Ahwatukee and Ahwatukee Foothills Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Arizona

Ahwatukee is a beautiful community located in the Ahwatukee Foothills, featuring fantastic scenery around every turn. Although it is recognized as one of Phoenix’s urban villages, it is geographically isolated from the rest of Phoenix and is often perceived as a separate community known more for its small-town feel. Ahwatukee was recently recognized by Money Magazine as one of its Best Places to Live, and the approximately 120,000 residents are quick to agree. Real estate options consist of single-family detached homes, condominiums, townhouses as well as land lots for custom building. Bound by I-10 to the east, South Mountain to the north and the Gila Indian Reservation to the west and south, Ahwatukee continues to attract residents wishing to enjoy a quality of life that is unparalleled. The community features easy access to downtown Phoenix, which is just 15 minutes away, allowing residents an easy commute to work, for a museum visit, an evening at the symphony or to watch one of the professional sports teams play to a hometown crowd. Sky Harbor Airport is also nearby, providing easy access for anyone traveling. Ahwatukee is highly regarded for its public school districts, pre-schools and private schools around the area. All 24 schools in the Kyrene Elementary School District are viewed as the premier schools in the East Valley for academic achievement. The comprehensive curriculum of the Tempe Union High Schools provides a solid foundation for students in grades 9-12. Arizona State University is also located in nearby Tempe along with various other community colleges.
