Living near parks, events and nightlife
Set 15 miles east of Phoenix and 3 miles west of Arizona State University, Alameda is an urban community in Tempe, Arizona. “It has kind of a downtown vibe,” says Josiah Miller, a Realtor with Josiah Miller Homes who has lived in the area for 20 years. “It’s its own little city and almost rivals Downtown Phoenix.” Residents aren’t just college-aged students; there’s also a fair number of families and working professionals who live here for its proximity to nightlife and dining on Mill Avenue, event venues on ASU’s campus and Tempe Town Lake, where concerts and annual festivals like Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade are held. “The area is changing a lot, and I think for the better,” says Miller. As new homes and businesses continue to come to Alameda, the neighborhood has become popular with investors looking to own rental properties. “If you buy a home here, it’s an investment opportunity.”

Mid-to-late-century single-family homes and modern townhomes
The average home price in Alameda is $500,000, compared to $475,000 and $400,000 in Downtown Tempe and West Tempe, respectively. “The neighborhood is completely mixed,” says Miller. “You go down one street, and you see cookie-cutter homes from 2005, and then you’ll see really old homes from 1950 on the next street.” Homes typically range between $400,000 and $800,000; common styles include mid-to-late-century ranch-style with hints of Spanish Revival architecture and townhomes painted in Earth tones from the 2010s. A typical mid-to-late-century ranch-style home with up to four bedrooms can go for anywhere between $400,000 and $600,000, depending on renovations andfeatures like pools or a large lot size. Townhomes from the 2010s start around $500,000 and may be a part of local homeowner’s associations, like those in Dorsey Lane, where locals share amenities like a community pool and grill facilities. Homes here are also popular for investors to rent out to local students at Arizona State University.

Getting around Alameda with public transportation
Alameda is about 15 miles east of Phoenix, a 20- to 40-minute drive, depending on traffic. Highway 101 runs north through Alameda’s eastern half toward Loop 202, which circles much of the Phoenix Metropolitan Area’s southeastern hubs, like Scottsdale and Mesa, 9 and 5 miles away, respectively. Locals can ride Valley Metro buses for a simple commute around town or toward Phoenix. Miller recommends Valley Metro’s rail system for transit. “The public transportation is pretty good in this area,” says Miller. “You can get around with the light rail; they keep expanding it so you can go all the way to the airport now and deeper into Phoenix.” Tempe St. Luke’s Hospital is located just above Alameda’s northwest corner and within a few miles of most residential streets. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is 6 miles west.
