My 2 current roommates and I are planning on moving to Tempe in July, I just have a few questions I was wondering. We are all men ages, 21, 23, and 25. We are all single and smoke marijuana. 1 of us is Brazilian, 1 Guatemalan, and 1 African American . We are all students in different fields. We enjoy tons of activities. Whats it going to be like for us in Tempe? Hows the nightlife? Are people willing to rent a house to males our age or do you think we will have to find an apartment? Anything we should really check out when we get there? Do we need a car as soon as we get there or is it possible to walk to a lot of stuff? We usually stay up really late is anything open all night? Is it easy to meet new people?

Oh and by the way, you will get plenty of info if you click on the advanced search and type in Tempe. I had alot of questions regarding my move as well (transportation, demographics, housing, etc) and mostly all of them were answered by looking at previous posts.

I was saying we are all single because I was wondering about the nightlife, and I was saying we all smoke marijuana because i was wondering about how excepted it is out there. We are from Chicago and its not really frowned upon here. I looked at a lot of posts so i kinda have some of the answers I just wanted a little more info. Thanks

Welcome to Tempe. It seems the city of Tempe frowns on anyone that isn't college age or younger. You are welcome by the plethora of poke smokers in Tempe and in the valley for that matter. I can't wait to get out of this home for thieves.

The city of Tempe is quite welcoming to people of all ages. In my part of town you'd never know the University is even there. Their strict party ordinance surely isn't aimed at my age group.

Whether you will be able to find a house to rent as opposed to an apartment, I don't know. I don't have much contact with the rental situation here. If you are good neighbors otherwise, the marijuana smell that may waft from your house might be ignored.

It's my fault. I made a generalized statement like I did and you made the same. It sounds like the kind of area you are in, is far south Tempe, near Chandler. I am more referring to the area of a 15 minute bicycle ride to downtown Tempe.

If you are talking about the area near downtown, that is where most of the college age people are, but there are other demographics living there, especially south of the campus. (I spend a lot of time in that neighborhood too.)

I specifically referred to south Tempe, you said "the City of Tempe"-- more than a bit broader than my statement. If you are thinking of a specific part of a city in making a post, it's helpful to say so, rather than appearing to overgeneralize.

Anyways, Tempe is a 24/7 town, every night of the week you will find people out walking around mill ave and the college area until sunrise.
Looks like the OP already explained that.

Northern Tempe in the ASU or Mill area would be the location that would suit you best.

Medicinal marijuana was made legal by a slim majority of voters last year but I think it won't be offiical until April. I really don't think you have to worry about police raids if you smoke it recreationally, Tempe isn't all that conservative.

Nightlife is good along Mill and you can walk just about anywhere. Phoenix is a car-driven metropolitan area but northern Tempe is an exception to that rule.

Any apartment complex in Phoenix has a good majority of people smoking marijuana in it, it's common around here.
IF the cop wanted to be hard about it; posession of even 1 joint IS a felony here in Arizona. Though with the med marijuana law, things may be diferent. Id like to see it legal for all.

I live in Tempe near ASU. Im a 40 yo dude who dont like a lot of noice cause I work early. Ive called the cops on loud partys. They came out and settled things down real fast.
