Relocating to Prescott (Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, Page: rentals, house, neighborhoods)

[Faith5626]

My husband and I are getting out of the Army in a few weeks. We are looking to rent a house with a fenced yard if possible. It will be myself, my husband, our 2 year old daughter and our doberman. Yes, I know it will be hard finding a place to rent with him but he is family and won't be left behind. I have been looking on craigslist and in the paper for rentals but there is not available. I would prefer going through the owners. We are looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom house. I'd like to stay under $800. We would like to stay in Chino Valley, Prescott, or Prescott Valley.

Anybody know anyone renting or where to look?

Thank you

I think most of the rentals are listed on Craig's List. Be careful though, sometimes criminals will put up a listing with a too good too be true price, and then ask you to send them a deposit to hold the property for you. Make sure the listing is real, and don't send any money before you view the house in person. You can also do a search on Property Management in Prescott, and take a look at the websites of the major property management companies. You will get a larger, nicer house for $800/mo in Prescott Valley or Chino Valley as opposed to Prescott.

So true.

I would suggest driving around all the towns and getting familiar with the neighborhoods. Some towns have a very wide variety of neighbors and neighborhoods, and only first-hand observation can help you choose well.
