Is a 1-bedroom or studio apartment a better value in Phoenix?

In Phoenix, 1-bedrooms average $1,078/mo versus $979/mo for a studio. For solo renters on a tight budget, compare both filters on Rentler before applying. If you work from home or spend significant time in your apartment, the extra separation of a larger unit may be worth the difference.

Are 1-bedroom apartments in Phoenix pet-friendly?

Pet policies on 1-bedroom apartments vary by landlord and building — there's no blanket rule. Use Rentler's pet-friendly filter to narrow your search, then confirm breed, weight, and deposit requirements directly with the landlord before applying.

Can I find furnished 1-bedrooms in Phoenix, AZ?

Furnished 1-bedrooms are available in Phoenix but represent a smaller share of total inventory compared to unfurnished units. Use Rentler's furnished filter to surface move-in-ready options. Furnished units are most common in newer construction buildings and in complexes that cater to corporate or short-term renters.

How much should I earn to rent a 1-bedroom in Phoenix?

Most landlords in Phoenix require gross monthly income of 2.5–3x the monthly rent. For a 1-bedroom at Phoenix's current average of $1,078/mo, that means demonstrating roughly 2.5–3x that amount in gross income. If you're below that threshold, a co-signer, larger security deposit, or prepaid rent may be accepted by some landlords — always worth asking.

What to Know Before Renting a 1-Bedroom Apartment in Phoenix, AZ

A 1-bedroom apartment in Phoenix hits the sweet spot for most solo renters and couples — enough space to have a real living room and a separated sleep area, without the cost of a 2-bedroom you don't fully use. For remote workers, a 1-bedroom is often the minimum viable setup: you can close a door between your workspace and your living space, which matters more than most people expect before they try working from a studio. When evaluating 1-bedrooms in Phoenix, pay attention to bedroom size (some 1-bedrooms are technically 1-bedrooms with a bedroom that fits a queen bed and nothing else), closet space, and whether the kitchen opens to the living room or is walled off. In-unit laundry, a parking spot, and a dedicated storage unit are the three amenities most renters wish they'd prioritized when they didn't have them. 1-bedrooms in Phoenix also tend to have the most competitive rental market of any unit type — more supply than studios, but more demand than 2-bedrooms, which means good 1-bedrooms in desirable Phoenix neighborhoods at fair prices move quickly.

Phoenix Neighborhoods for 1-Bedroom Renters

Arcadia

Featuring apartments, condos, townhomes, and single-family homes, Arcadia’s rental market consists of 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, and a few 3-bedrooms. While the area’s inventory is mostly older to mid-era builds, there are luxury pockets throughout the neighborhood with newly renovated homes and premium rentals. Pricewise, Arcadia’s rents typically run above Phoenix’s average rate of $1,496/mo. Many rentals are pet-friendly, especially homes with private yards or units next to the Arizona Canal Trail. Camelback Road, 44th Street, and Loop 202 lead directly to Downtown Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Sky Harbor International Airport. Overall, Arcadia is a strong fit for professionals, young couples, and families looking for upscale rentals in Phoenix with nature access.

Roosevelt Row/Downtown Phoenix

Roosevelt Row and Downtown Phoenix are known for modern apartments, loft-style layouts, and condos. Most rentals are either studios or 1-bedrooms, but some newer communities have 2-bedroom units available. The local inventory offers both new-builds and renovated properties. Luxury apartments typically go for prices above the $1,496/mo city average. The area is extremely walkable, and many apartment complexes are pet-friendly — especially the ones closest to parks and urban trails. Valley Metro Rail is another way to reach ASU Downtown, Midtown, and job centers. Roosevelt Row and Downtown Phoenix are a popular choice for college renters, young professionals, and individuals who want to live in an urban area without having to rely on a car.

Biltmore/Camelback East

With luxury apartments, condos, and townhomes, Biltmore and Camelback East feature mostly 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms. Rentals are primarily mid-era and new developments, and upscale communities feature resort-style amenities. Because the majority of the inventory falls into the luxury bracket, rent prices hover above Phoenix’s average of $1,496/mo. High-end communities with dog parks, walking paths, and pet amenities are the most pet-friendly. Locals use Camelback Road and SR-51 to commute throughout the metro area. Biltmore and Camelback East are best for executives, high-income households, and healthcare professionals who want premium rentals near retail, restaurants, and employers.

Maryvale

Maryvale’s apartments, duplexes, and single-family homes for rent primarily consist of 2-bedrooms and 3-bedroom layouts. Most of the neighborhood’s inventory is older to mid-era properties. Compared to Phoenix’s upscale neighborhoods, Maryville has lower rents below the city’s average of $1,496/mo monthly rate. Renters often find units priced under $1,500/mo, and even under $1,000/mo. Because of the larger layouts, many rentals are pet-friendly with private fenced-in yards. I-10, Loop 101, and Thomas Road connect Maryvale to Downtown Phoenix and employers in the West Valley. With a great balance of affordability and more space, rentals in Maryvale work well for growing families with pets, multi-generational households, and commuters seeking low rents and multiple bedrooms.

Desert Ridge/North Phoenix

Desert Ridge and North Phoenix offer apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes. Renters can find 1-bedrooms, 2-bedrooms, and 3-bedroom layouts throughout the neighborhood. The area has dog parks, trail access, and plenty of open green spaces that make rentals extremely pet-friendly. A lot of the local inventory is new construction, with luxury apartment communities and premium residential developments with rents above the $1,496/mo city average. Loop 101, SR-51, and Tatum Boulevard lead to Scottsdale, Downtown Phoenix, and other urban centers in the city. All things considered, Desert Ridge and North Phoenix are ideal for local professionals, families, and remote workers interested in modern rentals, resort-style amenities, and outdoor recreation.
