Free CF Team Resource
For employees relocating to TSMC, Intel, or the North Phoenix tech corridor. Commute, schools, and where to actually live.
Welcome
Whether you are joining TSMC at Fab 21, Intel in Chandler or North Phoenix, or one of the supporting suppliers, you are entering one of the most explosive job markets in the country. The challenge is that Phoenix is huge, the commutes are real, and most relocating engineers pick the wrong neighborhood the first time.
This guide will save you that mistake. CF Team has worked with dozens of relocating tech employees and we know exactly which submarkets fit which jobs.

Even if you do not have kids, school district matters in Phoenix because it drives resale value. Top tier districts hold value better and sell faster when you eventually move.
Chapter 3
Tech relocations come with relocation packages, sign on bonuses, and vesting schedules. Use those to your advantage.
If your company offers a 30 to 60 day temporary housing benefit, take it. Use that window to see neighborhoods in real life, drive commutes during your actual work hours, and let your CF Team advisor show you the right communities. Buying blind from out of state is the most expensive mistake we see.
Most tech relocations should rent for 60 to 90 days, then buy with full information. The cost of a wrong purchase is 10x the cost of a short term rental.
