Mesa Overview

Rental homes in Mesa, AZ are a great choice if you're looking to move to the Copper State. This suburb of Phoenix has a booming job market, especially in the health and tech sectors. If you like sunshine, Mesa will feel like heaven. We get 300 sunny days per year. We have extended golf and hiking seasons as a result. Mesa is a great city to retire in or raise a family. Whatever stage you're at in life, you'll fit right in. As a bonus, Mesa is a haven for spring training for Major League Baseball teams. 

What is the history of Mesa?

The Hohokam people inhabited the Mesa area originally. They build a sophisticated canal system to deliver water to more than 110,000 acres in the Arizona desert. Many of those canals are still in use today. The first American settlers moved into the area in 1877. Mesa was incorporated as a city in 1883, with a population of around 300 people. The invention of air conditioning after World War II caused Mesa's population to boom. Early aerospace companies were founded in Mesa in the 1960s, which is a reflection of the city's commitment to the tech industry today. 

How is the weather in Mesa?

One January winter, Mesa experienced its most significant snowfall. Kids who had never seen snow before were able to build snowmen that didn't melt for 11 days. That was back in 1937. Winters are fairly mild these days. Daily high temperatures stay around 70 degrees in January and February. Although freezing temperatures happen at night, significant snowfall is extremely rare. Mesa has a hot desert climate and as a result, rental homes with air conditioning are a necessity. The city only gets an average of about 11 inches of rainfall every year to briefly interrupt those 300 days of sunshine.

How do I get around town?

Most people own a car to get around in Mesa. The city does have a good public transportation system, known as Valley Metro. Bus service is available seven days a week. Valley Metro Rail is the city's light rail system, which also helps ferry people to and from work. The light rail runs between East Mesa through Tempe and all the way up to Northwest Phoenix. There are two airports available for flights. Falcon Field was originally built as a training field for British pilots in World War II. The airfield was ceded to the city after the war. Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport offers a limited number of flights. You can always head to Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix if you need to take a longer flight.

What is the Mesa commute like?

The average commute time in Mesa can be anywhere between 25 and 30 minutes. Traffic in Mesa becomes the most congested around 3 p.m. on weekdays, when school gets out. The afternoon rush is from 3 to 5 p.m. The morning rush is not as severe unless you're commuting into Phoenix. Morning rush hour traffic can happen between 5 and 9 a.m. if you're headed in that direction. US Route 60, known as Superstition Freeway locally, is one of the main east-west routes in the city. Main Street is the main east-west route, however. Country Club Drive, Gilbert Road, and Power Road are the main north-south roads to know about.

Why live in Mesa, AZ?

Rental homes in Mesa range from very affordable to extravagant, depending on which neighborhood you choose to move to. The people of the city are very "outdoorsy" and take advantage of the great weather. Mesa has 40 miles of bike lanes and dozens of mountain biking trails. Hiking and kayaking are extremely popular. Mesa has its own local orchestra and a thriving arts scene. Beer lovers will never run out of taprooms and breweries to sample in the city. Renting in Mesa is also cheaper than in Phoenix or the other suburbs around the city.

What Mesa landmarks should I see?

Mesa Grande Cultural Park is one of the most noteworthy historic landmarks in the area. It contains a group of preserved Hohokam structures that were last occupied between 1100 and 1400. The Arizona Air Force Commemorative Museum is located at Falcon Field. It showcases antique planes and jets and explores the rich aeronautical history of the state. The Bank of America building is the only highrise in the city, so it stands out as a very recognizable landmark. The Arizona Museum of Natural History is located in Mesa. It's a great way to explore the natural and cultural history of the "Sunbelt" states. 

What is there to do around Mesa?

There are a couple of baseball parks that MLB lovers will want to know about. Hohokam Park is the spring training site of the Oakland Athletics, and Sloan Park is home to the Chicago Cubs. Want to cool the kids off? Check out the Golfland Sunsplash Waterpark or take them to one of the city's splash pads in a local park. Kids That Rip is an indoor playground with skateboarding, gymnastics, and a Ninja Warrior obstacle course. Golf is huge in Mesa because we get so much sunshine. There are 25 public and private courses in the city. There are dozens of hiking trails in the mountains around Mesa--just don't forget the sunscreen and drinking water!

Where is the best place to move in Mesa?

Mesa is a large city with a population of more than 500,000. There are many opportunities to find the perfect Mesa rental home. The Mira Mesa neighborhood is east and north of Downtown Mesa. It's close to convenient shopping and dining. Sunland Village is east and south of Downtown Mesa. It's a nice residential neighborhood with its own centrally located golf club. The Dobson Woods and Rancho Del Mar neighborhoods are directly south of Downtown Mesa. They offer convenient access to Country Club Drive and the Superstition Freeway. The Fuller Ranch and Parkview Terrace neighborhoods have convenient walking trails and easy access to shopping and East Broadway Road.
