Aside from cost, the number one thing that people are concerned about when looking for Tempe apartments is safety. People do not want to move into an apartment building that is in an area that has a lot of crime. They certainly do not want to move into a building that is home to drug dealing or other nefarious activities. There are certain areas where it is possible to get as close to crime free apartments as possible.
One of the best places to start your search for safe Tempe apartment rentals is the Tempe government website, located at tempe.gov. They have an extensive section called a Crime Analysis Unit, which can give you rankings and calls for service for various apartment communities in Tempe. They also provide crime information for parks, schools, and mobile home parks. This site also lists the apartment communities that are a Crime-Free Multi-Housing Property, which means they are a member of the Crime-Free Multi-Housing Program.
For example, Terrace Apartments, Villa Nicole Apartments, and the Villa Tempe Apartments are all very highly rated. You can also discover which apartment complexes have had the fewest calls to the police and which ones are ranked very highly. The site also lets you know things like the Haven apartment community had 37 service calls to police from citizens in the month of December and that the Vue on Apache apartments and Solara at Mill apartments are two of the most unsafe apartment buildings in Tempe.
One of the most common crimes in Tempe may be an issue no matter where your apartment is in Tempe. That crime is vehicle break-ins. More and more you are hearing about cars being broken into on the street so that thieves can make off with GPS systems, cell phones, and CD players. One way you can combat this crime is to live in one of the apartment communities that offers garage parking. A garage that is attached to your unit, such as is found in town homes, allows you to always be able to keep an eye on your car. Another option is apartment communities that have a group garage that is monitored 24 hours a day by security. Then you can know that you car is safe overnight.
In addition to this website, there are also some general things that you should know about crime in the city of Tempe. Like most cities, the amount of reported street crime like drug sales and gun crimes is much greater in poorer areas than affluent areas. That is not to say that richer areas are without crime, it is just a different type of crime than what you may see on the evening news, such as more behind the scenes drug sales or white-collar crimes.
It can be scary to move to a new town where you do not know what areas are generally considered to be safe and which areas are generally considered to be crime-ridden. With the help of the Tempe government website and a little common sense, however, it should not be difficult for you to find a Tempe apartment rental where you feel safe and relaxed.
