In a country where the car is king, a car-free community in Arizona is challenging the status quo. Culdesac Tempe, a $200 million, 17-acre development, offers a lifestyle built around human interaction rather than parking spaces. Its 300 tenants in 288 units have been lured by free e-bikes, public transit passes, and easy access to amenities. Public spaces include courtyards, communal seating, murals, and a neighborhood-wide high-speed Wi-Fi network. The result? A neighborhood that feels less like a typical American suburb and more like a Mediterranean town. For those who need a car occasionally, an on-site car rental service offers vehicles for five dollars an hour. Culdesac’s ultimate goal is to house 1,000 residents across 700 units.
