Window shopping: Interesting rental listings we found in Phoenix this week (Feb. 4)

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

🚶 If you love taking walks: This rental is right off Murphy’s Bridle Path, a beautiful 5-mile walking trail along Central Avenue, and the Arizona Canal Trail. It’s a two-bed, two-bath, 903-square-foot condo in a complex of 24. It has community pool access and allows cats—and it’s available starting Thursday. It’s listed for $1,875 a month.

* I shared this rental last week, but I wanted to share it again because (1) it was recommended by a reader who deserves a shoutout—thanks, Rick!—and (2) it’s still on the market.

👙 If a pool is a must: I don’t often see smaller homes coming with pools, so this 934-square-foot, two-bed, one-bath caught my eye. The residence near Seventh Street and Indian School Road also has a backyard shed for storage or extra workspace. Rent is $2,200 a month, and small dogs are allowed.

🎨 If you want an iconic mural: If/when I own a home, I’ve always thought it’d be so cool to have an artist paint a mural on it. Turns out, you can get that experience as a renter. This 420-square-foot space near 24th Street and McDowell Road bears a mural by Lalo Cota, who is behind this well-known Roosevelt mural and many others throughout the city and beyond. The guesthouse allows cats and dogs, comes fully furnished, and is listed for $1,750 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 Feb. 4. 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!
