Whether you’re seriously searching or just looking for fun, here are some Phoenix rentals that grabbed our attention this week.
This section appears in Rent Check PHX, a biweekly newsletter made for Phoenix renters, written by someone who’s lived it. Sign up for it here.
🚶 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.

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!
