Midcentury homes near Arizona State University
Situated less than a mile from Arizona State University, Clark Park is a walkable enclave of midcentury homes amid lush landscaping. In the neighborhood's north, the Campus Homes are a collection of 1950s ranch-style homes built by famed area developer Del Webb. Throughout Clark Park, access to flood irrigation allows for more greenery and mature trees than in other areas of Phoenix. “ASU students are probably your main neighbors,” says Tyler Estes, a Realtor with Compass Arizona who’s sold homes in the area for 13 years. “That gives it a bit more of a younger vibe that adds a vibrancy to the neighborhood. You also have families who’ve lived here for years and years.” ASU is one of Tempe’s largest employers and is known for its wide range of programs and research facilities.
Ranch homes in Clark Park have sizable back yards that families will enjoy.

There are also retailers like Urban Outfitters and The Plant Mill, a locally owned indoor plant nursery that also sells gardening gear and nature-themed books.

Clark Park’s new pool and community center
The 10-acre Clark Park, the neighborhood’s namesake, is just across Roosevelt Road. The park has a playground and baseball field, but its most popular hangout is the pool, renovated and reopened in 2024 with a 17-foot water slide. The Clark Park Community Center, which also reopened in 2024, offers fitness and arts classes for all ages. At the Clark Park Community Garden, gardeners can rent a raised bed and put their green thumbs to work. Nearby, the 25-acre Tempe Beach Park provides access to Tempe Town Lake, a dammed portion of the Salt River where locals can kayak or paddleboard. Just across the lake, the nearly 1,500-acre Papago Park is home to hiking trails, the Phoenix Zoo and the Desert Botanical Garden.

Del Webb-designed midcentury homes
Clark Park’s midcentury ranch-style homes sit along shaded, sidewalk-less streets amid grassy lawns and mature trees. “The lot size and distance between homes give homeowners the flexibility to add square footage,” says Katie Walsh, a Realtor with Keller Williams East Valley who’s sold homes here for 19 years. “And without a homeowners association, they can paint it purple if they want to.” Homes typically have an attached one-car garage or carport, and many are painted in bright colors and shaded by lush trees. North of 17th Street, the Campus Homes are a collection of 1950s ranch-style homes built by famed area real estate developer Del Webb, characterized by a nine-paned floor-to-ceiling window by the front door.
Most of the neighborhood's midcentury ranch-style homes range from 900 to 2,200 square feet, and depending on a home's size, prices range from $340,000 to $650,000. Many of the homes here are available to rent.

Fragile Orangeburg pipes are common
“The majority of these homes have sewer lines that are made of Orangeburg, which over the years has turned into more of a paper-like substance that roots from trees are able to easily penetrate,” Walsh says. “It’s not an if, it’s a when that line will collapse.” She recommends homebuyers here get a sewer scope during the home inspection to ensure the pipes are in good shape.
