Is Tempe still affordable?
Hey everyone, Military spouse here. Poverty rate is 8.0%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $421,900 on average. Household incomes average around $77,643 in Tempe. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much.
Pros:
- Affordable cost of living
- Diverse community
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Limited dining options
- Few job opportunities in some fields
Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. The city has invested a lot in new development. The weather takes some getting used to. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly. It's changing fast — some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years.
