Colorful Tempe neighborhood on the cusp of downtown
Nestled against the Salt River in Tempe’s northeast corner, Apache is a small neighborhood with larger-than-life character. It’s anchored by a major shopping center and is just minutes away from Arizona State University and Tempe Town Lake, bringing a fun, upbeat vibe for work and play. With more than 1.3 million square feet of retail space, an emphasis on access to the arts and easy access to downtown Tempe, Apache brings a world of opportunities to your doorstep. Brendan Ross, deputy community services director for arts and culture, manages all arts programming for the city of Tempe. He says public art projects and assets like the Tempe Center for the Arts add a “touch of vibrancy to the city," for residents to discover. “We are a diverse city, and we welcome people from all over the world but also all walks of life, and we reflect that in our programming at the center,” Ross says.
Tempe Town Lake and Escalante Park offer more than recreation
Tempe Town Lake is the second most visited location in Arizona behind the Grand Canyon, welcoming more than two million visitors each year to enjoy the flurry of walking and biking paths along the shore in addition to institutions like the Tempe Center for the Arts, Town Lake Marina, volleyball courts and numerous natural habitats and is well into its second decade. According to the City of Tempe, it has created more than $2 billion in annual economic activity that supports the numerous businesses along the lakefront. More than 40 special events take place at Tempe Town Lake, including Iron Man Arizona and the Fantasy of Lights Boat Parade, building off the state-of-the-art architectural design of Tempe Center for the Arts that draws inspiration. “I think its connection to the Lake is really significant. I mean, that's part of the architecture and there's the Infinity pond there and look out and it's just a stunning view. I think it's one of the best views in the whole valley,” Ross added.
Known for its live music scene, Tempe is always welcoming artists whether it is indoors or outdoors. You’ll often see children running and playing on the jungle gym or at the community pool at Escalante Park on the eastern side of Apache. Wide open fields allow for games of soccer or football, and brightly colored murals adorn the basketball court where you can play pickup games of hoops with friends, even when the sun goes down on the lighted court.

Many homes in this area were built in the mid-20th century, and often have renovated interiors. Houses with long driveways and car parks allow space for multiple cars, and some homes even have RV space. Residents can grab a lawn chair and soak in the sun or throw some food on the grill on the weekend in their spacious grass or concrete backyards. Home prices in this area tend to be lower than the state average with prices ranging between $250,000 $500,000. Apache is also home to many apartment and condominium communities.

Most units come with modern appliances and interiors, and feature amenities including community pools and designated parking spaces. Buyers can expect to pay between $200,000 to $450,000 for a condo or townhouse. Apache is a neighborhood that is constantly changing. With the rising commercial sector and presence of ASU demand for housing continues. According to The Arizona Republic, a plan is in the works to demolish a Super 8 motel in the southwest corner of the neighborhood, making way for the construction of a new 289-unit apartment complex with a new gourmet coffee shop called Daydreamer occupying the ground floor.
