Welcome to Tempe
Eclectic, with a rich business community and family-friendly neighborhoods, Tempe offers something for everyone.
The Neighbors
From young and old to everyone in-between, Tempe attracts people of all ages and interests.
With so many colleges in its boundaries, Tempe is known for its youthful population, many of whom are just getting started with their careers and families. The median age of residents is a young 28, but this is tempered with a plethora of older and established families that have lived in the area for decades.
What To Expect
Live theater, arts and shopping galore.
As the weather cools down in the fall, the local theater options start to really take off; for example, residents and visitors alike will find plenty of top-quality performances at ASU Gammage, Childsplay and Stray Cat Theatre. Those who love art will find works by internationally acclaimed artists at the ASU Art Museum, plus Mill Avenue offers plenty of one-of-a-kind shops in a decidedly laid-back atmosphere.
What Not To Expect
A fuddy-duddy ambience; Tempe’s got a very collegiate, funky vibe.
The Lifestyle
Opportunities for all kinds of indoor and outdoor recreation abound.
Tempe is one of the only towns in the Valley of the Sun where residents have the chance to boat, fish and hike within a stone’s throw of Fortune 500 companies. Tempe Town Lake is well-known as a business and recreation hub — plus it’s not unusual to see weekday cubicle-dwellers enjoying a lunchtime stroll around the lake. Tempe is also home to six public pools and splash pads, 40-plus parks, many golf courses and a variety of other sports facilities.
