Phoenix is Arizona's capital and its largest city, with neighborhoods that range from historic districts and downtown high-rises to suburban foothills communities. It is also the center of the Valley's job market, sports, dining and arts. These are the newest homes for sale in Phoenix listed in the MLS as condos, townhouses, patio homes, twin homes or lofts. Attached homes can be a simpler way to own, with the association handling some exterior maintenance.
With a single-family home you generally own the lot and are responsible for the exterior. With a condo or townhome you usually own the unit and share ownership of common areas, and the association takes care of items like landscaping and building exteriors. That trade-off usually comes with monthly dues and a set of community rules, including rental and pet rules.
Ask for the HOA documents, budget and reserve information early, and confirm the building meets the requirements of the loan you plan to use.
Every purchase is different, and I'm a strong negotiator who keeps negotiating until the keys are in my client's hands. On some homes you may also be able to take over the seller's existing FHA, VA or USDA loan; see my assumable mortgage guide.
Can I use a Phoenix condo as a short-term rental?
Yes, but the City of Phoenix requires a city short-term rental permit for every short-term rental, applied for through the SHAPE PHX portal. You also need an Arizona transaction privilege tax (TPT) license, and the permit number must appear in every listing ad. In a multi-family building, the city's neighbor notice goes to every residential unit on the same floor. Read the condo's governing documents before you buy if renting is part of your plan.
Which Phoenix condo areas are near light rail?
Condos along Central Avenue in Downtown and Midtown Phoenix are the closest to light rail, served by Valley Metro's B Line. The A Line runs east from downtown through Tempe to Gilbert Road and Main Street in Mesa, and riders switch lines at the Downtown Phoenix Hub. See my Moving to Phoenix guide for more on getting around.
Can I go to my Phoenix condo association's board meetings?
Yes, Arizona law (A.R.S. 33-1248) makes condo board meetings open to all unit owners. Owners must be allowed to speak on an agenda item before the board votes, and they may record the open parts of a meeting. After the developer hands over control, the board must give at least 48 hours' notice, and it can close a session only for narrow reasons such as legal advice or personal information.
Does the City of Phoenix pick up trash at condos?
It depends on the size of the building. Phoenix City Code lists townhouses and condominiums among the homes the city can serve, but with limited exceptions the city does not collect from buildings with more than 30 units, and buildings with 5 to 29 units need a service agreement. Ask the HOA who handles trash and recycling for the community.
