“Smith & Rio is an incredible property in the heart of downtown Tempe, walkable to the area’s best shopping, dining and entertainment options,” shared Mona Nanda with HSR Phoenix. “The property’s mountain views and intentional interior design are a major draw. The community features a mix of floorplans and features, including dedicated work-from-home alcoves in select units, large walk-through closets, and pet-friendly areas and amenities, allowing the property to meet the needs of a variety of residents. We are very pleased with the initial leasing activity and expect the remaining units to be leased quickly.”

The community is a 20-minute drive to Downtown Phoenix and 10 minutes from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport.
