South Mountain, located between Downtown Phoenix and the Gila River Indian Community, is a desert-edge and mountain-framed Phoenix neighborhood with a vast trail network and wide-open Sonoran views. The neighborhood’s energy concentrates at Central Ave and Baseline Rd, where taquerias, panaderías, mercados, and small storefronts set a busy, everyday rhythm. South Mountain Park and Preserve defines the landscape with ridgelines, trailheads, and lookout drives that shape weekend routines. The Mystery Castle adds a handmade, offbeat landmark tucked into the foothills. Housing ranges from mid-century ranch homes to newer foothill builds, often oriented toward patios and mountain light. Local golf and community parks add structured green space against the desert backdrop.

Single-Family Residence District
A basic purpose of these regulations is to foster the creation of living areas which can assist the establishment of stable, functional neighborhoods. An established pattern of living in this metropolitan area reflects a tradition of single-family occupied dwellings which also emphasize outdoor living. Many of these dwellings are thereby located on relatively large urban or suburban lots.; These regulations provide standards for dwellings built at low and moderate densities. While the predominant housing type is expected to be single-family dwelling, provisions are made for alternative housing types within the same density limits.
