What neighborhoods are best for short-term rental income in Circle City, Arizona?

Circle City is a very small, unincorporated community in Maricopa County, located just northwest of Morristown along U.S. Route 60. Originally built in the 1960s as a planned retirement community, Circle City today remains a quiet residential area with a limited number of homes. While it lacks traditional neighborhoods or tourist infrastructure, there are a few segments with potential for short-term rental income, particularly for rural travelers and seasonal guests.

Circle City Subdivision
This is the core residential grid of Circle City, consisting mostly of modest single-family homes on relatively large lots. Investors here may find opportunities in offering affordable stays for travelers passing through the northwest Valley, tradespeople working nearby, or visitors to Wickenburg or Surprise.

US-60 Corridor Properties
Homes and parcels that front or are close to US-60 benefit from visibility and ease of access to destinations like Wickenburg, Morristown, and Surprise. Short-term guests in this corridor may include RV travelers, motorcycle tourists, or snowbirds seeking affordable rural lodging.

Greater Morristown Area (Nearby)
Though technically outside Circle City’s boundaries, surrounding properties in the Morristown area share the same access and rural feel. Homes with more acreage, horse facilities, or proximity to outdoor recreation areas may attract equestrian travelers or nature enthusiasts.

Custom Desert Homes & RV-Ready Lots
Some properties in the Circle City vicinity are zoned for mobile homes or RVs. Investors offering furnished tiny homes or RV pads with utilities could attract seasonal travelers, particularly during the winter.

While Circle City is not a traditional tourist hub, its low acquisition cost and proximity to Wickenburg, Surprise, and Lake Pleasant make it worth considering for niche Airbnb strategies targeting rural travelers, budget-minded snowbirds, or outdoor recreation enthusiasts.

Do you partner with property managers or cohosting services based here?

We don’t outsource property management — we handle it in-house through Home Team Luxury Rentals , part of the Rise Collective. As one of the fastest-growing and highest-rated independently owned property management companies in the U.S., Home Team delivers full-service short-term rental management with a focus on performance, guest experience, and investor satisfaction.

In addition, we have the full-time attention of Ricardo Carillo, a trusted STR mortgage broker , to find you the best deal for financing!

Can you provide data (and possibly reviews) on successful Airbnb investments in the area?

Yes, we frequently analyze regional Airbnb data from platforms like AirDNA and PriceLabs to identify high-performing properties across Arizona. In key markets such as Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Sedona, many short-term rentals consistently achieve occupancy rates between 55–70%, with average daily rates (ADR) ranging from $180 to $325 depending on the season, home type, and proximity to local attractions.

For instance, in Scottsdale, short-term rentals average an occupancy rate of around 62% with an ADR of $294, leading to average annual revenue figures exceeding $60,000 for well-located, professionally managed properties. Sedona remains a top performer year-round due to its tourism-driven demand, while cities like Tempe and Flagstaff also attract steady bookings tied to universities, events, and outdoor recreation.

We track key performance indicators including RevPAR (Revenue Per Available Room), booking lead time, and guest review volume to benchmark potential investment opportunities. This data-driven approach allows us to provide investor clients with anonymized case studies and aggregated review trends, offering insights into what drives success in different regions of Arizona.

For example, in the Phoenix metro area, suburban neighborhoods near spring training stadiums and event venues have seen rising demand, while luxury homes in North Scottsdale continue to command premium pricing and longer booking windows from snowbirds and group travelers.

If you're interested, we can provide detailed data reports or case studies tailored to your specific Arizona market or neighborhood of interest.

What should I look for in an Airbnb investment property in the Phoenix metro area beyond just location?

While location is critical, it’s only one piece of what makes a short-term rental successful in the Phoenix metro market. The most profitable Airbnb investments combine guest-focused design, operational efficiency, and long-term compliance readiness. Here’s what to prioritize beyond the map pin:

• Legal and Regulatory Fit – Make sure the property is in a city or zone that allows short-term rentals and meets all local licensing, safety, and parking requirements.

• Guest Appeal and Amenities – Properties with features like private pools, outdoor dining areas, smart home tech, and open-concept layouts consistently attract higher nightly rates and better reviews.

• Design for Flexibility – Homes with multiple bedrooms, functional workspaces, and comfortable gathering areas appeal to a wider range of guest types—from families and snowbirds to digital nomads.

• Property Condition and Upgrade Potential – Turnkey properties or those with high-ROI renovation potential tend to perform better, especially when optimized for Airbnb with the help of our team at BNB Turnkey and BNB Construction.

• Noise, Privacy, and Parking – Quiet surroundings, ample parking, and good noise insulation can improve guest satisfaction while helping you stay in good standing with neighbors and local regulators.

• Historical Performance Data – We evaluate AirDNA, PriceLabs, and other STR data platforms to benchmark potential earnings based on occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, and local competition.

Our Phoenix-area Airbnb Realtors, through STR Realtor Search, work with you to evaluate all of these criteria before you buy—ensuring that your investment is both guest-ready and future-proof.

What makes a house — or other property types like condos or townhomes — ideal for short-term rentals in this market?

In the Phoenix metro area, short-term rental properties perform best when they blend smart location choices, guest-centric amenities, and regulatory compliance. Proximity to major attractions—such as sports venues, shopping districts, universities, and outdoor recreation—drives strong year-round demand, especially during peak travel seasons like winter and spring.

What makes a property ideal isn’t just where it is, but how well it serves guest needs. Homes with resort-style features—like private pools, shaded patios, and open indoor/outdoor living areas—tend to outperform. Interiors that are modern, spacious, and designed for groups or families are also key, especially when paired with conveniences like smart home tech, high-speed Wi-Fi, and flexible layouts.

Local ordinances across the metro vary, so properties that are already in permitted zones and meet licensing, safety, and parking requirements offer a clearer path to profitability. Compliance isn’t optional—it’s part of creating a stable, long-term STR investment.

Finally, properties that support longer stays and cater to a variety of travelers—whether vacationers, snowbirds, or remote workers—have a competitive edge. The most successful rentals in this market are designed for both comfort and compliance, offering memorable guest experiences while aligning with metro-wide travel trends and seasonal demand.
