After years of thoughtful feedback online, we’re excited to announce expanded parking options for residents and visitors.

Over the next 18 months, we’ll be replacing beautiful community spaces across the neighborhood with convenient parking, just steps from your front door.

Because nothing brings peace of mind like knowing your car is closer than your friends.

Waitlist is full. Obviously.

Desert plants lining our pathways help keep our neighborhood cool and beautiful, even in the summer heat!

7 years ago, we got laughed out of the room.

Now, leaders from all over the country are visiting Culdesac Tempe asking, "How can I bring this to my city?"

Walkable neighborhoods with local businesses and public space aren’t a new idea in the U.S. They’re just nearly impossible to build anymore in most of the country.

Zoning, parking minimums, and financing structures all default toward the same car-dependent model.

Culdesac Tempe is proof that there’s another way, and it’s shifting what developers can deliver when cities make room for it. The demand for walkable housing is there. We just need more cities to update the rules so we can build it.

Walkable streets are the best thing we can build for local businesses. And we’re proving it’s possible in the U.S. in the 2020s.

We’ve spent the last seven years proving that building walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods in the United States is a scalable model that delivers what residents and cities actually want.

The success of Culdesac is changing the conversation around what’s possible in American development by proving that everyone wins — residents feel more connected to their communities, cities gain transit riders and vibrant local businesses, and developers can create the kinds of places people prefer.

Our name is a little ironic. Cul-de-sacs became a symbol of disconnected suburban sprawl, but if you grew up in one, you know they were also the best part of the neighborhood.

No cars meant kids could actually play in the street, and people knew each other well enough to make it feel like a real community.

We're building neighborhoods that capture that energy but are actually connected, with thriving local businesses, real transportation freedom, and a culture of belonging.

The best way to address loneliness in our cities is to build walkable neighborhoods.

Why?

- Local shops, plazas, and courtyards act as third places where the community can gather.
- You're more likely to live close to friends.
- Walkable neighborhoods offer a healthy mix of private, semi-private, and public spaces, so you can choose when and how to connect with others.

At Culdesac, we're building a blueprint for making walkable neighborhoods more common in the U.S.

Americans deserve the opportunity to live a walkable, connected life.

This is what happens when we design neighborhoods with real walkability and gathering places.

Here's how more cities across the U.S. can build neighborhoods where local businesses thrive, neighbors feel a real sense of belonging, and people have the freedom to get around how they choose:

- Update zoning laws to allow mixed-use buildings
- Remove costly minimum parking requirements
- Invest in sidewalks, bike lanes, and reliable transit
- Support small businesses that serve local communities
- Prioritize infill development over sprawl

It's easier to have healthy habits in walkable neighborhoods, where you're biking to a friend's place for dinner, walking to the corner store, or stopping by the park on your way home without needing to plan out a drive.

Let's build more walkable places in the U.S.
