Tempe runs on ASU, and our Tempe schedule moves with the school calendar. Around campus and along Mill Avenue, the housing skews to student and young-professional condos, mid-rise apartments, and the high-density buildings near Tempe Town Lake, which means walk-ups with no elevator, tight stairwells, and freight elevators that have to be reserved. We handle the third-floor walk-up as readily as the new lakeside high-rise, and we bring the shoulder dollies and hump straps that the older buildings demand. For the buildings near the lake and downtown, we reserve the freight elevator and coordinate loading-dock and certificate-of-insurance requirements with management before move day.
Parking and timing are the constant Tempe puzzle. The streets off Mill, University, and Apache are busy and tight, with permit zones and game-day or event traffic, so our drivers scout the approach, position the truck to keep the carry short, and work fast to stay clear of congestion. Heat shapes loading from June into September, when highs sit between 105 and 118: we start early, stage electronics and anything that warps out of the sun, and keep the truck cool. The 101 Price and the 202 Red Mountain bracket Tempe, and the 60 cuts across the south side, so transit stays quick. For students storing between leases, climate-controlled storage at about $120 to $280 a month keeps belongings safe through the summer.
