Also, a few add their own fees for extra services. In fact, the neighborhood matters as much as the floor plan. After all, it shapes your fees, your yard upkeep, and how close you are to the amenities you use most. That is why a local specialist pays off.
Comparing nearby communities?
Still, The Grand is one of several great 55+ communities in the West Valley. So if you’re weighing your options, here are a few worth a look:
Sun City West — a larger Del Webb community nearby, with nine golf courses and amenities second to none. Then there’s Sun City — Del Webb’s original, and the most affordable of the Sun Cities. Sun City Festival — the newest Sun City, in Buckeye, with newer homes and open-desert views. Arizona Traditions — a smaller, more affordable 55+ community in Surprise with its own golf course. Or see all three Del Webb Sun Cities compared in The Grand vs. Sun City West vs. Sun City.

Is The Grand the same as Sun City Grand?
Yes. In fact, the community was originally named Sun City Grand and is now marketed as The Grand. As a result, you’ll see both names in listings and signage. We explain the change in Sun City Grand vs. The Grand.
Do I have to be 55 to buy here?
It’s a 45+ community. However, it’s built for those 55 and older. Also, buyers 45–54 can live here under the 85% rule. However, no one under 19 may live here full-time. Confirm the current rules with the Association, and see our full guide to The Grand’s age rules.

First, your annual fee funds the fitness centers, pools, clubs, and common areas. However, some neighborhoods add a secondary fee for exterior maintenance. See the fee table above.

Yes, with a 30-day minimum lease. However, short-term stays are not allowed, and at least one tenant must be 45+.

Ready to explore The Grand?
The Grand offers one of the widest ranges of homes and prices in the West Valley’s 55+ market. So, want a golf-course home, a right-sized villa, or a lock-and-leave condo? There is a fit among The Grand homes for sale. Plus, a local specialist in your corner makes the search simple.
Thinking of selling in The Grand?
Selling here is its own skill. In fact, I do it for a living. The Grand is a big, active resale market with a lot of comparable homes — so pricing and presentation decide whether yours sells first or sits. I know the floor plans, the golf and water-view premiums, and exactly what today’s buyers ask for.
Plus, most of those buyers are from out of state — the data on my own site shows roughly two-thirds of buyer traffic comes from outside Arizona. That’s why I market your home where those relocating buyers actually look, with the photos, video, and honest local detail that make someone in Minnesota or Ohio choose your home to fly in and see.
Also, I’ll handle the HOA disclosure and the buyer’s fees so nothing derails your close. Even if you’re a year out, let’s talk now and time it right — call or text (480) 710-6326.
