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 recently while scrolling 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 easily fall in love with historic homes: You know a house has to have some cool history when it has its own name. The Welch House, listed for $5,000 a month, is a 1928 Craftsman bungalow that mixes original features with modern upgrades—and it even has a root cellar. The five-bed, three-bath is located near McDowell Road and Central Avenue, and it comes in at 1,968 square feet. It has a 1950s O’Keefe and Merritt gas stove, detached two-car garage, living room fireplace, wrap-around front porch, and electric vehicle charger. The home is available April 1, and dogs are allowed.
🐴 If you need somewhere to put your horses: This home listed for $3,495 a month in North Mountain Village feels almost like a cabin with its wooden and stone interior features. The two-bed, two-bath sits on 1.4 acres and includes four shaded horse stalls and turf yard space. The house is 1,342 square feet, and cats and dogs are allowed.
🚪 If you want storage in nearly every room: This home built in 2000 near Cave Creek and Cactus roads has a wildly ample amount of storage—an office with a built-in desk and cabinets, a closet with a custom organizing system, a walk-in pantry full of shelves, and built-in garage cabinets. The three-bed, 2.5-bath is 2,212 square feet and listed for $2,500 a month.
