02 / ABOUT
Tempe's real estate market is shaped by its central location and the presence of ASU, the largest university in the country by enrollment. The student rental market drives strong demand for investment properties near campus, while the city's light rail connectivity and proximity to Sky Harbor Airport attract professionals who want an urban lifestyle without downtown Phoenix pricing.
The condo and townhome segment is particularly active in Tempe, with multiple high-rise and mid-rise developments along Tempe Town Lake and the Rio Salado corridor. These properties attract a mix of investors, ASU faculty, and professionals working in the Tempe and Chandler tech corridors. Single-family homes in south Tempe, particularly within the Kyrene school district boundary, transact at a price-per-sqft premium to comparable homes in adjacent areas.
Tempe is one of the few cities in the metro where land-locked boundaries create genuine supply constraints. The city is fully surrounded by other municipalities and the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, meaning all new development is infill or redevelopment. This structural limitation supports long-term value appreciation.
