Honestly, I feel it's really hit or miss with Tempe. I know a number of people who live there and many of the neighborhoods seem a bit run down and many are rented to college students. When we searched the area we settled on the Desert Breeze area not far from Tempe in N. Chandler close to Chandler Fashion Center. There is one nicer neighborhood in Tempe that is off McClintock (a major North South road), they have horse properties in the area. I belive the area is North of Elliot and South of Baseline.
