And although the average rent might seem high in Phoenix, it’s usually worse elsewhere around the country. In fact, of the 10 cities Kiplinger found to be the best for college graduates, Phoenix had the lowest average rent, at $843 a month for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.
The top three cities picked by Kiplinger are Boulder, Colorado; Anchorage, Alaska; and Salt Lake City, Utah.
