Mill Avenue District
A destination by itself. As home to Arizona State University, Tempe has all the
lively energy your would expect from a college town. Particularly one with almost
60,000 students. Mill Avenue is the hub of activity. It's the destination for the free-
spirited in search for where it's all happening. The atmosphere in and around Mill
Avenue can be best described as "alive".
Mill Avenue isn't just for college kids. It is a family-friendly kinda place that
often gets blocked off to handle events and celebrations. This downtown district
is uniquely pedestrian-friendly that captures an interactive crowd. With over 100
restaurants, a seemingly endless variety of nightlife spots, boutique shopping, and
movie theatres combined with the adjacent Tempe Town Lake, Sun Devil Stadium
and ASU Ganmmage Auditorium, people here will never run out of things to do.
Imagine red brick sidewalks. All lined with shade trees, turn of the century
architecture that is still in use, outdoor dining areas and street entertainment, Mill
Avenue is a great place just to people-watch. Bike and stroll the paths around
Tempe Town Lake. Kayak the waters. Enjoy the annual events like the Tempe
Festival of the Arts, the Tempe Festival of Lights and the Insight Fiesta Bowl
Block Party, one of the America's most attended outdoor New Year's Party.
Conveniently located. The university and its dorms are within easy walking
distance from Mill Avenue. High rise condos set next to the lake. And college
football enthusiasts going to and leaving the game fill the streets. And with the
Valley Metro Train, people can get from Tempe to Downtown Phoenix and
places in between with relative ease making Mill Avenue and Tempe one of the
most active hot spots in the Greater Phoenix area.
Come. Join the fun. Feel the energy.
