8211 E Garfield St

A two-story cooperative community built in 1964, this low-rise complex offers one- to three-bedroom layouts in townhouse and garden-style floor plans. Units commonly feature modest upgrades such as granite or quartz counters, laminate or wood‑look flooring, dual‑pane windows, and kitchen islands or breakfast bars; some residences include master bedroom sitting areas, walk-in closets, and split-level or upstairs configurations. Interiors emphasize maintenance-free living with no interior steps in select units, accessibility accommodations, and in-unit or stacked laundry in several homes. The site is organized around landscaped greenbelts, shared patios and private enclosed patios, with outdoor conveniences including covered patios, gazebos/ramadas, barbecue areas, a playground, storage and private yards for certain homes. Community amenities are extensive for a property of this scale: multiple (four) pools including at least one heated saltwater pool, large laundry rooms, an exercise room, library and meeting room, community garden, picnic areas and play spaces. Operationally the cooperative model centralizes many utilities and repairs — monthly fees cover taxes, blanket insurance, water and full repair of HVAC, water heaters, plumbing and roofing — and sales convey membership rather than traditional deeded title. Located near the 101/202 freeways, shopping, ASU/Tempe attractions, transit stops and golf, the complex supports a lock‑and‑leave lifestyle geared toward low upkeep and communal resources. Coop rules commonly require cash purchases, board and credit approval, and restrict rentals and most pets, though service animals are typically permitted.
