Tempe, AZ: Local News, Events & Community Guide - September 2026

Updated: Saturday, September 12, 2026

Tempe, Arizona blends a lively college-town energy with established neighborhoods and an increasingly urban core, anchored by Arizona State University and the shops and eateries around Mill Avenue. Tempe Town Lake and the connected paths draw runners, cyclists, and people who like an easy way to unwind outdoors, while nearby desert preserves offer quick hikes with big views. Many residents appreciate how days often invite time outside, with shade and water features making a noticeable difference.

Housing options range from lake-adjacent condos and newer apartments near transit to single-family homes in quieter pockets like Maple-Ash and The Lakes, plus a mix of townhomes throughout the city. The Orbit neighborhood shuttles, light rail, and direct freeway access make commuting to Downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, and the airport straightforward, and it’s easy to live with fewer car trips in the densest areas. Farmers markets, coffee shops, cultural events at ASU, and a strong local dining scene give Tempe an everyday convenience that appeals to buyers, sellers, and renters looking for a connected, active place to call home.
