Finding an Apartment in PhoenixIf you plan on moving to the desert area of Phoenix, Arizona be prepared for lots of sunshine, hot temperatures, and a flat housing market after years of run-up. Apartment finder websites like Rent.com or Apartments.com are great for finding rentals, but we also prefer looking at apartment complex websites (many listed below) for more details and photos. Craigslist.org will also give you many more options with property rentals and even subleases in cities like Phoenix. Interstate 10 runs through Phoenix with highway 17 heading north and Loop 101 going up towards Scottsdale. Chandler is just southeast of the city and Glendale or Peoria are located to the west. When searching for an apartment in Phoenix we highly suggest driving around the specific neighborhoods you are interested in, then go online to apartment websites, call a few property or apartment managers to get more details on floor plans that are available, parking spaces, bedrooms bathrooms, pools on site, fitness rooms, are pets ok, etc. Then after making sure the place has what you want go out and take a look. Trying to rent an apartment can be time consuming so getting as much information over the phone or Internet as possible will definitely save you time. Phoenix is still very affordable compared to other cities around the U.S. so finding a 1 or 2 bedroom unit shouldn't be that hard. Not all complexes have 3 bedroom apartments so that could be tougher. Some cities offer condo units at roughly the same price as apartments, so look into that option as well.
The cost of living is moderate in the Phoenix Metro area, and 1 BR apartments will normally set you back $600 or more per month. Below are listings for some Phoenix Apartment Rentals.
