Maple Ash Multifamily Homes & Duplexes for Sale

Maple Ash in Tempe is characterized by its early 20th-century homes, including Southwestern-style houses with clay-tiled roofs and Craftsman homes often listed on historic registers. The neighborhood benefits from flood irrigation, resulting in lush lawns and a dense tree canopy. While midcentury ranch-style and new traditional homes are present, the area is not designated as historic, allowing for flexible remodeling. Housing turnover is low, with properties quickly occupied due to the proximity to Arizona State University. The neighborhood features Birchett Park, a small green space, and the larger Tempe Beach Park, which offers playgrounds, walking paths, and water activities on Tempe Town Lake. Hayden Butte Preserve Park provides hiking opportunities with historical petroglyphs. Local dining includes King Coffee and the haunted Casey Moore’s Oyster House, with additional options in nearby downtown Tempe. Community events like block parties and the annual Friendsgiving potluck foster a close-knit atmosphere. Transportation is convenient with bus stops, bike lanes, and the Valley Metro light rail on Mill Avenue, and major freeways nearby. The neighborhood is about 11 miles from downtown Phoenix and 4 miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Schools in the area include the highly rated Our Lady of Mount Carmel School. Residents also have access to Arizona State University's public amenities, such as the ASU Art Museum and ASU Gammage theater.
