Renting a Room or Apartment in Phoenix

Greater Phoenix has been and continues to be one of the hottest growth areas. Yet, it is still a good time to find an affordable rental in Phoenix, where the average rent for a two bedroom apartment is currently ~$1,350. However, where you decide to live can have a significant impact on the cost of rent. Neighborhoods like Willo, Downtown Phoenix and Done Valley Ranch offer an average rent of between $2,700 to $2,300 for a two bedroom apartment. Compared to ~$1,500 for a one bedroom apartment in these neighborhoods. So by having a roommate, you can still live in the more expensive areas, but save money on rent. For around $1,500 for a two bedroom, you could live in Camelback East Village, Ahwatukee Foothills Village, North Mountain Village or Maryvale. The most affordable neighborhoods in Phoenix are Wier Estates, Raintree Gardens, and Black Canyon Heights, where the average two bedroom apartment ranges from $495 to $725 a month. Stepping outside Phoenix itself won’t necessarily be any cheaper. Rents in Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert or Chandler will cost between $1,700 to $2,400 for a two bedroom apartment. However, you could find more affordable apartments for rent in Glendale and Mesa for ~$1,300.
