Are you looking for a new rental in Phoenix? Here are some interesting listings we found this week.

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’re looking below $1,000 a month:This 500-square-foot studio off of 15th Avenue and Monroe Street fits the bill at $975 a month. The studio is one of three units in a remodeled 1920s carriage house.

💸 If you want rent that’s less than your square footage: This 1,868-square-foot house in Laveen is going for $1,695 a month. The three-bed, two-bath has new carpets, a double vanity, a garden tub, and a two-car garage. Cats and dogs are allowed.

☕️ If you like your coffee on a balcony: I don’t see many homes in Phoenix with balconies, so this stood out to me. This 1,915-square-foot, two-story home off Chandler Boulevard and Desert Hills Parkway is listed for $3,000 a month. The three-bed, 2.5-bath was built in 1992, has a fireplace, and allows cats and dogs.

😎 If you want a home that screams “cool”: This 1,467-square-foot home off of 16th Street and Bethany Home Road has some serious style, something you often don’t get in rentals. From the black and green walls to the tiled stove hood, there is a lot to look at here. The two-bed, two-bath is listed for $2,999 a month.

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 Dec. 3. 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!
