A Nov. 9 report by Zumper shows Glendale with the lowest average rental cost for a one-bedroom dwelling in the Valley at $1,100 a month, and second lowest for a two-bedroom at $1,450.
In these figures for October, Apache Junction is second lowest for a one-bedroom at $1,110 a month and the most cost effective for two-bedroom rentals at $1,430.
“Glendale’s one-bedroom median of $1,100 is the lowest among the Valley cities we track, though it’s only about $100 below Phoenix and Mesa. The bigger gap is with the East Valley: Scottsdale is $730 higher, and Gilbert and Chandler run $360 to $440 higher,” Crystal Chen, a writer for Zumper with more than a decade spent analyzing rental trends, stated in an email.
