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 scrolling Zillow.
Some are more practical, while others may be just for dreaming. But hopefully they’re all at least fun to look through.
⚪️ If you like a clean aesthetic: This 1,886-square-foot home is full of white—white walls, white cabinets, white railings, white counters. The three-bed, 2.5-bath off of 15th Avenue and Union Hills Drive is listed for $2,595 a month and allows cats and small dogs. It’s available as of Feb. 15, with one month of rent free.
⚙️ If you need outdoor storage space: This home off of 14th Street and Hatcher Road is 1,552-square-feet—but it’s on a nearly 10,000-square-foot lot. It also includes a storage shed in the backyard. The three-bed, two-bath is listed for $2,200 a month, and cats and dogs are allowed.
☀️ If you dream of brick and sunshine: This two-bed, one-bath has what looks to be a spacious Arizona room full of windows to let the sunshine in. The 1,095-square-foot brick home off Thomas Road and 29th Street is listed for $2,200 a month, and pets will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
🤏 If a little studio works for you: This 440-square-foot studio in the Garfield Historic District east of downtown is listed for $950 a month. The guest house has a full kitchen, private yard, and washer and dryer. It’s available Jan. 9, and cats and dogs are allowed.
If you come across any interesting, weird, or surprisingly affordable listings that you think should be featured here, please send them my way!
Listings available as of Jan. 7. 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!

Thank you for taking the time to read our work. Before you go, we hope you'll consider supporting our values-driven journalism, which has always strived to make clear what's really at stake for Arizonans and our future.
Since day one, our goal here at The Copper Courier has always been to empower people across the state with fact-based news and information. We believe that when people are armed with knowledge about what's happening in their local, state, and federal governments—including who is working on their behalf and who is actively trying to block efforts aimed at improving the daily lives of Arizona families—they will be inspired to become civically engaged.
