The Area
Located in the more residential section of Tempe, Corona Del Sol is located near two parks, tennis courts, pools, and skate parks. Everyday amenities, like grocery and drug stores, salons, tailors, medical plazas, restaurants, golf courses, etc. are within walking distance. Corona Del Sol does not offer a traditional Home Owners Association, but rather a voluntary neighborhood association, which plans beautification initiatives and discusses issues. Donations, not mandatory dues, fund all projects and provide maximum flexibility to residents in terms of their involvement (or lack thereof).
Only a quick 20 minute trip via lite rail to downtown Tempe, Corona Del Sol residents can enjoy the many charity marathons, ASU Gammage performances, Sun Devil games and more that Tempe has to offer. Corona Del Sol residents have maximum flexibility when it comes to seizing the day and finding something to do.

Arizona State University is the primary option for higher education in Tempe. With a wide range of areas for study, ASU is perfect for those wishing to continue their education, whether immediately after high school or later in life.

Tempe is home to many successful commercial businesses and institutions, like US Airways, Insight Enterprises, LifeLock, First Solar Project, ASU and University of Phoenix. ASU, Maricopa Community College District, and the Salt River Project are the city’s top employers. The median income for a Tempe family is $55,237 according to the 2006 census.
The average price of a home in Tempe is approximately $311,000, meaning that Corona Del Sol offers higher quality homes. Tempe housing prices have increased by $40,000 since last year to a median of $177,150. The least expensive areas are closest to the university, most likely because of the greater amount of traffic, crime, and noise—making Corona Del Sol’s 20 minute commute from the university a safe distance for individuals who desire a more suburban setting.
Tempe’s price-per-square-foot increased by 34% this year to $129. Only 36% of re-sales in Tempe are for foreclosures, while the rest of Arizona’s were 62% in 2010. The remainder of the state has consistently improved since then, but these statistics speak volumes for Tempe’s secure market.
