Ahwatukee, Phoenix

I really loved living in Ahwatukee, Arizona! It is a family friendly, clean neighborhood with many new homes and business. It is a really clean part of Phoenix and is considered to be one of the "better" neighborhoods.
Ahwatukee has a trendy kinda feel to it and many of the people living there are young families.
It has certainly grown in the past five years with tons of new stores and businesses. The shopping is fantastic! You really don't have to drive too far to find anything you could possibly want, from a gourmet wine shop to great chicken tacos, Ahwatukee has it all. The only downside is that it has become a bit congested and during peak times, traffic is really bad.
My neighbors were all very friendly. Some were a bit reserved but we all looked out for each other's homes, kids and pets. My house was near a busy street, so there was a bit of traffic noise but not enough to bother us.
All in all, Ahwatukee, AZ was on of my favorite places to live and I would move back there in a heartbeat!
