The Place on Jentilly
Living in the apartments at The Place on Jentilly places you within walking or driving distance of Arizona State University as well as many restaurants and sports bars serving the student and teacher population. The apartments are located on Jentilly Lane, and you can reach campus by traveling west on East Vista Del Cerro Drive and then going north on Rural Road.
Rural goes through campus and turns into North Scottsdale Road after you cross over Rio Salado Parkway, so it’s also the road you will take when venturing north of the Tempe Town Lake. There are many outdoor amusements to enjoy on both sides of the water, including the Tempe Beach Park, the ASU Karsten Golf Course, the Tempe Town Lake Marina and Rio Salado Park.
If you turn on University Drive from Rural Road, you will have a direct route through the campus going north or south. You will find most teaching buildings and administrative services south of this road while most of the athletic and entertainment venues are to the north. You can turn off University Drive onto East Veterans Way to reach the Sun Devil Stadium, aquatics center, Wells Fargo Arena and other features of the north campus.
