Renter's Guide to Phoenix
Located in central Arizona, Phoenix is the state’s capital city. Its metropolitan area, often called the Valley of the Sun, also includes nearby towns like Mesa, Chandler, Scottsdale, and Tempe. Phoenix is known for its subtropical desert climate, thanks to its location right along the northeastern side of the Sonoran Desert. It is the cultural center of Arizona.
As the largest city in Arizona, Phoenix boasts a desert-like feel with all the amenities of a big city. It is the 5th fastest growing city in the entire nation, having added approx. 25,000 residents from 2014 to 2015.
Boasting more than 1.5 million residents, Phoenix is the sixth-most populous city in the U.S. and the single largest city in Arizona. Phoenix proper encompasses 517 square miles of land – making it about 4 times the size of Las Vegas - while the entirety of the Phoenix metropolitan area includes more than 14,000 square miles.
There are many big cities within driving distance of Phoenix. Las Vegas is about 300 miles away, making it a mere few hours’ drive between the cities.

For further distances, the Phoenix airport – Phoenix Sky Harbor International – offers national and international flights on more than 15 airlines.
Phoenix has a desert climate, meaning it has long, hot summers and short, very mild winter seasons. In the summer (June-September), temperatures average from 104 to 100. Winter, spring, and fall are slightly cooler, averaging between 66 and 95. On average, Phoenix has more 100-plus degree days than any other city in the country. It has very little rainfall.
