Tempe's Cultural Services Division provides the diverse population of Tempe with cultural experiences and resources through exceptional facilities and engaging programs. The goal of the Cultural Services Division is to both inspire and educate individuals through the wonder of arts, history, and culture.
Tempe's Cultural Services Division manages several facilities and organizations based in the city, including the Tempe Center for the Arts and the Tempe Historical Museum. Scheduled to open in September of 2007, the construction of the much-anticipated Tempe Center for the Arts is nearly complete. The Center will be an 88,000-plus-square-foot arts complex located lakeside adjacent a 17-acre park that will offer ample recreation opportunities. Take in the breathtaking view of the Papago and Camelback mountains as you enjoy the Tempe Garden Club gazebo, the new lakeside amphitheater, or access to the new Light Rail system, all within the 17-acre park.
There are ample residences popping up nearby as well. Tempe real estate is being greatly enhanced with the new developments offered amid this cultural revitalization. Edgewater and Bridgeview Condominiums at Hayden Ferry Lakeside, Grigio Tempe Town Lake Contemporary Living, Northshore at Playa Del Norte condos, Mondrian condominiums, Millstone Townhomes, The Residences at Town Lake and The Brownstones at Tempe are all new developments that offer easy access to the unique blend of arts, culture and the endless Town Lake outdoor activities.
In addition to the Tempe Center for the Arts, the Cultural Services Division operates the Tempe Historical Museum. Revitalized in 1991, the Museum changes exhibits regularly, so there's always a reason to return. Other museums include the Arizona Historical Society Museum, the ASU Planetarium and the ASU Art Museum. It's this rich culture that sets Tempe real estate apart from the rest.
Tempe makes a fine home for families with school-age children, and the city provides a number of activities for the young as well as the young at heart. The child-oriented professional theater company, Childsplay, is award-winning and a great sensation for children and families alike. Fiddlesticks is a 20-acre family complex featuring go-carts, batting cages, miniature golf, bumper boats and a new arcade. Adults will enjoy the lighted driving range and pro shop. Tempe also features Gameworks, an indoor game pavilion, Arizona Mills IMAX Theater and Kiwanis Community Park, featuring a lake, boat rentals, sporting fields, playgrounds and batting cages. When you choose to purchase Tempe real estate, you are choosing to be a part of a very family-friendly city.
Enriching the livelihood and atmosphere of the city of Tempe are its public libraries, parks, swimming pools, recreation centers and sports complexes. In addition, the Sun Devil Stadium is a full-service facility located just east of downtown Tempe that draws many major sporting events. Having hosted the Super Bowl and multiple NCAA Bowl games (formerly the Fiesta Bowl, and currently the Insight Bowl), Tempe real estate offers big city attractions. Tempe is also the location of spring training for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Considering all of the art, events and culture that Tempe real estate has to offer, it's easy to see why Tempe condos and homes continue to thrive. Tempe homes are upscale yet affordable, as the overall cost of living in this bustling city is well below the national average.
