5 Sizzling Hot One-Bedroom Apartments in Phoenix Up For Grabs

The Valley of the Sun is hot, and we’re not talking about the desert temperature: Phoenix apartments are more popular (and expensive) than ever. Due to the scarcity of available rental units and the recovering job market, rents in the city continue to rise. With a 8.4% increase year-over-year, Phoenix is now the 4th highest market for rent growth in the country, surpassing other major cities such as Atlanta, Dallas, and Los Angeles.

Still, there are lots of cheap apartments out there. Phoenix is generally regarded as a renter-friendly city, especially when compared to other in-demand urban hubs, with the average monthly rent for all properties at $837 and one-bedrooms hovering at $751.
