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 OK with roommates: This 2,587-square-foot house off of Colter and 16th streets has a bedroom listed for $999 a month. The room is a master suite that includes a private bathroom. The home has three housemates and includes a pool and outdoor kitchen. Fees for yard, pool, and weekly maid service are included in rent. No pets or cigarette smoking are allowed.

🧱 If you like white-washed brick: This three-bed, three-bath off of 32nd Street and Chandler Boulevard has some cool brick walls in the living room and kitchen. The 1,624-square-foot home includes a two-car garage, double vanity, walk-in shower, walk-in closet, and fenced-in grass yard. The home is listed for $2,600 a month, and dogs are allowed.

🔥 If your yard is your favorite hangout spot: This 2,000-square-foot home off 27th and Southern avenues has an interesting feature I don’t know that I’ve seen before—the backyard has what looks to be a covered fire pit, with built-in seating, surrounded by turf. The three-bed, two-bath is listed for $2,280 a month, and utilities are estimated at $400 a month. Pets are not allowed.
