Pros and Cons of Tempe, Arizona | Tempe Living Explained by a Resident!

[@focusedfreebird]

Actually you made a great point when showing that map how TEMPE is right in the middle of all the other cities. I never realized Tempe was positioned like that, and that would make it so convenient to live there.

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Yes, oh my gosh.. I am such a visual learner.. that showing a map just makes so much sense to me! Tempe is positioned in a very convenient location - it's great (: Thank you for your comment!

[@joyfulhomemaker8053]

Tempe used to be desperate to remain a “town” and had ordinance not to build more than… I think it was 4 stories many years ago. Arizonans are pretty sad to see it turn into a city. I still love Tempe Towne Lake tho

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

The city has fully embraced it becoming a model city. & yes Tempe Towne Lake is awesome.

[@christopherboone9665]

Tempe is one of my choices when moving. They have a Circle K coporate job, where they have similar position in my current job

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

That's great! Let's me know if you have further questions about moving here.

[@christopherboone9665]

@stephaniehernandezrealtor Are there many Coporate jobs in Tempe?

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

@@christopherboone9665 Yes! Many corporate jobs along North Tempe. And depending on which sector you're looking into, other surrounding cities will also have other corporate jobs. For example: Downtown Phoenix is 15 minute drive from Tempe & Scottsdale is a 20 minute commute from Tempe.

Hello, I thought your video was excellent. I already liked and subscribed. 😊 I will move to Tempe in September; my son is at ASU. I have seen several one-bedroom apartments, but what scares me are the reviews. It seems like they all have a lot of problems with property management. Is this true? Could you tell me if E Baseline Rd is a good place to live? Thank you, and I am sorry for such a weird question.

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Hey! It's really hard to find a perfect rating for a rental apartment in any city. Baseline Rd spans many miles, but I assuming you mean the Tempe portion only. Which in that case you're looking at the central Tempe Neighborhoods which is a fantastic place to live. Hope this helps! & Best of luck on your move. Should you consider purchasing a home, please don't hesitate to reach out. - Stephanie

[@jujubaverde3619]

Yes, it helped. For sure, I will reach out. Thank you

[@T-hurter]

This was great and convincing..I was kind of nervous moving me and my kids from Tennessee to Tempe but this video really helped..I'm working with a agent with the same last name as yours...maybe your sister..but thanks for the video 👍

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Hey I'm so glad it helped! & I don't have family members in the real estate business. Should you need an agent in the future, please contact me. I hope you love Tempe just as much as me (: Stephanie [phone]

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

I love you have parks, malls,etc. Especially in the summer. Are there pools in the hot summer. 115' ???

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

The pools stay cool and occasionally they will be warm but it would have to be a really hot day.

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

@@stephaniehernandezrealtor Yeah I had family in Havasu and it was just way too isolated The pools were nice though 🤣

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

@@stephaniehernandezrealtor If it's good to know I was thinking of taking my kids on a trip not sure if it's going to be there or Southern California

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Yes! Lake Havasu is beautiful but outside of the Phoenix Metro area @@BasicBeachCommunity1

[@richchappell]

Pool water temperature is relative. When I lived in Michigan, we would open up the pool and start swimming when the water temp was about 65. In the Phoenix/Tempe area, I wouldn't even consider using the pool until the water temp hit 80. Believe it or not, that feels refreshing when it's 100+ outside.

[@overcomethepull]

Great video, the best out there!

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

I'm glad found the video helpful! Thank you.

[@phaithambila8217]

how about the average rent?especially for a 3bed apartment.Any hospitals around?

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Expect the average rent for a 3 bed & 2 bath to be $2,300. Tempe has a few Hospitals and the surrounding cities have their own too. Are you planning a move soon?

[@phaithambila8217]

I love Arizona.Very soon ,God willing,as an immigrant nurse

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Oh wow! How incredible, I hope you do come here to AZ ☀️

[@ceeIoc]

Is Tempe mostly college kids? I’m 42 single guy. Which area do you recommend for me?

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

The surrounding neighborhoods of Arizona State University will have a large student population. If you want to live nearby the university search in these tempe zip codes: 85288, 85281, 85282. If you want to live further away from the university search these tempe zip codes: 85283, 85284. Call or text me if you plan on purchasing a home here.

[@TenaciousZen]

don't know how the algorithm led me here...lol...but you are gonna want to look in the Arcadia/Biltmore area

How close is chic fa le and all my favorite tacos shops to the subdivisions and Comunnities

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

There is multiple Chick-fil-a stores and taco shops throughout the Phoenix Metro. Arizona has a total of 51 Chick-fil-a locations, there is bound to be one 10-15 minutes away wherever you decide to live :D

[@richchappell]

While I personally think Chic-fil-a is "meh" at best, there are two in Tempe, with a third one coming. There's one on University Dr. just west of Mill Ave; one in the Memorial Union at ASU's Tempe campus; and one that may be coming in the near future to the old Chompie's location on University Dr. east of Rural Rd. I'm not sure how long that will be, but I hear that their application to turn that location into a Chic-fil-a has been approved by the city.

[@user-tb4hr2ry3u]

@@richchappell what about taco locations

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Nice, also one more Tempe Chick-Fil-A location on Broadway & Priest. It’s currently under construction. 👍🏽

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

There is a new crowd favorite taco shop called Taco Chelo on College Ave & 6th St. ! I highly recommend it and you’ll find many other great options in the Phoenix Metro. I recommend using Yelp to find great local restaurants. 🌮

I wanted to know do you have to go to Phoenix for everything

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Hi Marie! Thanks for call & comment :D As we discussed going into Phoenix from Tempe will be about a 15 minute drive. All your daily life essentials you will find in Tempe. However if there is a big concert or maybe you have to catch a flight, then yes you will need to commute into Phoenix.

[@umazon4132]

I am wanting to move to AZ in Phoenix or Tempe

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Hey, both cities are great ! Phoenix covers a large area, so you'll need to narrow down which area of Phoenix. Tempe is where I live! Give me a call/text 623-329-6013 - we can chat about which area is best for you!

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

NYC subways are awful and dangerous. 🤣🤣 Great infrastructure in Tempe. I'm on the east coast and it's awful in my location.🙃

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

I do think it's pretty great here too. Comparing the two bus systems was a way to illustrate that there is public transportation here but not as comprehensive as a large city like NY. If you want travel and commute within the Phoenix Metro, you will most likely need and want a car.

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

@@stephaniehernandezrealtor I mean yes on one hand but I mean is it safe and reliable?? That's what I meant is that New York City subway is very unsafe It's average in terms of being reliable.

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

@@stephaniehernandezrealtor Yeah we looked in Las Vegas but I didn't like the area I didn't even know if Scottsdale or that general area what it look like I was comparing everything to lake Havasu and which I didn't really like for my kids. But Scottsdale looks like it has a lot of activities around that area for kids especially the In-N-Out Burger. 🍔

[@stephaniehernandezrealtor]

Scottsdale is very popular neighborhood, for good reason! I grew up in Arizona, if you would like further insight, just give me call or text [phone]@@BasicBeachCommunity1

[@dancerloverish]

@@BasicBeachCommunity1 I'm not sure what you are talking about. We were taking train from NJ to NYC. It was very safe and pretty reliable. Also, tons of people in NYC are so dependent on subways due to their work, etc. Of course, some places are less safe than others there, unfortunately, but overall people use it daily in NYC. This type of transportation doesn't exist in other places of the country. It is very convenient. In Europe, their transportation is so useful and helpful.
