Back in the 1980s, I visited a home called Ahwatukee that was then valued at about 3.5 million dollars. I thought that it was represented as being designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, but I can't seem to find any reference to that in his work. The house had an automated, computer controlled environment, and visitors were greeted by one of those old computer-generated voices that sounded like HAL 9000 with half its circuit boards removed.

Ahwatukee House was designed by Robert Schiffner for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation at Taliesian West

That home is referred to as the "Back to the Future" house. It is located on (south) Equestrian Trail, off of Elliot Road, next to the Kyrene de las Lomas elementary school. I don't know if they still have tours, but I don't think anyone lives there. I remember going there for a tour 15-20 years ago as a child in elementary school. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.42.43.18 (talk) 14:20, 22 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Updated Development Information

Hi! I’m a new Wikipedia editor. I noticed this article could use more current detail on Ahwatukee’s growth and development. I plan to add a short, sourced update using reliable local and official sources. Just wanted to check for any feedback before I make the edit. Thanks!
