A 15+ year resident, having lived all over the Valley of the Sun, nothing beats living in "The Tuke". Quick access to grocery stores, restaurants, fitness clubs, hardware, auto repair and plenty of outdoor activities. The community is close, friendly, but can be as private as you need. Home to many athletes, entertainers, and valley leaders, residents respect that this is their home too and let's them do exactly that. The streets come alive in the early morning as the "giant culd-de-sac" (a nickname by non-residents) provides bicyclist a long focused ride, both long flats and gradual hills. For those that prefer their feet over wheels, located next one of the nations largest municipal parks, South Mountain Preserve offers 40 miles of hiking trails and many neighborhoods are connected with paved walking paths. The schools rank as the highest in the state and well respected. Living anywhere else would be a compromise, but let's keep it our little secret. ;)
