Ahwatukee Retirement Village sits inside the Ahwatukee Foothills master-planned area in Phoenix, Arizona, and has single-family homes and townhomes for adults aged 55 and older, all built mostly between 1974 and 1987, and you'll see most houses are single-level, lying between about 892 and 2,700 square feet, giving folks space between two and five bedrooms and one up to three-and-a-half bathrooms, many with attached one- or two-car garages, and patio homes that let residents lock up and leave with ease for trips or the summer. Some homes back up right to the golf course, so you can look out over nice green space, and others are close to local paths for walking and biking or only a short way from shopping, medical places, restaurants, and movies.
There's a total of about 1,628 homes and, as of late July 2025, twenty-four are on the market, with average home prices settling near $426,217 for all property types and listings moving in about 121 days, which means things are steady but homes do turn over regularly, and you'll also see condos averaging about $363,360, and there's always a few available, making it possible to find something that fits most budgets. Some homes need updating, but that's not uncommon for places built in earlier decades. All homes stand inside a non-gated community, so access is open.
Residents here get a pretty full set of health care services, offering help with bathing, dressing, medication management, and even transferring from bed or chair if needed, and you've got 12 to 16 hours of nursing coverage with a 24-hour call system for urgent needs, which gives families a little peace of mind. There's assisted living, memory care, respite care for temporary stays, and some skilled nursing for ongoing support, plus independent living for people who want their own place with extra help nearby.
Community life centers around the Ahwatukee Recreation Center (ARC), open since 1974 for the local retirement group, and membership gives access to things like a big outdoor pool, an indoor therapeutic pool and spa, a fitness center, and plenty of spaces for crafts, woodworking, quilting, and other hobbies including ceramics, stained glass, lapidary, and painting. ARC holds lots of classes such as yoga, Tai Chi, aqua aerobics, and Boot Camp, and there's weekly socials, card games, coffee hours, library time, regular dances, and a calendar full of special events, arts fairs, and even a resident-run theater and music program, so there's always something you can do to stay involved. There's outdoor shuffleboard, pickleball courts, bocce ball, lawn bowling, and exercise trails, plus a grand ballroom and multipurpose rooms for clubs or big gatherings.
Dining offers restaurant-style meals, with special menus for diabetes and allergies, and there's all-day and scheduled meals. Housekeeping, laundry, on-site maintenance, and move-in help are standard, and residents get Wi-Fi, cable TV, private bathrooms, and air conditioning in most places, along with on-call transportation and parking on site. The library is well-stocked and there's plenty of quiet spaces to read or enjoy company. There are also property options and activity programs designed for those who want to keep busy, meet friends, or spend quiet time at home.
Though Ahwatukee Retirement Village isn't gated or brand new, it's part of a friendly, established 55+ area with scenic mountain views, walking paths, and golf courses all nearby, and most homes offer a good amount of living space and a low-maintenance setup for folks ready to relax or travel. The whole place is dedicated to adults looking for an active lifestyle, a range of care options, and regular social events within a close-knit community.
