About University
Heights
University Heights, located between Arizona State University and Tempe Town Lake, is a historic and residential Tempe neighborhood with midcentury ranch homes and palm-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Mill Avenue and University Drive, where patios, coffee counters, and late-night bites set a steady street-level hum. Community pillars include Tempe Center for the Arts, ASU Gammage, and Changing Hands Bookstore. Side streets read as tidy blocks of low-slung houses, brick accents, and mature shade trees. Bike lanes and canal paths stitch daily routines to campus, the lakefront, and downtown Tempe. Parks and the lake edge add open-air breathing room without changing the compact, walkable feel.
