Culdesac is the first car-free neighborhood built from scratch in the US, and it will have housing for 1,000 residents once phase two is complete. Culdesac is built on 17 acres of land in Tempe Arizona, right next to a light rail train stop. It is also surrounded by other alternative transportation options like bike lanes and car sharing, as well as services like Lyft and Waymo (for rides in autonomous vehicles). In addition to the transportation options, there are some great amenities on site, including a corner market, a restaurant, a bike shop, a gym, a yoga studio, and other micro retail spaces like a podcast studio, a vintage clothing store, and a home decor business. These amenities help reduce the distance people have to travel for every day necessities, but the neighborhood is also cleverly connected to the rest of the city so that residents can easily have access to other services like schools, hospitals, and other businesses in Tempe.

This project is a revolutionary reference project for other cities, towns, and developers because it demonstrates that walkable neighborhoods like Culdesac can be successful in providing the kind of housing that people want, while avoiding urban sprawl, reducing the number of parking spaces and cars in cities, and reducing carbon emissions.
We hope you enjoyed checking out this project! And we want to say a big thank you to everyone who helped make this video possible including the Culdesac team, the videographers, and Ryan and Trinity :)

Great idea - The US wouldn't be in a housing crisis if people had walkable cities and didn't have to drive everywhere!

@Ingrid_Abrams 4 месяца назад

I live in a walkable neighborhood in Europe, and my supermarket is here- literalky downstairs, bakery, floral shop, pharmancy, doctor's office, park, petshop, houseware shop, clothing, post office, two banks, restaurants, pubs, vino shop, pivoteka, etc all within my neighborhood square. Then my tram stop is across the street and I can go downtown in 15 mins for theater, arts, cultural stuff and large farmer's markets, and I have four seasons. I gave up my big California homes, cars (two BMW's), no car repairs and insurance and crazy stress. I was so sick of driving everywhere, my transit is $17 mo for everything: trams, buses, metro. If I need to when travelling I can rent a car. My networth, and health has improved also without paying for all that stuff!

As a European, this seems so foreign and fascinating as most of European cities try to be car free, at least, in some neighbourhoods if not in the whole area. I ever fully grasped how American cities developed or how public transportation can be so bad in some places 😅 Having never owned a car in my life, this is refreshing to have another different perspective and this is really interesting. Most of the people I know have the other side of the coin problem “where am I going to park my car because I will not be using it for the next 3weeks?” 😂 Thank you for showing this project

As someone who has lived car free for over two decades, this is a really interesting concept.. I wonder how they feel about electric motorcycles and other vehicles like that.. a lot of people in the comments are saying you’re giving up your freedom.. but I actually agree with him. I save so much money not owning a car, I belong to a car share in my city that is a $1 membership fee a month, and then pay only for the time usage, and they are all electric cars… so no gas prices increases. Also there is Uber, lyft, electric scoters, metro transit, and lightrail as options. And yes I can’t just run out the door and jump in a car and go anywhere, but that forces me to live a more deliberate lifestyle, more conscious of my choices and to have to plan out my days, weeks, schedule, which is great for me, since naturally I am a couch potato.

I agree that i could save a ton of money by not owning vehicles, however i'd miss even more the sheer joy i get out of riding my motorcycle out into the countryside on a beautiful warm , sunny day or going for a drive somewhere in my car. Selfish? Maybe, but 'til they powers that shouldn't be , stop going to wars & the so called elites of the world tone down their activities, private jets, enormous houses on huge estates etc, i'm not going to lose a lot of sleep over the carbon foot prints of my 14 yr olde car or my nearly 20 yr olde motorcycle. Besides, as in anything that gov'ts are always pushing upon us, they always show the brightest & the most fun side of what they would like to impose upon a sometimes very gullible public. Seeing those pictures of those very plain unappealing buildings reminded me of pictures of the soviet union back in the sixties, plain, ugly & designed only to house thousands of people. In 60 yrs these places could just resemble another ghetto like housing project. Ric.

As someone who can’t afford a vehicle and who’s city is laid out badly and the bus routes are no better; i love this idea. It’s healthier while also being more convenient. I have one crappy grocery store within walking distance and all the rest take 20+ mins by bus one way. And I have one pharmacy close to my place. Wanna guess where I do my grocery shopping and pick up prescrptions?

@Nehmi Месяц назад

Apparently, the corner market closed after six months. This makes sense, since they would need to reach a critical mass of people since it's only 1/3 built. The closer is a shame though. They need to keep prices low/competitive for the next market. Apparently, it was higher priced than the average area market.

