Ahwatukee is a community that has capitalized on its scenic landscape. The neighborhood streets wind up and down the natural slopes of the foothills of South Mountain. The community has used low sodium street lights which adds to the community's ambiance in the evening. Ahwatukee is aptly referred to as the world's largest cul-de-sac because  it is surrounded completely by South Mountain, the Gila Indian Reservation and the I-10 interstate, making it landlocked, yet accessible to every place and everything residents could desire.

Being nestled at the base of South Mountain Park, the largest municipal park in the US at over 16,281 acres, there are miles and miles of hiking trails that make hiking one of the most popular outdoor recreational activities in the area. Ahwatukee also has several municipal golf courses for the golf enthusiast, with many other world class golf courses nearby that offer a variety for golfers of any age and ability.
