Based on 34 price checks, Oct 2025 – Nov 2026. Each complex’s overall price trend is removed first, so this shows the seasonal pattern rather than the market moving up or down. That’s about one year of seasons, so treat it as an early read. Months marked “—” for specials had no specials data in the archived pages.

Signals, not guarantees. A lower price is never promised, but these are good reasons to ask for one, or for a bigger special.

Message you can send

Hi, I'm interested in renting at Arts District and could move in soon. I see your starting price is $1,350 with up to 10 weeks free. Horizon North is working out to about $1,043 a month with its current special. Is there anything you can do to get closer to that, like a bigger special or waiving the application and admin fees? I noticed the price came down recently, so I'm hoping there's some flexibility. Could you also send me prices for 12, 13 and 15-month leases? Thank you!

How to use it

  • Ask for prices on several lease lengths and move-in dates.
  • If the rent won’t move, ask for waived fees or a bigger special.
  • Get any deal in writing before you sign.

A rough guide, not a quote: it assumes a typical all-electric apartment with central AC, at roughly 12¢ per kWh, before the utility’s fixed monthly service charge. Your bill depends on your plan (time-of-use plans can cost more or less), the thermostat, the unit’s age and sun exposure. Many complexes also bill water, sewer and trash separately.

Eviction filings come from Maricopa County Justice Courts data published by the City of Phoenix, and larger complexes naturally have more. Tenant names are never collected.
