Liberal College town. Expensive (college town) but lots of cool places to eat (college town).
Most left wing place in the Valley. |

I grew up 2 miles south of ASU. What were once nice family homes are now rentals for college kids. There are some nicer areas in Tempe just think south.

Most of metro Phoenix is like a giant subdivision. Tempe has a more urban city feel.
And liberals. |

Go look at a map and see the nice freeway system we have. Then know you can get twice the house with just a short drive. Only good thing about Tempe is sight seeing around the bars and parks.

Lots of better places in the valley to live , and many close to Tempe .
Tempe is like Morgantown with less rednecks and more gays and Latinos

I unfortunately live in Tempe right now for the time being. It's a loud college town with bad traffic. Lots of liberals and some ok places to eat. I'm going to move back to Phoenix. If you get a job offer in Tempe you don't necessarily have to live there because there's plenty of freeways.

Hey OP, I just went through this as well. Wife was offered a position in south scottsdale and we just rented a place in chandler (we're from Iowa). It seems that you can get more bang for your buck in the chandler and gilbert area. And omg all the gun stores
 I don't have any in the area right now

I live in Tempe and prefer it. Close to where I work and everything you could want or need near by.

There's really no good reason to live in Tempe, that I can think of. Hot college chicks everywhere. I lived about 2 blocks from ASU for a few years, we'd get 'lost' in Safeway just buying a 12 pack.... Has some really great variety of food, lots of parks, a good library, close to the center of the valley so easier to get places. Light rail is close enough to walk, so you can go to the games and concerts in downtown, get trashed and not have to worry about getting a DUI or fighting traffic. Housing is expensive. I remember paying an astronomical amount even 10-15 years ago. As 'liberal' as Tempe may be, Arizona has state preemption of Firearms laws, etc... If I move back to AZ I'll either live in Tempe or somewhere around Gold Canyon / Unincorporated area north of AJ(Still have a house there) |

It is the valley. You can live anywhere you want. Find a neighborhood you like and move in (but always keep commute in mind
 )

I love Tempe, but, not a place to live if you're married and kids. At least I wouldn't think Cool restaurants, bars, and a whole lotta hot chicks |

Look in south tempe near Chandler and mesa borders. It's far enough off campus to be outside of that mess.

Single or family? Former, then Tempe is great. Not the nicest place around (moved there from south Gilbert), but I'm right off the freeway in a recently renovated house and pay less for a mortgage than most pay in rent around here. Great freeway access (I work east in Mesa and west in Phoenix), all kinds of food/shopping in any direction, and plenty to look at. As mentioned, it's a bit more urban than suburban, which I like. If you have a family, I'd definitly say NE Mesa or south Gilbert/Chandler, or even Ahwatukee. I lived in the west valley several years ago and can't recommend it (over east valley), especially for a commute to Tempe.
Gun shops are on every corner it seems, but my go-to is Merchant in south Chandler. |

If you like listening to planes, trains and sirens all day and night and having your stuff gone through by bums anytime your not looking then you should live there. And if you like seeing homeless living, sleeping, begging and crapping all over the place then you should really live in there. If your willing to never sit on a bus stop bench because they won't stop the homeless from doing what they door all over them then it's an awesome place. If you like stopping every hundred yards you should totally move there. If you enjoy stepping over homeless that lay one the sidewalks when you want to enjoy the bar scene you should totally check this place out. And if you want to be in a place where it takes an hour to go to the store 2 MI away because surface streets are so congested, you have found your new place

When I lived there neighbor lady got beat up by her boyfriend and came to my house to call 911. Cops came to my house and rapped on my door with mag light putting dings in a brand new just hung steel clad door. That's how they treat tax payers property but bums run the streets and barely get a "move it along".
Uber in and drink if that's what you like |

Depends on what you want out of life in the area you live.
I live on the eastern edge of Tempe and am pretty happy there. Neighborhood is pretty quiet and out of the way with respect to downtown Tempe proper. There are others like it, but I wouldn't say its the "norm" for Tempe. And there's no way I'd live any closer (within 2-3 mile radius) to ASU. Check out the following: Evergreen Neighborhood Shalimar Neighborhood Cole Park Neighborhood Optimist Park Neighborhood Camelot Village Dava Lakeshore Raintree Neighborhood Sandahl Neighborhood Sunburst Farms Estate La Colina Warner Estates Corona Village Warner Ranch Alta Mira Those are what I'd consider most of the "nice" neighborhoods of Tempe, and occupy it's East/South corridors. Depending on your budget some of those may be a bit out of reach. |

Start paying attention to bus stop benches, hedges next to pony walls along landscaping facing streets, transformer boxes. Look for feet sticking out. The city is a sanctuary for bums. Check out the park at mill and curry, tax payers can'take use it and if there's no bums there when you drive by don't sit on any of the benches or eat at the picnic table. If you have kids don'the let them use the bumper shower known asince a splash pad at Tempe town lake

Im not really down with anything outside of Anthem and Cave Creek. Too much traffic. Too many people. I can't wait to move out if Gilbert to one of the aforementioned areas.
It's not that Gilbert is bad it's just......cookie cutter. I have like 12 walmarts within 5 miles of me (none of which have 22 lol). It's just feels like Tampa without the water. North Phoenix actually feels like the desert IMO. |
