Eight Phoenix Cities on Best Places to Rent List

If you are looking for a place to rent, you may want to check rentals out in the Phoenix area. WalletHub, a website which helps with financials, gave 8 cities in the Phoenix Valley top rankings when renting. The city which received the highest ranking in the Phoenix area was Scottsdale. Jill Gonzalez, a spokeswoman for WalletHub, spoke why Scottsdale was ranked the best. “Really high rental affordability,” Gonzalez said. “Typically people (in Scottsdale) are spending around 18 percent of their household income on their actual rent.” 18 percent is actually quite amazing with the industry standard saying people spend 30 percent of their salary a month on rent.

Peoria was second on the list followed by Gilbert, 4th best place to rent, and Chandler, 5th best place. Other Phoenix cities that made the rankings include Glendale, 10th place, Mesa, 11th, Phoenix at 12th, and Tucson at 26th.

WalletHub ranked the best rental cities on how affordable they are and the quality of life that fits into daily living. Scottsdale topped the best Phoenix cities because of the quality school systems they have, favorable weather, safety, and job enjoyment. Gonzalez continued to say that, “Peoria, Gilbert, Chandler, Tempe, Glendale, Mesa, Phoenix, and Tucson are spending well below one-third of their income; typically about one-quarter or one-fifth.” This allows Arizona cities to enjoy what the city has to offer instead of spending all their money on rent. This helps the economy and families to save money long-term.


Other special recognitions from WalletHub included Glendale, as the 5th best place for vacant rental spots, and Gilbert, as one of the safest cities to rent from in the United States of America. Just more reasons for people to move to Arizona.