@brianbreeding1 4 месяца назад

I applaud your initiative and forward thinking. I also notice the choice of locations. Not next to a light rail system, but low weather variety. Walking from the rail system, even with a larger load of groceries, is one thing when it isn’t raining. Or freezing. Or snowing. Now if we could just get business’ to stop setting up shop in areas with no water!

@MeanOldLady 3 месяца назад

Or at least have good systems that can collect, store & reuse water. So places like Arizona are excellent for off-grid living with wise, regenerative, permaculture farms run by people who understand living in these hot, arid climates.

@Basta11 9 дней назад

You don't need that much toilet paper if you can get it within a 3 minute walk from your door. Just make sure you swing by the store before you run out. This kind of living changes the way you do groceries. If its a bit of a chore to go to the grocery, it makes sense to fill up your house for weeks at a time. Here, people buy and hold fewer items at a time, but go more frequently.

You can always walk, there's the lightrail. There are also car shares. I think you are not suppose to own a vehicle but some people with businesses inside have cars. It would be great if they have a community program where the people with cars help those without. They can possibly have shuttles that take people to the grocery or the mall at certain times. Not sure if they cater to people in mobility scooters. They should. That would make it even more inclusive.

These kinds of win win communities are what the present and future needs to sustain itself. Adding ebikes though is only asking for trouble considering everywhere there is walkable to begin with. A regular pedal bike is a good enough perk, and a fraction of the cost of an ebike. Plus, the exercise could eliminate the need for a gym for some people. I live in a county in California where as soon as someone gets an ebike they lose their minds! This starts as young as elementary kids to adults. Reckless speeds, disrespect for any and all pedestrians are as commonplace here as ever. Maybe the people in your community are totally considerate of their fellow tenants while riding an ebike to and fro. Just hope they stay that way.

Though Id say you're more dependant on local businesses so that takes away a bit from no longer being 'car dependant'. I think being more self-sufficient is better but again that isn't for everyone. I also want to point out that transport is not the biggest source of emissions, its actually animal agriculture believe it or not and by quite a margin extra but it often gets ignored and blamed elsewhere like on transport.

Why did the car-free neighborhood build a huge parking lot? Also how does the business ship all the products to and from? The trucks show up at night so the residents don't see the cars and trucks delivering the goods.

@dragonabsurda 4 месяца назад

Every zone abuts other zones and they need ways to connect. The world isn't car-free and this community isn't autonomous. They need a space to interface. This is normal for car-free neighbourhoods.

@@daltonbedore8396 Sure, but at least your mind won't be chained. Personally, I'd rather spend a few bucks on gas in a fair market trade for someone else's work and be free to explore anywhere the road can take me then be holed up, going to home and work, over and over again on a bus, trapped in a city, surrounded by the same high volume human bs every single day. But hey, at least you could convince yourself you're morally superior to everyone else because you have a single part of the market you choose not to trade in, and you can hang out with all your morally superior friends-neighbors and huff each others' farts

I think there is pro and cons to this complex ,I live in the UK,so home life is a little different, the complex is kept very clean ,extremely roomy indoors ,nice idea car free,facilities like gym and shop is ideal,nice gift a free bike,I feel though it's very white inside and out we need colour to nourish our auras and spirit, too close knit to others hence lack of privacy ,would not be ideal with the elderly who may struggle to ride a bike or disabled people so does not cater for all,not too ideal for children no play area,even though it was mentioned landscape I disagree not much nature at all. ,price to rent or buy one of these apartments was not mentioned or any additional charges like cleaning staff,are they also long term homes ,contracts ,rent to buy scheme?,wveryone has different needs and wants ,very nice if one felt this complex was the right type of accommodation and if you enjoy being in a small knit community, not ideal for all . Liked it though a superb way to house people and beautifully designed ,nicely kept .

@dragonabsurda 4 месяца назад

I'm guessing the building facades facilitate reflecting ambient daylight into the lanes. Consider cities like Santorini. The buildings themselves are mostly just blocks, but the whitewash helps keep the lanes bright while still providing shade from the intense direct sunlight.

Being closed to motor traffic or not designed for motor vehicles does not mean inaccessible to motor traffic. They wouldn't have received development approval without emergency access. Generally, these communities are built with primary laneways large enough for emergency vehicles to access every building. They are simply closed off to motor traffic unless there's an emergency. Lots of places in Europe are like this. Many pedestrian-only shopping districts have specific days or hours when trucks are allowed in to make deliveries, nothing outside that.

for sure the main type of ppl that hate this are business involving cars (repair shops, gas stations, dealerships, etc) and real estate agents. they fear/hate the idea of if somehow this takes off damn fast then there goes the rate of ppl need repairs, gas and such for the cars and the cost of the house will drop with the removal of the garage or at least reduce size of it which will alter pricing. this can cause harm to those businesses whic hdepending on ppl and which side their on will vary.
