Phoenix…an urban oasis in the middle of the desert

Whether you’re a student looking to attend Arizona State in Tempe, or a golfer looking to retire to a Sun City condo, Phoenix often feels more like a resort than a hometown.

In a city that boasts sunny days 85% of the year, the opportunities for enjoying the outdoors and living life to the fullest are endless. Nestled in the Valley of the Sun, surrounded by the McDowell, White Tank and Superstition Mountains, Phoenix is bordered by the sunset-colored Sonoran Desert and dotted with man-made lakes fed by the Salt River, making this one of the most scenic areas in the country for hiking, golfing, horseback riding and simply living.

Yet Phoenix isn’t just about appearances. With more than 1.5 million residents, this is the fifth largest city in the country, and the tenth largest in terms of total land mass.

If you’re looking for an apartment in Phoenix, think about the lifestyle you’re looking for. Do you want to drop into your studio to freshen up and then get out on the town? Then look for Central Phoenix apartments. If you need jogging and walking paths for your pup (lookin’ for a pet-friendly apartment?) check out our city map and look for the big swaths of green that represent parks. No doubt, there’s a nearby Phoenix apartment for rent that will keep you and the pooch happy!

Cultural opportunities here are astounding, especially in the downtown area, where the recently renovated Symphony Hall (home to The Phoenix Symphony and the popular Herberger Theater Center) attracts both tourists and locals. Scottsdale claims more art galleries per capita than anywhere in the nation, which sets them above and apart. And Sports fans have Diamondbacks’ Chase Park (retractable roof and all), the Cardinals, the Suns and the Mercury. (And we're not even talking about the Major League Baseball teams who train nearby.)

Business is booming, too. Retail centers and hip eateries are popping up everywhere, and tourism is—as you would expect—huge (in an area this gorgeous? Of course!).

Whatever brings you to Phoenix, once you get here, you'll find it a well-rounded city with room to breathe and achieve your dreams among friendly neighbors and outstanding cultural opportunities.

It’s more than an oasis in the desert. You could call it an oasis in your life.
