"S Mill Ave, Tempe, Az"

This is the hot spot in Tempe, AZ. Located in the heart of Arizona State University Main Campus, this is the place to be on any given night of the week. You have everything from locally owned bars, grills, and restaurants to all the big chain restaurants. For day time activities you have Tempe Town Lake offering a full park area and man made lake for boating. Every Saturday night is a party up and down the street as the ASU Sundevils play at home or away, you can find fans and students alike enjoying the action and all the restaurants and bars. For shopping purposes you have Tempe Marketplace just a few minutes away for all your purchasing needs. Great place to visit and excellent place for dining and nightlife.

"Great place to be on Friday night"

S Mill has something for everyone. It's got great shopping, ample parking, super food and a spectacular night life. Sitting right next to ASU there are a ton of college kids out partying it up on any given night. Every college town has a bar called 'the Library', but the one sitting on Mill Ave is the best, if not the original. If hardcore party is not your style, you can try Long Wong's for great wings, be warned the atmosphere is definitely 'dive'. S Mill Ave definitely has something for everyone, go check it out.

"In the heart of the university"

This is the main retail street near ASU. It is loaded with great shops and restaurants from super cheap to fast food to a high-end steak house. There's tons of stuff to do at any hour of the day and you're never at a loss for a well-attended football game or a hike in the national park spaces around the area. The Gammage regularly hosts Broadway plays and musicals, and is just down the street.

The down side is that it's not the quietest neighborhood as it's dominated by college students, housing prices are stupefying, and so is traffic most days, though public transportation is very good as the university transit center is right there.
