The First Car-Free Neighborhood in the US

Coldasack, located in Tempe, Arizona, is the first car-free residential project outside of Phoenix. Through a unique agreement with the city, no cars or carways are allowed within the community. The buildings are strategically arranged around pedestrian-oriented spaces with shade, artwork, and landscaping. Instead of relying on parking spaces, residents have access to electric cars, bikes, and light rail, all included in the cost of rent. This innovative approach to mobility options has received positive feedback from residents, with electric bikes being a popular mode of transportation.
