Apartment List has released Phoenix’s results from the third annual Apartment List Renter Satisfaction Survey. This survey, which drew on responses from over 45,000 renters nationwide, provides insight on what states and cities must do to meet the needs of the country’s 111 million renters.

Urban renaissance defines Downtown Phoenix, where historic buildings and new construction create a dynamic mix in Arizona's growing urban core. Rental options include industrial-chic lofts and luxury high-rises with resort-style amenities targeting urban professionals. The neighborhood offers exceptional walkability to sports venues, restaurants, and the developing Roosevelt Row arts district, though summer heat creates challenging conditions for pedestrians during daylight hours when temperatures regularly exceed 110 degrees.
Central Avenue Corridor’s revitalized lofts attract muralists near Roosevelt Row galleries. Homeless encampments cluster near Indian School Road underpasses after dark, but night owls appreciate 24/7 taquerías. Limited shade intensifies heat—tree canopy covers just 9% of streets.
Entertainment central thrives near Desert Ridge Marketplace's 100+ stores. Renters enjoy resort-style pools but face 2AM noise from Topgolf's weekend parties. Mandatory valet parking adds $200+/month.
