YOUR TRAVEL GUIDE TO SURPRISE, AZ

 

In the 1930s, a woman named Flora Mae Statler owned a patch of land which, she said, would “never amount to anything.” She even told her daughter that she would be “surprised” if it did. Fast forward to this new century and the city of Surprise, AZ has certainly debunked its own founder’s observations. REALTORS in Surprise, AZ will agree that there is much to see and do here than ever before. If ol’ Flora Mae were still alive, she would certainly have been pardon the pun surprised.
