I base these classifications on the economic makeup & activity of each area along with the school districts and migration trends. Plus the economic council of the Greater Phoenix Area has a great resource to determine the makeup of each city. Try taking a look at the economic council's tools of the city you are looking to invest in for additional information.

Hey James the prime area for ASU Tempe is a 0.5-mile radius from the center of campus and then the next tier is a 0.5-1 miles from campus. These are the two hot zones with elevated rents due to their proximity to ASU Tempe.

Post: SFH investing- Buckeye AZ or San Tan Valley AZ

Hey @Connor Amato Both Buckeye & San Tan Valley are great up-and-coming cities/economic hubs. One thing to think about is the type of economic development happening in both areas. Buckeye is attracting a ton of manufacturing plants while San Tan Valley is seeing an implant of professionals/growing families from Chandler, Mesa, and Gilbert. Due to the differences in the economic opportunities in the two areas, there's going to be a difference in rental rates. I'd forecast that the general trend of East Valley rent being higher than West Valley rents would remain the same. This will impact the cashflow potential of your investment.
