Located at 4140 W McDowell Rd in Phoenix, Arizona, this single-floor unit offers a straightforward and functional layout designed for comfortable everyday living. The main living area immediately impresses with its vaulted ceilings that rise dramatically, creating a sense of openness and volume.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
