Review of Surprise, Arizona


Population Expolsion
Star Rating - 8/12/2005
In just 3.5 years, Suprise has gone from an up and coming suburb to an overpopulated traffic jam haven. There is no logical or expediant way to travel from the west side of town to the east side of town. Commuting from Surprise to Phoenix is a nightmare. Employment in Surprise is limited to retail positions. The many grade schools being built can not keep up with the population explosion. Overall, Surpise is a dissapointing place to try and raise young children. The property value explosion has also made buing a "starter" home closer to 1/4 million dollar investment. The many new restaurants and shopping plazas do not make up for the poor city planning.
