There are 5,073 homes within the planned community of Ahwatukee, governed by the Ahwatukee Board of Management.

A subdivision is the act of dividing land into pieces that are easier to sell or otherwise develop, usually via a plat.  A subdivision is also known as a “phase” or “phasing” within a master plat and may include a single-phase or, in the case of a master-planned community, many phases.  Typically, developers open subdivisions incrementally within communities as infrastructure is built in conjunction with demand.  Ahwatukee has 56 subdivisions within our master-planned community.  In large-scale communities, subdivisions can vary and include varying architecture, price points, amenities (such as equestrian, agritopia, lakes, mountainside or view lots, etc.). 

A sub-association indicates additional services or amenities are present that require an additional assessment. Townhomes and duplexes, custom home areas and “themed” communities require a sub-association, including separate governance and management, to maintain exterior paint, roofs, mailboxes, landscape, clubhouses, common areas, pools or other amenities.

With the transition complete, the Board meets regularly to make business decisions on matters that affect any large corporation.

Our Community Center, private community park, RV Storage Park, swimming pool, tennis courts, community garden, and basketball courts also require full-time attention and business decisions. The ABM office and management staff oversee all amenities as well as processing all home sales transactions, performing CC&R enforcement, accounting, and legal matters.
