What do you think of growth?
Just curious what many of you feel about how much Surprise has grown. Do you like it, dislike it? — Laura Mesa
Growing smart?
It’s a growing city for sure. I feel they focus a bit much on constant new housing, retirement areas and fast food joints for sure. — Dustyn Trueblood
I got a great deal on a new house in 1999 and am happy with the growth. I just wish there were more professional jobs out this way. It is very affordable to me and will probably get double for what I paid for it when I decide to retire in about 12 years. — Mary Small
Moved here in 2011 and the growth that has been happening in the last couple of years is not the direction I thought the city had planned. I envisioned Prasada being built out by now, an entertainment district, better public schools, and less assisted living and retirement facilities going in. Other cities in the Valley have done a much better job with their growth since the recession and housing crisis. — Jonathan McCranie
