Area Guide

Bacliff Heights Bacliff, TX

South Phoenix is a sprawling desert district on the southern edge of Phoenix where wide-open skies, mountain views, and a quieter pace of life set the tone for daily living. The area sits just south of downtown Phoenix, giving residents reasonable access to the city's core while maintaining a more spread-out, residential character. Getting around requires a car, as most errands and destinations involve a drive rather than a walk, but that trade-off comes with lower density and plenty of elbow room.

As the neighborhood spans such a large area, it contains a varieyt of rentals. Renters will find high-rises closer to downtown and mid-rises in garden-style communities the less dense spots. Arizona State University's West campus is just a few miles away, and Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is roughly a 28-minute drive. South Phoenix also puts you within reach of some of the valley's best outdoor destinations, including South Mountain Park and Preserve, one of the largest municipal parks in the country.
