Why Live in Tempe?

Tempe, Arizona is one of the most dynamic and centrally located cities in the Phoenix metro, known for its urban energy, walkability, and strong rental demand. As of mid-2025, median home prices typically range from the low-to-mid $500,000s, depending on neighborhood and property type.

Tempe offers a diverse housing mix including single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and high-density urban living, particularly near Arizona State University (ASU) and Downtown Tempe. Buyers are drawn to Tempe for its central location, lifestyle amenities, and long-term demand driven by education and employment.

Economy, Education & Employment

Tempe is anchored by Arizona State University, one of the largest public universities in the country, which fuels a robust local economy and consistent housing demand. The city is also home to a growing tech and innovation corridor, with major employers in education, research, finance, and technology.

Its proximity to employment hubs in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Chandler, and Mesa makes Tempe especially attractive to professionals seeking shorter commutes and urban convenience.

Lifestyle, Culture & Outdoor Living

Tempe blends college-town vibrancy with metropolitan amenities. Residents enjoy a highly active lifestyle supported by recreation, arts, and entertainment.

Highlights include:

· Tempe Town Lake for kayaking, paddleboarding, and running paths

· A lively Mill Avenue District with dining, nightlife, and events

· Arts, music festivals, and cultural programming year-round

· Easy access to hiking at Papago Park and surrounding desert areas

Tempe appeals to those who value walkability, community events, and an energetic atmosphere.

"Nancy recently helped me buy a home in Mesa, AZ. She has a good eye for catching things that a buyer might not notice. Her skill and experience at negotiation can make a deal that might otherwise be out of reach. Nancy goes the extra mile, getting answers to complicated questions and making sure that both sides feel good about a transaction. "
