Welcome to Ahwatukee Foothills, AZ

South of Phoenix lies the area known as the Ahwatukee Foothills. The Indian word, Ahwatukee, means “house of my dreams” or “magic place of my dreams.” This area borders the south eastern side of South Mountain Park and serves as a place for newly built communities. Ahwatukee also has a highly ranked public school system and is home to some of the largest employers of Arizona. This area caters to many different people, as the housing offered here ranges from apartments, town homes, patio homes, and custom-built homes. Families, retirees and nature lovers can also enjoy the many surrounding golf courses and beautiful natural scenery the foothills have to offer.
