Now, let's talk food. Mill Avenue, near campus, is a foodie's paradise. From savoring spicy Mexican dishes at Casa Reynoso to indulging in the yummiest vegan treats at Green New American Vegetarian, your taste buds are in for a treat!
So, in a nutshell, Tempe is where you can soak in the Arizona sun, expand your horizons at ASU, satisfy your taste buds, and dream of a greener tomorrow. It's like an oasis in the desert, and it's been a fantastic experience to share with you!

In my opinion, Tempe is a wonderful place to live! The scenery is beautiful, and the community is lively. Most of my experience is in Downtown Tempe, which is a very nice area. It is a bit of a college town, since Arizona State University - Tempe is located there, so that may not be for everyone. As a student there, however, I really like that there is almost always something going on in town, and there are lots of fun places around! The summers in Tempe can be very hot, but winters are typically mild. There are fun things to do indoors as well as outdoors, and some of my favorite places include Papago Park and Tempe Town Lake. The rent prices for apartments in the area can be a bit high, but I think that most of them are nice enough that the price is worth it. Most of the people I've come across are very kind, and I feel very safe in Tempe! It is also very accessible, even if you don't have a car. There are many transport options, from public transport to scooters, and walking!
Tempe has a lot of unique locations from restaurants, to stores, to sites. There are also constantly fun events to go to. In terms of complaints, it is aggravating how dirty local apartments are, nerve racking to be notified more often about a local stabbing or shooting, and saddening to see how many individuals are homeless here. A huge problem here that I think may tie into the previous criticisms is the tremendous amount of priority visitors for college sports games are given over local residents. Housing options are constantly running out and increasing in price, more affordable housing such as trailer neighborhoods are being shut down and demolished within short notice periods, all while I keep seeing new hotels being built. I think if the housing problem is fixed Tempe could flourish much longer as an enjoyable party spot and comfortable place of living.
