Local housing information for Tempe

Local rental overview

The River at Eastline Village's site advertises 2106 E. Apache Boulevard, Tempe. Clare Feldstadt's property site calls itself Clare Feldstat and uses the same address and phone; older HAMC documents described Clare apartments in Mesa. Do not treat the shared Tempe office as proof of the location of every unit in either program. HAMC also uses the same address for the Mesa-based Maricopa Revitalization Partnership's leasing office.

Criminal screening overview

Neither The River nor Clare is in the property lists for PRAC, PBRA or PBV in HAMC's linked 2025 Tenant Selection Plan. Ask management which property-specific rules apply; do not assume the plan's provisions cover each site or that a conviction will be approved.

Application tips

Ask HAMC at 602-744-4500 or the property office at 602-744-4562 to confirm the actual unit location, program eligibility, current rent and waitlist status before applying. The authority's portal guidance describes checking a waitlist, not a guaranteed vacancy.
