Are you looking for a new Phoenix rental? 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 recently while checking out Zillow.
Some are more practical, while others may be just for dreaming. But hopefully they’re all at least entertaining to look through.
🪟 If you like an airy loft space: This 1,881-square-foot home has a loft with what looks like lots of natural light that could be used as a sitting room, office, or storage space. The three-bed, two-bath is near 15th and Glendale avenues. It has a garage, walk-in closet, and patio area with turf. The home is listed for $2,950 a month, and it’s available now. Pets are allowed.
🙈 If you want to be able to disappear in your house: I thought the previous house was big, but this one sits at 2,677 square feet. It’s located off Cave Creek Road and Deer Valley Drive, and it’s listed for $3,310 a month. The four-bed, three-bath has a sizable fenced-in backyard and a primary bathroom with a separate tub and shower, and a double vanity. It’s available now, and pets are allowed.
🎨 If 900 square feet is all you need: This two-bed, one-bath near 14th Street and McDowell Road is in the aforementioned Coronado neighborhood. What it lacks in space, it makes up for in character with its blue kitchen cabinets, dark walls and exterior, and backyard mural. The house, built in 1937, is available now for $2,150 a month and has a fenced-in backyard with turf. Pets are allowed on a case-by-case basis.
If you come across any interesting, weird, or surprisingly affordable listings that you think should be featured here, please send them my way at jessicaswarner@couriernewsroom.com!
Listings available as of July 1. 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.
