tempe homes for sale: Another Hidden Gem in Tempe - 09/19/13 09:57 AM
If you were to ask people what they think of when you ask them about living Tempe Arizona, living on the lake might not be the first thing that comes to mind.
The Lakes in Tempe is kind of a hidden gem that sometimes gets overlooked. The area is a great combination of location and lifestyle and can be hard to beat for lakeside living in AZ. 

Residents of The Lakes can enjoy driving their boat to Pier 54 for lakeside food and drink, too. A very cool bonus, for sure!.

tempe homes for sale: Area Spotlight: SW Campus at ASU - 03/22/12 04:00 PM
Homes near ASU seem to be popular for many people. As Dr. Crow continues his quest to make ASU into a 50 Million student University, it seems like housing choices near campus continue to shrink as demand continues to rise. While we have several cool neighborhoods surrounding campus, I thought I’d talk about some of the areas to the South West of ASU.
While Maple-Ash and Mitchell Park seem to always get a lot of attention, you have neighborhoods like Gililland, Clark Park, Marilyn Ann and the Holdeman Neighborhood that deserve some lovin’ as well.

tempe homes for sale: Paradise Bakery Coming to South Tempe - 06/25/11 05:44 AM
Work has begun on the space rumored to be a new Paradise Bakery location at McClintock and Guadalupe in South Tempe within the “Camelot Corner.”


You may wonder why Paradise would want to be so close to the very popular Wildflower Bread company directly across the street. The location seems to sit well with most though as the “competition” can be good for both companies. These two centers, along the south side of Guadalupe Road at McClintock Drive, are VERY popular with Tempe residents.  Living near by, I can attest to the convenience of walking to the grocery store, … (0 comments)

tempe homes for sale: More Diversification Coming To Mill Avenue - 05/20/11 02:52 AM
When you think of Mill Avenue, do you think of old people? Yeah, most people don’t. Soon, that might change as more of us  learn more about Encore on Farmer. 
Encore is going to be 56 units of age and income restricted living for seniors 55 and older just outside of the heart of the Mill Avenue District. Located on Farmer Street between 6th and 7th streets, this would seem like a pretty convenient location for any age group. Having senior citizens directly west of West 6th is going to bring an interesting mix of people living in the area.

Mayor Hallman discussed the quality of the construction, the sustainability of the project, and conveyed some of the excitement that many people feel for the area.

The Mill Avenue District is undergoing many changes right before our eyes. In a “bad economy” we see new businesses opening and we see renewed interest in things like Music on Mill, the Thursday Night Market, housing interest etc.
Recent public meetings to discuss the Tempe South High Capacity Study shed more light on what may be a part of our not too distant future. METRO has made a recommendation of a fairly recent idea of a Mill / Ash loop with a Modern Streetcar. A Modern Streetcar isn’t some cheesy little trolley like some envision.  It is similar to a … (0 comments)
