Tempe, AZ Real Estate

"Tempe is such a vibrant area. Within 10 minutes of leaving the airport you can be enjoying creative cocktails, paddling on the lake, climbing “a” mountain, experiencing the best of Broadway or getting to know the real Arizona desert. Just in case you haven’t heard of tempe, Arizona, it is home to Arizona State University (ASU), one of Arizona’s largest universities, making this one heck of a college town! Not many desert cities can claim that they have a lake to paddle around on. In fact, Tempe town lake is so unique that many east coast rowing teams come out in the winter months to practice when their own lakes and rivers are just too cold to practice on."
