West Tempe consists of commercial centers and quiet residences marked by the iconic desert landscape of Arizona. Tempe Town Lake, a dammed lake fed by the Salt River, provides a wet contrast to the dry environment just north of the neighborhood, providing locals with plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, and hiking around the lake.
Commuters and students enjoy the area’s convenient location, which lies about two miles from downtown Tempe, three miles from the Tempe campus of Arizona State University, and four miles from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. West Tempe affords residents the chance to bicycle or walk to shows at the Tempe Center for the Arts, festivals at the Town Lake, numerous movie theaters, and the Romantasy Cabaret—an award-winning group of Tempe performers. To be close to the action, check out apartments near West University Drive. This strip of development hosts the majority of the restaurants in the area.
