Whether you’re seriously searching or just looking for fun, here are some Phoenix rentals that grabbed our attention this week.

This section appears in Rent Check PHX, a biweekly newsletter made for Phoenix renters, written by someone who’s lived it. Sign up for it here.

🚿 If you like a simple but updated look: This 1,300-square-foot home near Roosevelt and 12th streets has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a fenced-in turf front yard. It has an updated kitchen with cute backsplash and renovated bathrooms with decorative tiling. The backyard features a fire pit, and there is a carport for parking. Rent is listed at $2,199 a month, and cats and small dogs are allowed.

🏠 If you prefer new house vibes: This home built in 2023 has four bedrooms and two bathrooms for a total of 1,797 square feet. It’s in the north Phoenix Copperleaf community near Dove Valley Road and North Valley Parkway. The house includes an electric vehicle charging outlet, covered patio, and turf lawn. The neighborhood offers a community pool, park, and a sports court. It’s listed at $2,645 a month, and cats and dogs are allowed.

⛳️ If a putting green wasn’t enough: This home near Lincoln Drive and Tatum Boulevard costs $15,000 a month to live in—and it has a mini golf course in the backyard. The four-bed, four-bath is 4,000 square feet and has an outdoor kitchen, a pool, a hot tub, and a basketball court. Who among us can afford this … but just in case, it’s available April 1, comes fully furnished, and allows cats and dogs.

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

Listings available as of Feb. 18. 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!

Support Our Cause

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.
