In a rapidly growing community like Surprise, the demand for high-quality rental housing tailored to the needs of active adults is on the rise. Recognizing this, Greystar Property Management has broken ground on Album Surprise, a new 55+ active adult community slated to open in April 2026 and designed to provide modern living spaces, elevated amenities, and a strong sense of connection for its residents.
The 4.1-acre community will feature 161 spacious one- and two-bedroom apartment homes, with floor plans up to 1,325 square feet. Each unit is designed with sleek, contemporary finishes, including quartz countertops, full tile backsplashes, glass showers, and convenient front-load washers and dryers. Select apartments will offer views of the resort-style pool or the nearby Surprise Stadium.
One of Album Surprise’s hallmarks is its focus on fostering community connections. The development is designed to offer residents ample opportunities to socialize, stay active, and engage in meaningful activities.
The clubhouse will include a pub, a game and sports lounge with large-screen TVs, and an inviting great room. Residents can also take advantage of a fully equipped fitness center, a craft room, and a yoga studio that opens out onto an outdoor lawn. The community will feature a resort-style pool, a heated spa, cabanas, a BBQ area, and an outdoor fire pit. A dedicated pet exercise path will ensure that furry friends have their own space.
Album Surprise is a short distance from Surprise City Center, which includes a park, lake, tennis and pickleball courts, an aquatic center, and the Ottawa University campus. Residents will have convenient access to shopping centers like Home Depot, Target, and Costco and dining options such as Cooper’s Hawk Winery, Barrio Queen, and Lou Malnati’s Pizzeria.
Billy Cundiff, Greystar’s Managing Director for Development, emphasized that Album Surprise is designed to meet the needs of active adults who want more than a place to live.
“We created Album Surprise so active adults can live a unique, connected, and expressive life here in the growing Surprise community,” Cundiff said. “Residents will find a home alongside some of the area’s most convenient amenities and exciting entertainment attractions, making it the ideal location for easy living.”
The first apartment homes at Album Surprise are now available for reservation. The community is scheduled to open in April 2026. For more information, visit albumlife.com.
