Are you looking for a new rental in Phoenix? Or maybe you’re someone who likes to scroll housing listings for fun? Either way, I’m bringing you the highlights of what I’ve seen while tinkering around with Zillow.

Some are more practical, while others may be just for dreaming. But hopefully they’re all at least interesting to look through.

🤏 If you’re interested in co-living: X Phoenix at Van Buren and Third streets offers co-living apartments that start at $899 a month for a four-bedroom configuration and $985 for a three-bedroom, both priced for 14-month leases. This includes a private bedroom and bathroom, and shared access to a fully equipped kitchen and furnished living area. X Phoenix also offers studios that start at $1,189 and one-bedroom apartments starting at $1,396. Amenities include a large pool, hot tub, open workspace, a club room, and an indoor/outdoor fitness center. The complex is currently offering up to two months’ rent free, and on-site parking is available for a monthly fee.

🗣️ If you want to hear yourself echo: This 4,058-square-foot home off of 19th Avenue and Jomax Road has plenty of room for a big family or lots of roommates with four bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. It’s listed for $3,295 a month and has a three-car garage, backyard gazebo, and solar panels.

💙 If you’re feeling blue: This 1,930-square-foot home off of 44th Street and Elliot Road has a super cute blue kitchen. It has four bedrooms and two bathrooms and is listed at $2,750 a month. Dogs of certain breeds are allowed, but there can be no more than two, and they must be under 60 pounds.

🔑 If you like a funky loft: This 1,574-square-foot townhome near the I-10 and Seventh Street has fun colors that are unusual for rentals. It was first listed for rent in July at $3,000 a month, but it’s since been lowered to $2,650. It has three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, an enclosed garage, and a balcony.

If you come across any drool-worthy, weird, or surprisingly affordable listings that you think should be featured here, please send them my way at [email protected]!

Listings available as of Oct. 22. I’m not paid to share these listings, but that doesn’t mean I can personally vouch for them. Please do your research before applying and signing a lease!
