Sorrento Apartments
You’ll find the Sorrento Apartments on South Dobson Road in Mesa, Arizona. This location is just over four miles southeast of the Arizona State University campus in Tempe, and downtown Phoenix is about 17 miles to the northwest. With easy access to US-60 and the AZ-101 and AZ-202 Loops, this is an attractive residential area for those commuting to nearby cities or visiting the university on a regular basis.
To reach the ASU campus, you should travel north on Dobson to University Drive. Continue west on University until you arrive at the eastern edge of campus near Cornerstone Mall. To reach the Wells Fargo Arena or the aquatics complex, turn north on East Veterans Way from University. To reach most academic and administrative buildings, turn south from University.
If you prefer to enter campus from the south, you can take Dobson north to West Broadway Road. Take Broadway west until you reach Rural Road, and then go north on Rural until you reach your desired area of campus. This road turns into Scottsdale on the northern end of campus and will take you past Tempe Town Lake to a mountainous region filled with golf courses, walking trails and attractions like the Phoenix Zoo.
