Enter Culdesac — the budding Arizona block making a reputation for itself because the “first car-free neighborhood constructed from scratch within the US.”
Situated in Tempe, residence of Arizona State College, Culdesac is a neighborhood the place automobiles are banned. It has been a challenge within the making since 2018. Final yr, the neighborhood opened to residents. Now, 200 individuals stay on the 17-acre block, an organization consultant advised Enterprise Insider. Ultimately, Culdesac plans to accommodate 1,000 residents.
As a New Yorker and not using a automobile, Culdesac intrigued me. So, on a current journey to Arizona, I visited the car-free neighborhood and thought it felt like an city oasis within the Phoenix suburb.
