5 Studio Apartments for Rent

You probably don't need convincing. After all, any town with "sun" in its name is sure to be glorious. Frank Zappa definitely thought so. His teenage years were spent getting into trouble in adjacent cities, and he got his musical start in the Sun Village club scene. Zappa's fond memories and close friends lasted a lifetime, inspiring the song "Village of the Sun." Of course, the turkey farms he wrote about aren't quite so prevalent these days, but the sand storms still blow strong now and then.

Sun Village is a close-knit community, with 11,565 residents as of the 2010 U.S. Census. Since these folks are living in such a cozy town there is no doubt that you will know your neighbors. The settlement got its start around 1950, and for a long time, it was considered a northern neighborhood of Littlerock. The two towns had heated exchanges over their exact borders up until 2007, when tempers finally cooled and the town councils compromised, which means all you have to do is enjoy the warm, dry desert sunshine.
