Ahwatukee is one of 15 urban villages in the Greater Phoenix Area. It was annexed in 1987 and is an upscale bedroom community ranked by Money Magazine, just behind Paradise Valley and Scottsdale as a luxury living area and as one of America's "Best Places to Live." Its population is about 85,000 neighbors, and it fosters the neighborhood feeling.
Backed into South Mountain Park along I-10, Ahwatukee resembles a nearly private community isolated from the rest of Phoenix and the rest of the Valley. With very few access points, mostly bridges across I-10, the L-shaped village sculpted into South Mountain has been called the "World's Largest Cul-de-sac."
The area has four public golf courses, several neighborhood parks and community centers, and a public swimming pool. The "Village Core," at 48th Street and Ray Road, features an active shopping district, and an active nightlife when the sun sets. Set in a valley in the foothills of South Mountain, it is one of the cooler areas during the Valley's summers, usually six or seven degrees cooler than the Valley's standard as recorded at Sky Harbor Airport.
Your Ahwatukee condominium will be in a family friendly, neighborhood oriented community with excellent schools and activities for children. Pecos Park is a favorite and a safe hangout for many teenagers. Despite it's size, "Tukee" is a neighborhood and constantly reflects the standards of a united community in single family homes or condominiums.
Despite its seeming isolation, Ahwatukee's border along I-10 provides easy access to the rest of the valley. Fifteen minutes to Chandler or Tempe, twenty to Mesa or Scottsdale and a fast thirty minutes to Downtown Phoenix makes for a relaxed condo lifestyle in a friendly community convenient to urban hustle.
Ahwatukee real estate offers an upscale, family and neighborhood-oriented environment for condominium living. Let CondoCompany.com help you explore one of America's "Best Places to Live," and find the condo you've always dreamed of. |
