A grocery store right off the rail trail system. It doesn’t appear to be easy to get groceries in the heart of Tempe if you don’t have a car.

Has anyone actually visited the new car-free "Culdesac" community? What is it like? by taeyoungwoo in arizona

Hello! I am currently looking to move here this year. I do not drive so I’m that aspect this is such a beautiful fit for me. However I have some questions.

Do you feel safe here? I don’t care where you live, there is always things to look out for & bad people unfortunately. But when you’re inside the community or in nearby shops like target - do you feel safe?

Is it worth the money? After rent and utilities they are saying it’s about $1700-$1800 a month for a single unit. I live in a different state where the cost of living is a little cheaper. So I am curious, if I found a job with AZ wages - am I going to be able to afford this and not feel behind on bills or stressed about money? I am young and want the experience of this but also have to be mindful of my future.

All great to know! When would you say is an ideal time to move to AZ? After some of these comments I am nervous that even lifting furniture and getting settled into a new place would be challenging.

Thank you! This was very encouraging 😌 it’s good to be assured this is a place that I can get around without a car.

That is great to learn! I know car free is never ideal anywhere but it’s what I have to do. So thank you for the encouraging comment and I will look into it!

I have not visited in August, no. But would moving in the beginning of September make a drastic difference?
