How to Find a Room for Rent in Phoenix
Phoenix is a great place to live in due to its multi-city metropolitan area known as the ‘Valley of the Sun’ which also includes Scottsdale, Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe and more. It’s known for its gorgeous red desert backdrop, abundance of hiking trails, golf courses, fine dining and lots of space. It’s a great place to live, and you’ll get a bigger bang for your buck when it comes to rent. But, that doesn’t mean you’ll want to forgo finding a room for rent and share a place. If you are just moving to Phoenix, finding the perfect roommate can help make for a softer landing as well as lower your living costs. Despite the common notion that finding a roommate is difficult, our platform makes it easy to find a fantastic room rental you’ll love living in.
Renting a Room or Apartment in Phoenix
Greater Phoenix has been and continues to be one of the hottest growth areas. Yet, it is still a good time to find an affordable rental in Phoenix, where the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment is currently ~$1,350. However, where you decide to live can have a significant impact on the cost of rent. Neighborhoods like Willo, Downtown Phoenix and Done Valley Ranch offer an average rent of between $2,700 to $2,300 for a two-bedroom apartment. Compared to ~$1,500 for a one bedroom apartment in these neighborhoods. So by renting a place with a roommate, you can still live in the more expensive areas, but save money on rent. For around $1,500 for a two-bedroom, you could live in Camelback East Village, Ahwatukee Foothills Village, North Mountain Village or Maryvale. The most affordable neighborhoods in Phoenix are Wier Estates, Raintree Gardens, and Black Canyon Heights, where the average two-bedroom apartment ranges from $495 to $725 a month. Stepping outside Phoenix itself won’t necessarily be any cheaper. Rents in Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert or Chandler will cost between $1,700 to $2,400 for a two-bedroom. However, you could find more affordable apartments for rent in Glendale and Mesa for ~$1,300. If you're looking for someone to move in with you or you’re looking for a room to rent and want to start off with a roommate, we can help you find the perfect place.
