Phoenix 85042
Life at the foot of South Mountain
The home sits in the gated Village at South Mountain, a quiet community of single-family homes built in the mid-2000s at the base of the largest municipal park in the United States. Hiking trails, mountain views, and the whole of Phoenix are minutes away.
The setting
The biggest backyard in Phoenix.
South Mountain Park and Preserve covers roughly 16,000 acres across three mountain ranges with more than 100 miles of trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. Dobbins Lookout, the highest publicly accessible point at 2,330 feet, serves up panoramic views of the whole Valley.
The community itself was built between 2005 and 2008 with quiet cul-de-sac lots, landscaped common areas, and walking paths. It is the kind of neighborhood where the trailhead is closer than the grocery store.
