Ahwatukee rent collection data: median gross rent
Median rent differs across the three Ahwatukee ZIP codes, so we show each ZIP code on its own rather than averaging the medians. Here is the median gross rent for each, from the 2020-2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates.
Median gross rent by Ahwatukee ZIP code, 2020-2024
$1,874 to $2,430 a month
Lowest in ZIP 85044, highest in ZIP 85045.
| ZIP code (ZCTA) | Median gross rent |
|---|---|
| ZIP 85044 | $1,874 (±$51) |

Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2020-2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates, Table B25064 (Median Gross Rent), ZCTAs 85044, 85045 and 85048, estimate B25064_001E with margins of error, read from the ACS Summary File. Median gross rent includes contract rent plus estimated utilities and fuels paid by the renter. These are the published medians for each ZCTA. We do not average them, because an average of medians is not the median for the whole area. ZIP 85045 has far fewer renter households than the other two, so its margin of error is wider.
Higher rents mean each month of rent matters more to an owner. That makes clear payment and reporting steps for your home or condo worth asking about.

Ahwatukee rent collection and Arizona rules
Arizona sets rules for notices, late fees and partial payments through the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act. Rent collection should follow the lease and those rules every time.
Arizona rentals are governed by the Arizona Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (Title 33, Arizona Revised Statutes), and property management in Arizona is licensed through the Arizona Department of Real Estate. We treat every applicant and tenant by the same standards under fair housing law.
Every rental is different, so we start with a conversation. Tell us about the home or condo, its location, the current lease and what matters most to you, and we will explain how we would approach it, which decisions stay with you and how often you would hear from us. We put the details in writing with your quote so you can compare options side by side, at your own pace. If you own more than one Ahwatukee property, mention each one in the notes field and we will respond to all of them together.
Our fee is a flat $99 a month per property, with no percentage of rent. If you want to see how that fits your numbers, the Free Rental Analysis form below is the simplest place to start, and there is no obligation.

Ahwatukee is part of the city of Phoenix: it is the Ahwatukee Foothills urban village, one of the urban villages of the City of Phoenix (City of Phoenix: Ahwatukee Foothills village), not a separate city or a Census place. The U.S. Census Bureau does not publish figures for Ahwatukee itself, so Census figures on this page are 2020-2024 American Community Survey 5-year estimates for the three ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) that cover Ahwatukee: 85044, 85045 and 85048 (about Census ZCTAs). Counts are our sums of the three ZCTAs. ZCTA boundaries approximate ZIP codes and do not exactly match the village boundary.
