About Julie Allen

AZReal estate license
#SA662016000

I’m Julie Allen, a Realtor with eXp Realty serving Greater Phoenix, including Scottsdale and Tempe. If you’re considering a home near Arizona State University, I can help you compare communities and plan a purchase or sale around your priorities. I work with first-time buyers, relocating households and second-home purchasers.

My hospitality and marketing background shapes the way I introduce an area and prepare a home for sale. For sellers, that includes staging, photography, video, descriptive copy and market analysis. Before entering real estate, I lived and worked in Singapore, China and Mexico; I also know the experience of moving to Arizona from the East Coast.

Whether you’re arriving from another region or making a local move, tell me how you want to live and when you hope to move. Let’s explore the property choices and next steps that fit your plans.

ASU LOCAL HOUSING CONTEXT

Use the official area and housing resources to compare the exact property address with the campus destination you need.

Maple-Ash / Park Tract

Park Tract is part of the Maple-Ash neighborhood just west of ASU's Tempe campus. The City of Tempe identifies its boundaries as 10th Street, Mill Avenue, 13th Street and the railroad.

  • Campus orientation: west of ASU's Tempe campus.
  • Park Tract is one part of Maple-Ash; compare each property's actual location.

University Park

The City of Tempe places University Park immediately south of ASU's Tempe campus and southeast of downtown. Its historic district includes primarily houses, with some duplexes.

  • Campus orientation: south of ASU's Tempe campus.
  • Use the exact address and intended campus destination to compare access.

Broadmor

Modern Phoenix documents Broadmor’s midcentury houses in the area between Broadway Road, Alameda Drive, College Avenue and Rural Road. The City also lists pollinator-garden funding for Broadmor. Compare the condition, shade and actual ASU route of the home you are considering.

  • Modern Phoenix describes low-sloping rooflines and clerestory windows in its local architectural survey; confirm the design and condition of the individual home.
  • The City grant page records approved funding for a Broadmor pollinator garden, not proof that the project is complete. Broadmor Place is a distinct name in the City’s tree-grant list.

Daley Park

The City reports completed upgrades at Daley Park, including the playground, lighting, fitness stations, trees and irrigation. Compare the exact home and campus route, and visit the park to assess how you would use it.

  • The park project is local context; it does not establish current home availability or a property’s condition.
Area context · check the exact campus routeCity of Tempe — Daley Park improvements complete ↗City of Tempe — neighborhood associations ↗Compare Daley Park housing →

Mitchell Park

The City identifies the Mitchell Park East and West neighborhoods in west Tempe, and lists the park at Mitchell Drive and Ninth Street. Compare the home’s position, crossings and route to your ASU destination rather than treating every address as the same trip.

  • The official park listing includes a dog park, playground and sports facilities; confirm the facilities and access that matter to you.
Area context · check the exact campus routeCity of Tempe — Mitchell Park and neighborhood history ↗City of Tempe — neighborhood associations ↗Compare Mitchell Park housing →

Holdeman

Holdeman’s neighborhood association reports that its Hardy Drive bike-lane mural project was completed in March 2025. Compare the home’s actual connection to Hardy Drive and the ASU route you would use, including crossings, parking and existing shade.

  • The association’s separate tree-planting page still describes a funding-dependent proposal; inspect existing trees and irrigation rather than assuming planned work is complete.
  • The mural project does not establish a safe or fast route for every address; verify your complete campus trip.
