TEMPE

Balancing Urban Life and Natural Beauty

Tempe is known for many wonderful things, all of which contribute to its reputation as a dynamic, energetic city in Maricopa County. It borders metropolitan Phoenix on its northwest side, and is surrounded by Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert and Chandler – yet it has managed to cultivate a big personality all its own.

Tempe is not only the location of the main campus of Arizona State University, it is also home to a Major League Baseball team during spring training, boasts a top-notch performing arts center and offers a wide array of recreational opportunities in its varied and diverse neighborhoods.

Downtown Tempe and the Mill Avenue District are abuzz with plenty of great shopping and dining destinations, lively nightlife and a rich arts scene. With the university close at hand, there’s also a youthful vibrancy that is undeniable. South Tempe, south of U.S. 60, offers easy access to all of this, but in a bit of a quieter, more laid-back atmosphere. Gated communities, condos and a variety of other housing options can be found throughout each of these areas of the city. Head to Tempe Town Lake for a one-of-a-kind experience – a scenic water attraction in the very heart of the city. All year long there are activities galore to entertain and delight. Boat rentals are available for those looking to cast a fishing line or simply relax. Landlubbers can take to the paved paths that circle the lake for walking and cycling exercise while enjoying the fabulous weather.

If the five-mile circumference of the lake doesn’t present enough opportunity for outdoor entertainment, the 1,500 acres that comprise Papago Park in Phoenix will surely fit the bill. Visitors to the sprawling park will also find a lovely botanical garden, the popular zoo and Governor Hunt’s Pyramid Tomb, a local landmark in the shape of a tall white pyramid.

With life in the region originally revolving around the presence of the Salt River, it makes sense that the city was named for the Vale of Tempe in Greece. One of its founders saw the resemblance to the famed verdant valley – and the lovely moniker stuck.
