A walkable neighborhood without the noisy nightlife
Situated about a mile from both downtown Tempe and Arizona State University, Mitchell Park West is close enough to walk to Tempe’s restaurants and bars but far enough away to avoid most of the noisy nightlife. While the proximity to ASU appeals to college students looking for rental houses, the kid-friendly Mitchell Park and Childsplay theater also attract families here. Tempe Town Lake is also within walking distance, and the Valley Metro light rail, Loop 202 and Interstate 10 make it easy to get around the Phoenix metro area.

Ranch-style homes with desert-friendly yards
Midcentury ranch-style homes line Mitchell Park West’s sidewalk-lined streets. Most houses have a one- or two-car paved driveway leading to an attached garage or carport, and front yards typically feature desert-friendly plantings and gravel xeriscaping. Homes here rarely come on the market and sell quickly when they do. Prices typically range from around $400,000 to $550,000, depending on renovations. Single-family homes here are also available to rent.
According to Katie Walsh, a Realtor with Keller Williams East Valley who’s sold homes here for 19 years, many of the homes have Orangeburg sewer lines, which are prone to collapsing. “This is not covered by homeowners insurance and is considered differed maintenance,” she says. “It can cost up to $10,000 to $15,000 to replace a line.” She recommends buyers here do a sewer scope during the inspection to check the pipes’ condition.
Ranch homes in Mitchell Park West are the dominate style.
