8220 E Garfield St

A low-rise cooperative community built in 1965 with two stories and primarily one- and two-bedroom residences. The complex reads as mid-century garden-style housing: walk-up units clustered around shared courtyards, greenbelts and four swimming pools. Typical interiors mix practical, updated features and original touches — travertine or laminate flooring, dual-pane windows, breakfast bars or islands in eat-in kitchens, granite or laminate counters, recessed lighting, and 9-foot-plus flat ceilings. Several units include enclosed balconies or patios used as dens, walk-in closets, master suites with 3/4 or full baths, and in-unit or building laundry. Exterior amenities emphasize outdoor recreation and family use: covered patios, private yards, playground, community barbecue areas, tennis courts, storage and private streets. The co-op model covers many building systems through monthly fees — blanket insurance, taxes, water and full repair/maintenance for HVAC, water heaters, roofs and in-wall plumbing/electrical — and provides shared facilities such as exercise room, library, meeting room, community garden and multiple laundry rooms. Parking varies by unit with some covered spaces and occasional two-space allocations. The property is car-accessible and proximate to the 101/202 freeways, public transit including a free trolley, Tempe Marketplace and ASU, supporting both seasonal residents and students. Co-op rules typically require cash purchases, board approval, and restrict rentals and pets.
