Culdesac is the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the US, and it will have housing for 1,000 residents once phase two is complete. Culdesac is built on 17 acres of land in Tempe Arizona, right next to a light rail train stop. It is also surrounded by other alternative transportation options like bike lanes and car sharing, as well as services like Lyft and Waymo (for rides in autonomous vehicles). In addition to the transportation options, there are some great amenities on site, including a corner market, a restaurant, a bike shop, a gym, a yoga studio, and other micro retail spaces like a podcast studio, a vintage clothing store, and a home decor business. These amenities help reduce the distance people have to travel for every day necessities, but the neighborhood is also cleverly connected to the rest of the city so that residents can easily have access to other services like schools, hospitals, and other businesses in Tempe.

This project is a revolutionary reference project for other cities, towns, and developers because it demonstrates that walkable neighborhoods like Culdesac can be successful in providing the kind of housing that people want, while avoiding urban sprawl, reducing the number of parking spaces and cars in cities, and reducing carbon emissions.
We hope you enjoyed checking out this project! And we want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped make this video possible including the Culdesac team, the videographers, and Ryan and Trinity :)
Thanks for watching!
