July 2, 2026How to Get a View of Tempe Town Lake Every Day
Tempe Town Lake has been a centerpiece of the city since it reopened to the public in 1999, and it’s only gotten better over time. With more than five miles of walking and biking paths, a children’s playground and splash pad, a marina, and a steady calendar of events, there’s always something happening along its shores. But rather than just visiting the lake, why not live somewhere you can see it every day?
The Lake as Your Backyard
Condos at Tempe Town Lake put you right in the heart of the action. Mill Avenue is just blocks away with its restaurants, bars, and shops. Tempe Beach Park hosts the 4th of July fireworks, New Year’s Eve festivities, triathlons including the November Ironman, running races, regattas, and more. The ASU crew team can often be spotted on the water in the early morning hours.
High-Rise Views
For the most dramatic lake views, nothing beats living above it all. Edgewater at Hayden Ferry is an eight-story tower on the lake’s south edge with only 80 residences. Floor-to-ceiling windows on north-facing units deliver unobstructed views of the water and the landscape beyond. Right next door, Bridgeview offers penthouse units with spectacular views and generous square footage for buyers seeking true luxury and space.
At the east end of the lake, Northshore at Tempe Town Lake takes a different architectural approach — its U-shaped building gives all 134 homes the best possible sightlines, with lake views to the south and Papago Park to the north. The lakefront pool, bar, and barbecue area make it feel like a private resort.
Lower-Rise Options
High-rises aren’t the only way to enjoy the lake. Regatta Pointe on the southwest side offers a mix of single-level condos, multi-level townhomes, and live-work units within blocks of the water and a short walk to Mill Avenue and the Tempe Center for the Arts. It’s gated, with a pool, spa, and fitness center. 525 Town Lake offers loft-style two-bedroom residences right on 1st Street, with select units offering lake views — typically at a premium.
