Alright, I work in consulting and Household incomes average around $93,371 in Surprise. Crime rate is something to consider — Surprise sits at 97.9 per 100K. Rent is about $1,917/month for a decent place. The food scene here is surprisingly good. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The city has invested a lot in new development. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Property taxes are high but you get good services. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
