South Mountain, also called South Mountain Village, is a sought-after Phoenix locale just five miles south of Downtown Phoenix. South Mountain offers residents a convenient yet quiet suburban atmosphere while still being close to all the amenities of the big city. Outdoor lovers will appreciate the area’s proximity to the South Mountain Park and Preserve. The area is also close to the Salt River where residents can tube, fish, and swim to beat the Phoenix heat. Getting around from South Mountain is simple with access to Interstate 10, 17, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and there are plenty of amenity-laden apartments and contemporary homes that will fit any budget and style.
