The Ash Avenue Bridge first brought people to West Tempe
West Tempe sits in the heart of the Phoenix Metropolitan area and has managed to retain its residential charm over the years as the city has blossomed around it. One major development that influenced West Tempe’s growth was the Tempe State Bridge, also known as the Ash Avenue Bridge. Completed in 1913, it was the first major highway bridge crossing the Salt River and was considered the first dependable crossing between Phoenix and Tempe for wagons and automobiles.
More farmers started coming to the West Tempe area as it became home to raising alfalfa and grains for feeding livestock, especially as the network of irrigation canals expanded rapidly. For years, West Tempe was known as a small agricultural community until after World War II. The city came to be through annexation and by the 1980s, many of the local farmlands gave way to Arizona State University, businesses, and residential neighborhoods. Today, West Tempe is known for its centrally located proximity to major businesses and the university while keeping its agricultural and historical roots.
Historical post-war neighborhoods and 1990s subdivision
Tempe has a variety of home styles, from historic bungalows along palm tree-lined streets to newer, more modern home builds. In certain portions of the city, homes span a few acres and are horse properties, a charming and nostalgic characteristic of residential Tempe. Residents can live in one of the many designated historical homes neighborhoods, such as Maple-Ash, that are renowned for their post-war architecture. The Date Palm Manor neighborhood, for example, features custom-built homes in mid-century ranch-style architecture. As a landlocked community, Tempe experienced much of its booming home growth in the 1980s and 1990s. These communities are largely track home style, single-family homes.
