Housing and Transportation

CLICK HERE FOR RENTAL HOUSES PAGE

We do not have any on-campus housing or dormitories; however, Roberto-Venn currently has access to two rental houses each accommodating three tenants. One house is located in  Tempe by ASU and the other is in the South Mountain District. If you would to secure a room at the South Mountain house, contact Bart Applewhite at 602-243-1179. If you are interested in securing a room at the Tempe-ASU house, please contact Marnie Olsen at rv_rentals@cox.net or 480-560-5487.  Click here for more information!

If these rooms are full, or if you prefer different housing, we can assist you by providing housing lists and rental information, and can provide you with a list of other students in your class who are interested in sharing a house or apartment. The Phoenix Mass transit system provides buses that run to most areas of the city. Most of our students car pool and some use bicycles to reduce transportation costs.

With the school relocating to downtown phoenix there are many housing opportunities available in the area. We currently do not have a downtown housing service but here are some cross streets to begin your search. 

  • Between 7th Avenue and Central. (West to East) and between Roosevelt and Fillmore (North to South) - This area would be walking/biking distance from the school. This is just a starting point. Your search can radiate out from there.

Soon we hope to have more specific housing information available online, but until then here are a few tips:

  • Contact Tom Carmody. He has access to affordable housing within walking distance of the school.

  • 602-405-9530 or via email at tcarmody@cox.net

 

  • Contact Renters Connection, here in Phoenix. This is a no-charge service. They can help you find a reasonably priced, convenient apartment. They will even talk to your Mom, to reassure her! Email Kaye or call her at 602-672-5473. 
 
  • Try an on-line apartment search such as www.rent.net or www.aptsforrent.com. They are free and list most of the accommodations available in the area. On these sites you can search apartments by price, amenities, and location.
 
  • Once you've found an apartment that looks good, check the distance from the school with an online map service such as www.mapquest.com.
