Building Information
The Vista Del Sol Residential Community is a unique on-campus living experience for upperclassmen and graduate students and is located on the southernmost boundary of the Tempe campus, south of Apache Boulevard. The community features private or shared accommodations in apartment-style units, and the student programming is directed to a more mature, independent, residential population. Vista Del Sol comprises approximately 1,850 beds in apartment style buildings with individual kitchens and no central dining facilities. At the center of the 10-building community is a 23,000 sq ft community center featuring a club-style fitness center, social lounge, game room and movie theater. Adjoining the community center is a resort-style swimming pool with a massive sundeck, outdoor lounge area, basketball and sand volleyball courts.
