Characteristics

Transportation

This part of the Greater Phoenix metropolitan area will appeal to house buyers who want to reside in a compact community since it is rather suitable for pedestrians; running common errands is convenient without needing a vehicle, and various businesses are close at hand. A good number of residents in the area use their bicycle as there are few hills to confront cyclists. Tempe is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, commuters profit from many rapid transit stations on the Valley Metro Rail and PHX Sky Train. Property owners profit from the 44th St, University Dr/Rural and Sycamore/Main St with access to the Valley Metro Rail and PHX Sky Train. The city is connected by about 40 bus lines, and most houses are very close to a bus stop. In contrast, driving is a very good mode of transportation in Tempe. Many homes for sale are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway, such as Superstition Freeway, and parking is easy.
