Every home sold in ZIP code 85388 over the past year carried a Surprise address. Note that a mailing address is not the same as a city limit — check the parcel itself for jurisdiction, taxes and services.

APS. Arizona Public Service's certificated service territory covers effectively all of ZIP code 85388. Service territory follows historical boundaries rather than ZIP codes, so check the address.
Is any part of 85388 in a flood zone?
Parts of it are, which is true of most of the Phoenix valley — the desert washes that carry monsoon runoff are mapped as high-hazard even where they cross otherwise dry ground. ZIP code 85388 contains FEMA zones A, AE. That says nothing about any particular house: most homes in these ZIPs sit outside the mapped areas. A lender will require flood insurance only if the property itself is inside one, so the check that matters is on the address, not the ZIP.
What ZIP codes border 85388?
ZIP code 85388 borders 85355, 85374, and 85379.
