City - Tempe

Resting along the Salt River, Tempe’s major claim to fame is the main campus of Arizona State University. More than fifty thousand students attend classes here, and the university’s impact on the local culture cannot be overstated. In addition to being the city’s largest employer, ASU serves as the cultural hub for Tempe, hosting guest speakers, art and history exhibits, concerts, and other events that draw students and non-students alike. In addition to ASU Sun Devil sports, Tempe is also home to the spring training facilities for the Los Angeles Angels and the Legoland Discovery Center Arizona. Most of the nightlife and entertainment options in town are clustered near the ASU campus on the north side of town, with the areas further south mostly occupied by quiet suburban neighborhoods.

Along with the impressive campus of ASU, Tempe house beautiful green spaces.

I have lived here for 6 months until now and I can say that if you need assistance with maintenance or something Important they’ll assist you right away.

9/8/20
Cozy spot near ASU and MILL ave

Having lived here for three years, this is the prime spot to be if you're a college student or even a person that likes a night out on the town! The apartments are cozy, there's a pool and management is fast and reliable when it comes to maintenance(they are also very chill). Mill ave is walking distance or even take a bird scooter down there. Whats not to like? 5/5

8/21/20
Great place to live!

I moved to the area not to long ago and living here was one of the best choices. The apartments are super nice and I never had any problems with my time here. I got a nice parking spot so I never thought twice about where I was going to park. It's in a great location near restaurants and ASU if you're a student. Also management is easy going and answers all my questions.

Property Manager at West 5th, Responded To This Review

Thank you for the kind works.We try our best to make sure all of our tenants are taken care of!

Great place near ASU

I moved to Arizona from Colorado and didn't know a soul out here. I moved into my apartment and Robert the property manager was very up front about everything and has been super helpful getting any little thing done to keep my apartment perfect. It's a perfect place to live for anyone. There's college aged kids and older here. Noise is unheard of at these apartments. If you like restaurants and bars this is the place. You're only 3 blocks away from Mill Ave so it's perfect walking distance. If you're a college student same goes with ASU it's only a few blocks away so walking or riding a bike is perfect. And the tempe town lake is a few blocks away as well. I highly recommend this apartment complex to anyone looking to move to the Tempe area.
