The southern Phoenix "urban village" of Ahwatukee Foothills as seen from on top of one of the foothills on the south side of South Mountain. This land was un-developed as a residential community twenty five years ago. The owner of much of this land had been International Harvester who operated a proving ground for their heavy equipment. Close to 85,000 people live here in the 'world's largest cul-de-sac' that is isolated from downtown Phoenix by South Mountain. This hilltop is 3.5mi from the exit off of I-10 and is halfway to the last home in the west end of the village. To the south is the Gila River Indian Community, some of which has been developed as a casino and resort.
