This Phoenix Home Is Back—And This Might Be the Opportunity You Thought You Missed

by Tara Keator

Some homes come and go without much fanfare.

Then there are the ones buyers keep thinking about long after they're gone.

8618 S 22nd Street in Phoenix is back on the market, and if you had your eye on it before, this is your chance to take another look. Even better? It's now priced to sell at $549,999, making it one of the most compelling values you'll find in this part of South Phoenix.

If you've been searching for a home that gives you room to live, work, entertain, and enjoy the outdoors without sacrificing convenience, this one checks a lot of boxes.

Why Buyers Keep Coming Back to This Home

Location matters, but so does how a home makes you feel.

From the moment you walk in, you'll notice this isn't one of those homes where every room feels the same. It offers both a formal living room and a separate family room, giving everyone their own space whether you're hosting friends, relaxing after work, or enjoying family movie nights.

Need a home office? It's already here.

Love books? Built-in bookcases add both character and functionality.

Need flexibility? The oversized bonus room easily becomes a fourth bedroom, media room, playroom, workout space, or whatever fits your lifestyle.

This is the kind of floor plan that adapts with you.

Wake Up to Mountain Views

One of my favorite features?

The location.

This home sits just about half a mile from both Mormon Trailhead and Geronimo Trailhead, meaning hiking, trail running, and sunset walks can become part of your everyday routine instead of something you plan once a month.

Even better, you get mountain views from both the front and backyard, creating a peaceful backdrop that's surprisingly hard to find this close to the city.

The primary suite even opens directly onto the covered patio—perfect for slow mornings with coffee or quiet Arizona evenings.

Fresh, Move-In Ready, and Ready for Its Next Chapter

The exterior has just been freshly painted, giving the home crisp curb appeal before you even walk through the front door.

Inside, thoughtful details make everyday life easier, including a Jack-and-Jill bathroom connecting two secondary bedrooms and spaces designed for both entertaining and everyday living.

Nothing feels wasted.

Everything feels intentional.

Close to Everything That Matters

One of the biggest advantages of this location is how connected it is.

You'll be just minutes from Downtown Phoenix, Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, major freeways, shopping, restaurants, and everything the city has to offer—while still enjoying easy access to South Mountain's incredible outdoor recreation.

It's a combination that's becoming harder and harder to find.

Don't Assume Someone Else Will NOT Grab It

Homes come back on the market for all kinds of reasons, and sometimes they create the best opportunities for buyers who are paying attention.

If you thought you missed this one the first time around, you haven't.

With its updated price, flexible floor plan, incredible location near South Mountain, and value that's becoming harder to find in Phoenix, 8618 S 22nd Street deserves another look.

I'd be happy to walk through it with you, answer your questions, and help you decide if it's the right fit. Sometimes the home you thought was gone ends up being the one that was waiting for you.
