Renting an Apartment in West Phoenix
What You Should Know
The Southside is generally considered the area between 35th avenue to west and 48th street to the east. Van Buren street to the north and South Mountain avenue to the south. With about 400,000 residents South Phoenix is bursting at the seams. The community is helping to fuel the growth of one of the nation’s fastest growing cities. With golf courses and new housing developments appearing everywhere. But there are problems. Long associated with crime and largely Black and Hispanic about 30 percent of the population lives in poverty. Quality housing is in short supply. Most homes were built by the homeowners themselves using adobe and wood, materials that fail to meet building codes. Low property values make it unattractive for lenders to finance home improvements. Community development systems are still in their early stages , but over the last decade important steps have been taken to make quality, low-cost housing available.
