Scottsdale ranked first among 182 cities in WalletHub's annual Best and Worst Places to Rent in America survey, with Gilbert and Chandler taking the second and third positions, the East Valley Tribune reported Saturday.
The top-three sweep gives Arizona a clean hold on the podium in the personal-finance company's ranking. KTAR and FOX 10 Phoenix both confirmed the order: Scottsdale at No. 1, Gilbert at No. 2, Chandler at No. 3. KTAR further reported that eight Arizona cities placed in the top 25 overall.
The Real Deal noted that four Greater Phoenix suburbs landed in the national top 10, calling the metro the country's leading rental market by that measure.
WalletHub's methodology, as described in Epoch Times coverage of the report, weighs quality-of-life factors alongside housing costs, including traffic congestion, job market conditions, and recreation options.
The full WalletHub ranking is expected to draw additional attention to Scottsdale's rental market heading into the fall leasing season.
