Welcome to Ahwatukee Foothills, one of the 15 villages designated
by the City of Phoenix. The people who live, work and play in this
thriving community share the intimacy of small town living, while
enjoying the plentiful amenities of a bustling metropolis close at
hand. Because Ahwatukee is nestled so closely to the surrounding mountains,
it gives the feel of an independent city. The village is bound by
I-10 to the east along with the cities of Chandler and Tempe. To the
north is South Mountain and the Gila River Indian Reservation is to
the west and south. (Courtesy
