About Ahwatukee Foothills
What are the main landmarks in Ahwatukee Foothills?
No landmark list attaches to it. What the record credits Ahwatukee Foothills with is its own extent, thirty-five square kilometres of Phoenix laid out at the southern end of the city, rather than a museum, a monument or a ballpark a visitor could name. Arizona keeps its draws elsewhere.
The East Valley and central Phoenix carry the addresses that itineraries actually list.
What is the history of Ahwatukee Foothills?
The register skips Ahwatukee's founding.

Arizona's capital carries those dates, along with the American Southwest history that put a city on this ground.
