State Farm Employees Relocating To Marina Heights

March 3, 2015 by Nick Bastian 1 Comment

Marina Heights will be here before we know it. In fact, many State Farm employees are already living in and around their massive new facility that is being built on Rio Salado Parkway along the south side of Tempe Town Lake.

The thousands of new people and jobs that are coming will certainly change the landscape of the area. Here at RailLife, we’d like to welcome all of the newcomers and we’d like to introduce them to one of the most exciting, diverse and urban environments in Arizona.

Downtown Tempe has great access to tons of restaurants, shops and entertainment options. We have hiking, biking and golf nearby; we have Tempe Town Lake and Tempe Beach Park. There’s world class entertainment and amazing festivals all year long, and we have awesome access to Sky Harbor International Airport, great freeway access and so much more. Heck, did I mention how close the light rail station on Mill Avenue is to Marina Heights? They’ll be able to jump on a train to go to and from the airport and to countless other awesome venues along the entire line. Sports fans at the new State Farm facility will enjoy a convenient way to get to Suns, Diamondbacks and Sun Devil athletics, as the light rail line takes people to all of those venues and more.

Here at RailLife, we think many of the State Farm employees relocating to Marina Heights will want to live along the light rail line because it just makes a lot of $ense, right? Right. While the closest light rail station is close enough to walk or ride a bike to Marina Heights, we understand that some of the new employees might not be interested in using the light rail system as their main source of transportation until the Tempe Streetcar gets funded and fully approved. Heck, there’s a LOT of other great housing options in the surrounding areas. Marina Heights is in the super-cool 85281 zip code and is close to many other awesome communities within a short commute. Of course, we can help with ALL of your real estate needs in the areas surrounding Marina Heights, too. Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert are all close by and they offer MANY housing options.
