We are on North 17th Way, an eight-house cul-de-sac at the extreme  
east end of the Sunnyslope area, two blocks short of the Phoenix  
Mountains Preserve. North of Northern, south of Mountain View, east  
of twelfth street. The area is like a wide box canyon, with mountains  
on the north, east, south, and long range views to the west of the  
White Tanks.

Any land close to a wild area has wild critters. Neighbors say there  
used to be wild pigs in the street occasionally. Coyotes are common.  
Cottontails and quail abound. Snakes and scorpions are less admired.

Google Earth says we are at:
33 degrees 34 minutes 18.44 seconds N
112 degrees 02 minutes 40.53 seconds W
Elevation 1,404 feet, which provides panoramic sunsets followed by  
city lights

A great place to live if one prefers to live in a city.

It's for sale.
