Searching for a new apartment-your new
home-can be a daunting task. To help take the stress out of your
search, use an online apartment
guide to find styles of rentals and neighborhoods that are right for you.
Types of Rentals in an Apartment Guide
Apartment -- There are several sizes and layouts
of rental apartments. Depending on your needs, you may want to visit
different sizes of apartments to see what could work for your stuff and your
budget. Before you visit single bedroom, 2 bedroom, and 3 bedroom apartments,
however, see if the listing you are interested in has a floor plan layout you
can look at. You also will want to consider whether you prefer renting an
apartment in a small building or a large complex which may offer more
amenities.
Duplex - Some properties are divided into
two, three, or four units for rent. They can be built this way or they can be
older houses that have been repurposed and remodeled. Often these properties
also feature a yard and garage or carport parking.
Townhouse - Townhouses and townhomes can be
stand-alone properties or may share one or two walls with neighboring
properties. Some feature yards or porches and patios. Similar to an apartment
complex or condos, a community of townhomes offers amenities such as security
and a pool.
Loft or Studio - One bedroom apartments,
lofts, and studio apartments can be found in apartment complexes or in
buildings that house businesses on lower floors. These spaces usually offer
lower rent and opportunity for creative use of open space.
House - Houses for rent are sometimes
listed in apartment guides under rental properties. This kind of rental may
cost more but offers the benefits of living in a house without the full cost
and risk of ownership.
Phoenix Apartment Guide
Use your apartment guide tool to learn about areas
of Phoenix that
have rentals listed that meet your criteria. Downtown Phoenix and Phoenix suburb
Tempe, home to Arizona State University, may have more studios and apartments
than other areas because they cater to a younger demographic. The city's many
suburbs and municipalities are connected via freeway, metro rail and public
transportation, and are full of rentals designed to meet the needs of Phoenix
residents. Newer suburbs may feature buildings with the latest in insulation
and roofing that keeps the apartment building cooler during intense heat.
