Sterling Grove Homes & Community Guide — Surprise, AZ
Sterling Grove is a Toll Brothers all-ages master-planned community in Surprise, built around a Troon-managed golf and country club. It spans 780 acres west of Loop 303 — formerly a working farm, in the shadow of the White Tank Mountains — is staff-gated, and is planned for roughly 2,200 homes. It brings together all-ages single-family homes, condos, lock-and-leave villas, and 55+ active-adult neighborhoods, all sharing the same clubhouse and amenities.

What does it cost to own in Sterling Grove?
Owning in Sterling Grove combines two recurring costs: the master-plan HOA dues, and a membership in the Troon-managed Sterling Grove Golf & Country Club. Both vary by collection — condos, villas, single-family, and estate homes don’t all carry the same dues, and club membership tiers differ. New construction may also carry one-time fees at closing. Because the all-in number depends on the collection and the membership tier, we’ll pull the current HOA dues, club membership options, and any one-time fees for a specific home — or you can confirm with the HOA and the club. Confirm all amounts in escrow.
