River Ranch Apartments
You’ll find the River Ranch Apartments approximately eight miles south of the Arizona State University campus in Tempe.

This location also offers easy access to I-10, AZ-101 and AZ-202, and the drive to downtown Phoenix is less than 30 minutes in light traffic.

The Wells Fargo Arena, aquatics facilities and sports arenas are located north of University, and you’ll find most of the academic buildings and administrative offices to the south.
