There are 249 homes presently listed in Sun City Grand, none of which are presently in foreclosure. That is not the case in other communities in Surprise. There are presently 1,386 homes in Surprise (excluding Sun City Grand) presently listed for sale in MLS. I counted the short sales, REO, and foreclosures and stopped at 322. The sheer number of foreclosures has resulted with numerous homes in disarray with weeds and overgrown yards. On Surprise Pride Day, volunteers will be cleaning up the occupied and unoccupied homes that need sprucing up. The cleanup day should result in a pride of ownership and accountability for living in this fast growing west valley city. Volunteers are asked to meet at Surprise Stadium at 15960 N. Bullard Avenue on Saturday, June 21 at 6:15 am to pick up tools, bags, gloves and directions. Don't forget to bring lots of water! The Surprise clean up will end at 10am with lunch at the Surprise Stadium and a raffle. Come and join your friends and neighbors by keeping Surprise clean!

This is a great opportunity for new home buyers to get out and check out the neighborhoods and do a little service. Great post Leolinda!
Ironically the graphic says: sarvisberry *wink*
Why not be a Sarvisberry in Surprise!
Candace, Excellent idea!
Great way to help out in a small way all those foreclosures.
Kevin, it certainly will help foreclosures.
What a great idea! Many times we see these neglected properties and grumble. Why not get out there and help out instead!
Pam, I think that it may be an excellent way to expose these properties to potential buyers. It is truly a win-win project.
Leolinda...that is really great that everyone is working together to keep the area looking nice, and even helping clean up the foreclosure and bank owned homes!
Debra, It is sure nice to see the sheer numbers of volunteers take back the city.
