There’s a bold real estate experiment underway in Tempe, Arizona. Culdesac is the nation’s first rental community designed and built specifically for car-free living. Residents say it has helped them get to know their neighbors better. But the real test will be when temperatures climb this summer. CNBC Senior Real Estate Correspondent Diana Olick reports.

So it’s basically a tiny city
What BS! People do not want to live on top of each other with no escape elsewhere…people are broke AF and cars are expensive. Just keeping it real.
They literally charge extra rent to have a pet fish. Eco-friendly landlords are still scum.
Wow, totally missing the point at the end. Did you notice how all the buildings were tall and the shadows of one building reached the next building? Without cars and wide roads you can reduce the heat island effect, cooling the local area without using energy.
You will love ze pod.
It would be good if you could rent to own your apartment.
Let’s just tell the truth… with rising cost of rent and low wages the working class can no longer afford a car and insurance. The rich is making sure all you can afford is RENT and free conversation
So what happens when you need emergency services?
Like, why do you think the temp is so high? You want them to get back in thier cars and make it worse?
DO NOT WANT.
We need more of these neighborhoods in CA and Nevada!!! With the weather being hot they just need to build breezeways or something that will allow folks to shelter from the brutal summer sun and heat. The less cars the better air quality and folks will save $ on car insurance, car maintenance etc. it’s a win win. Let’s get this in Vegas, Reno, LA, San Francisco, San Diego, Etc… the future of housing is Smaller homes, mobile homes, convertible homes and small walkable communities. The young generation is not our grandparents generation. With homes being so expensive and cost of maintenance being so high plus mortgage rates this is what the new trend will be.
Seems experimental
This is awesome! Love that it centers living around eco friendly solutions, community and new innovations
Ohhhh
Wow this looks stupid. If you aren’t allowed a car then you’re stuck. Communism and global enslavement is right around the corner
You will own nothing and be happy ~ Klaus Schwab
This looks perfect living!
tree huggers
They should all go to Portland and live in chop that’s right in the heart of the city. You don’t need to drive anywhere. then we know where they are all at and don’t have to worry about them voting
You mean like the old streets of Europe? So this is good for introverts who don’t leave their neighborhoods let alone their house. #TRUMP2024 #MakeAmericaSafeAgain
I love it in theory but wouldn't in practice. Owning a car makes getting things done easier and faster.
Everything is too close though
It gives it very dirty rapey feeling
Give people more space
Good
I live in Seoul. I used to drive occasionally like everyone else. But there has been some stupid change in our law that made it dangerous for me to work and maintain my job simultaneously. I chose work and gave up driving, resenting the new law. But honestly, the last few months without driving was not that bad. With subways and buses connecting everywhere, and with my two legs I am doing great. I did not realize that the risks associated with driving caused some burden in my heart until I stopped driving.
Ahh yes, paying to live in a postage stamp place youll never own and where you cant keep your car. The housing equivalent of paying a mistress to step on your junk…
And you don't own it 😂😂
New Yorkers live in high rises without cars, nowhere to put them. That looks like an anthill with everyone so close in each other's laps.
We need something like this in Australia.
