In the mid-1960’s several free-thinking developers had an epiphany thinking a housing development south of the Phoenix city limits that was close to South Mountain Park might be a project worth looking into; especially if they used a colorful Indian name to attract buyers.
In the end, the epiphany worked like a charm and this beautiful housing development blossomed like poppies in a vacant field. Today Ahwatukee is surrounded by South Mountain Park, blocked to the east by Interstate 10, and to the south by the Gila River Indian Community.
And even though Ahwatukee is isolated from the hustle and bustle of a large city like Phoenix, it is now incorporated.
If you’re the outdoor type the urban-bedroom community of Ahwatukee is where you would choose to live in the Valley of the Sun; families or retirees will find it perfect for their recreational lifestyle.
