Central Ave., near Arizona State University’s downtown campus, Phoenix Children’s Hospital, ASU Law School and ASU Medical School.
Kenect offers furnished and unfurnished apartments including junior studios, 1-bedroom, 1-bedroom flex and 3 bed/3 bath coliving floor plans.

The expansive gym features state-of-the-art AKTIV Virtual Bays loaded with hundreds of personalized workouts and virtual coaches.
Kenect’s coworking spaces include floating desks, dedicated desks, private offices and more, all carefully designed to bring residents and members an immersive community experience, while also providing an environment to relax, entertain or work remotely.
