\nOne of the draws of Northshore is that it is\u00a0located directly on the north shore of\u00a0the lake,\u00a0as well as just minutes from environmentally friendly features like parks, public transportation and pedestrian walkways to Tempe\u2019s shopping and dining scene. And if that doesn\u2019t offer enough convenience for you, Northshore is just a five minute drive from Sky Harbor International Airport and just down the street from the Light Rail Station.<\/p>\n
Tara Storm, a homeowner at Northshore, has been incredibly pleased with her home, as it offers a green lifestyle for an affordable price, and plenty to do\u2014specifically, Storm says she likes to rollerblade along the bike path along the two-mile Tempe Town Lake (the path also connects to Hayden and Chapparal roads). \u201cI love the area\u2019s accessibility to so many nearby amenities,\u201d Storm says. \u201cI walk across the street every morning for a cup of coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n
