- Light rail and Orbit shuttle access.
- Your route to I-10, the 202, the 101 or US 60.
- HOA rules, including any rental limits.
Is there new construction in Tempe?
Some. Because Tempe is landlocked, new homes there tend to be infill projects, townhomes and condominiums rather than large new subdivisions.
If you want a brand-new home with more space, Chris can help you compare options in nearby Mesa, Gilbert and Queen Creek.
Do most Tempe homes have an HOA?
Condos and townhomes almost always have an association, and so do many planned single-family communities. Some older neighborhoods do not. Confirm for each home.
You review the HOA disclosure documents during your 10-day inspection period. If you plan to rent the home out, check the association's rental rules before you commit. Read the Arizona HOA fees guide.
