Living in Tempe

Tempe, formerly known as Hayden’s Ferry, is situated in Maricopa County, Arizona, near to Phoenix and Scottsdale.

Leading chain stores and specialty shops, as well as several entertainment venues make downtown Tempe the place to visit by day and night.

Moving to Tempe

Tempe is only ten minutes away from the Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, and close to four major freeways, making the city a very convenient place to live and work in. The Tempe in Motion bus routes are popular with residents, and the new Metro light rail system links Tempe with Phoenix and Mesa, making business travel between the neighboring cities very easy and convenient. Tempe has some 165 miles of designated cycling and walking/jogging paths within its city limits, including the beautiful waterfront area. The Arizona State University, meanwhile, is the largest public university in the United States and has many sporting and cultural venues on campus, including the ASU Gammage Auditorium, a theater designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Relocating to Tempe can nevertheless be quite daunting and problems may arise which call for advice from those with experience of the relocation process to the United States and Arizona. As a member of InterNations, an expatriate moving to Tempe can call upon the friendly, online InterNations community for help with specific relocation problems. And for more general queries, InterNations content section, including the Expat Magazine, covers a wide range of topics relevant not only for expats in Tempe.
