The dream of every private pilot is being able to walk out their front door and take to the skies. For a lucky few, that dream is a reality. There are a handful of residential communities in the greater Phoenix area with homes built on a private airstrip.
I am intrigued by these airpark neighborhoods where amateur pilots can park their personal aircraft in a hangar that is attached to their house. I find it very cool that you can choose to live in a neighborhood of people who share your same passion and lifestyle centered around aviation.
Here is a quick rundown of the different communities I was able to find:

Aviation enthusiasts, this post is a gem! Thanks for putting together such a detailed rundown, Trevor. These airpark communities are such a rare and exciting blend of residential life and passion for flight. I had no idea there were this many private airstrip neighborhoods around Phoenix!
It’s amazing how places like Stellar Airpark and Pegasus Airpark create such a tight-knit pilot community, not to mention the convenience of having your plane just steps away. For anyone considering a home like this, it's worth noting that properties in these communities often retain strong value due to their niche appeal and limited availability.
Has anyone here actually lived in one of these airpark homes? I’d love to hear what day-to-day life is like in a fly-in community!
