Ahwatukee or "House of Dreams" is a wonderful community, and I'm proud to call it home. Because Ahwatukee is geographically separated from downtown, it is often thought to be its own city. In fact, Ahwatukee Foothills is one of 13 villages designated by the City of Phoenix.

Ahwatukee's ideal location makes for an easy commute to downtown and Sky Harbor Airport is a short drive for those who need quick access to travel. Our community is highly regarded for its public school districts, pre-schools and private schools. All 24 schools in the Kyrene Elementary School district are viewed as the premier schools in the East Valley for academic achievement.

Mountain views and the Arizona sunshine create a fabulous backdrop for recreational activities. South Mountain Park is the largest city owned park in the nation, and as an Ahwatukee resident it's literally part of your backyard. It offers miles of trails for hiking, cycling and horseback riding not to mention its twinkling towers that have become synonomous with Ahwatukee. I've become so attached to our towers they're now a permanent part of my logo.

Ahwatukee is an exceptional community and the secret is out. If you're looking to relocate here or ready for a move to Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe, Scottsdale, Phoenix or anywhere in the Southeast Valley of Arizona, give me a call or email me at jbittner@pruamerican.com Whether you're planning to buy or sell, together we'll plan your next steps to achieve your real estate dreams.
