An emerging area in the east valley
Located near Arizona State University and downtown Tempe, South Tempe offers an array of outdoor amenities and housing options. “The area has really grown,” says Rob Becker, a native Arizona resident and owner of Top Rock Realty who has sold homes in the valley for 29 years. Over the last decade especially, Tempe as a standalone city has become a driving force behind the massive growth in the Phoenix metropolitan area, much of it due to job opportunities and new real estate development. “Tempe is pretty central for going to Phoenix or Mesa, and you’re close to all the nightlife and ASU,” Becker says. “It has everything going for it.”
