Renting
a duplex is the next best thing to renting a house.
Duplex rentals look like houses that are split into two side-by-side
apartments (although some are split into upper and lower level apartments).
Typically the rental property includes a yard or patio and a garage. Renting
a duplex in Phoenix can be
a great option for young couples starting a family or older couples looking
to downsize since the kids moved out and save for retirement.
How to Find Duplex Rentals
Duplex
rentals for the Phoenix area can easily be found using online apartment
guides. You are more likely to find duplex rentals in residential
neighborhoods than in downtown urban areas that consist mainly of high-rise
apartment and condo complexes.
Start your search using your budget and size
criteria and then try to narrow your search by neighborhood. Most of
Phoenix's suburbs are easily accessible from and connected to the metro area
by freeway and rail systems. The largest suburbs, each with more than 100,000
residents, include Chandler, Gilbert, Glendale, Mesa, Peoria, Scottsdale,
Surprise, and Tempe. Phoenix's smaller suburbs of approximately 10,000
residents each that are home to local traditions, historical landmarks, and
modern planned development growth include Apache Junction, Avondale, Buckeye,
Casa Grande, El Mirage, Eloy, Florence, Fountain Hills, Goodyear, Maricopa,
Paradise Valley, and Queen Creek, as well as Carefree, Cave Creek, Coolidge,
Gila Bend, Guadalupe, Kearny, Litchfield Park, Mammoth, Superior, Tolleson,
Wickenburg, and Youngtown.
How to Rent a Duplex
Renting a duplex in Phoenix is almost exactly
like applying to rent an apartment. You will typically be asked to fill out
an application and submit to a background check or provide recent paystubs
and/or references. Duplexes for rent that are owned and operated by rental
companies will follow this process. If the duplex for rent is privately owned
and maintained-for example, if the duplex owner lives in one half and
rents out the other half-then you may not be subjected to such a
rigorous process. Private owners tend to look more for someone they find
personable, likable, and trustworthy.
If you see a listing for a property that has
already been rented, go ahead and inquire as to whether the owner has
additional properties for rent that are similar. Just like with any rental
arrangement, make sure you have a copy and that you clearly understand your
rental agreement.
