Ahwatukee Village Property Overview
Ahwatukee
Master planned developments, a desert setting, sprinkled with golf courses and lakes make up Ahwatukee (pronounced Ah-wah-too-key) Village. The name Ahwatukee in the Native American Crow language means House of Dreams or Magic Place of My Dreams. The name today symbolizes what Ahwatukee Village is to its residents. There are individuals who refer to the area as Ahwatukee Foothills.
Many families and commuters enjoy Ahwatukee Villages proximity to other parts of the Valley of the Sun. Being close to the East Valley and downtown Phoenix makes it easy to get around. Retirees are also drawn to the master planned communities with a selection of floor plans and prices. These communities also provide special amenities such as tennis and golf. Properties range from town houses and patio homes to custom homes, mansions, and large estates. Some master planned communities offer community centers with recreational and community activities. Surrounding these neighborhoods are retail and commercial areas, which make it convenient for residents. There is something for everyone in Ahwatukee. Ahwatukee Entertainment

Several Real Estate development companies came together in the 1970s and purchased land at the south and eastern base of South Mountain. Originally this land was owned by the Ames family. The Ames were the first settlement in the area. They built their home in Ahwatukee in the 1920s and called it Ahwatukee Ranch.
