Culdesac Tempe

New society ongoing Tempe, Arizona, USA Residents since 2023 market-rate apartments

The first intentionally car-free residential neighborhood built from scratch in the US: a $200M, 17-acre development with 288 apartments and ~300 residents as of 2026, plus on-site retail, restaurants, and a farmers market. Residents get no parking but receive unlimited light-rail passes, bike infrastructure, and access to Waymo and shared mobility. Not a network-state project ideologically, but a flagship for the build-new-neighborhoods movement.

Built by Culdesac (Ryan Johnson); new-urbanist development startup
