Overview of PDP 85053
PDP 85053 is a student housing property located in Glendale, Arizona, United States, at the address AZ 85053, USA. It offers shared living arrangements with 6-bedroom and 7-bedroom units, as well as branded independent houses. The property is situated in a suburban area of Phoenix’s West Valley, within reach of several colleges and universities in the region. It is managed through the amber platform and is one of 13 student housing properties currently listed in Glendale on that marketplace.
The weekly rent ranges from 176 USD to 205 USD (indicative — confirm with the operator). All prices are quoted per person per week, and the rent includes utilities via the bills‑included tag. Internet access and parking space are also provided. The minimum lease term is 16 weeks, making it a viable option for a single semester or a shorter academic stay.
No resident reviews are publicly available for this property at the time of writing (data date 2026‑07). The following assessment is therefore based on the property’s stated features, pricing, and location rather than first‑hand resident feedback.
Who This Residence Suits
Students on a budget seeking all‑inclusive pricing
With a starting price of 176 USD per week and bills included (electricity, water, gas, and internet), PDP 85053 suits residents who want predictable monthly costs. The inclusive model removes the need to split utility bills among flatmates, which is common in off‑campus shared houses.
Groups of students willing to share a large house
The property offers 6‑bedroom and 7‑bedroom units. This arrangement is ideal for a group of friends or students who are comfortable with a communal living environment. The branded independent house option may also appeal to those looking for a property managed under a consistent brand standard.
Students with a car
Parking is listed as an included amenity. For students attending institutions in the Glendale/Phoenix area, having a dedicated parking space is a practical advantage, especially in suburban settings where public transportation can be limited.
Short‑term or semester‑only stays
The minimum lease of 16 weeks (approximately four months) allows a fall‑semester or spring‑semester rental without committing to a full academic year. This is useful for exchange students or those whose housing needs align with a single term.
Who This Residence Doesn’t Suit
Students who prefer a private studio or en‑suite bathroom
All units are multi‑bedroom (6‑bed or 7‑bed), meaning residents share common areas such as kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. Those who value maximum privacy or require an en‑suite may find this property unsuitable.
Late bookers with specific room preferences
Given the limited number of unit types (only large shared houses) and the absence of an available‑from date in the database, availability may shift quickly. Students who wait too long to book may find that only the higher‑priced rooms (up to 205 USD/week) remain, or that the property is fully taken.
Students on a tight weekly budget below 170 USD
The city’s from‑price for student housing in Glendale is 174 USD per week (indicative). PDP 85053’s cheapest room (176 USD) is slightly above that floor. For comparison, the lower end of the city’s offerings can be a few dollars cheaper, though those may not include bills or parking. Budget‑conscious students should compare net costs after adding estimated utilities.
Students looking for a property with published resident feedback
No resident quotes or ratings exist for PDP 85053 in the available data. Future residents who rely heavily on former tenants’ experiences may prefer a property with existing reviews elsewhere.
What Residents Actually Say
As of the data date (2026‑07), there are no resident reviews recorded for PDP 85053 in the source database. The “reviews” field is empty. Therefore, we cannot quote any actual resident statements about living conditions, management, or neighbourhood experience.
If you are considering this property, you may try to find unofficial feedback on social media groups of local universities, or contact the property operator directly to ask for references. Alternatively, you can use the on‑site assistant (see the invitation at the end of this article) to check whether any updates have been added since this article was written.
Price Positioning vs the City’s From‑Price
Glendale’s lowest‑priced student housing listed on the same platform starts at 174 USD per week (indicative — confirm with the operator). PDP 85053’s minimum price of 176 USD per week is 2 USD higher, positioning it just above the city’s entry‑level point.
The property’s maximum price (205 USD/week) is 29 USD above the city floor. This premium likely reflects the inclusion of bills, internet, and parking. To decide whether PDP 85053 is good value, calculate the total weekly cost of a cheaper unit (174 USD) plus typical utility bills (roughly 15–25 USD/week in Arizona) and internet (10–15 USD/week). That hypothetical total would be 199–214 USD/week — meaning the 176–205 USD range of PDP 85053 may actually be competitive once all costs are bundled.
The property is one of 13 options in Glendale. With no single occupancy or smaller apartment types, its price segmentation clearly targets the shared‑house market.
Room‑Type Guidance
The inventory lists three unit types:
- 6‑bedroom units – six individual bedrooms within a shared house or apartment. Typical for groups of six.
- 7‑bedroom units – a larger configuration for seven flatmates. Often chosen by larger friend groups or organised by a lead tenant.
- Branded independent house – this likely refers to a single‑family home operated under a brand or management company, offering a similar shared experience but possibly with a different aesthetic or house rules.
No exact floor plans, square footage, or specific amenity differences between these types are provided in the source data. When booking, confirm with the operator:
- Whether each bedroom has a lock
- How many bathrooms per unit
- Whether the “branded independent house” has a different rent structure or contract length
Because all rooms fall within the same price band (176–205 USD/week), the actual rent likely depends on room size or floor level rather than unit type.
Booking Timing
The source data does not specify a fixed “available from” date, suggesting the property may be listed for rolling availability. However, the minimum lease of 16 weeks indicates that the property is aimed at academic‑year or semester‑length stays.
General advice for this property:
- Apply early (at least 2–3 months ahead of your intended move‑in). Large shared houses with bills included tend to fill faster among groups that start searching in spring for a fall semester.
- If you are a solo tenant, you may need to join a pre‑existing group (the property does not state whether individual room bookings are allowed). Clarify this with the operator.
- No deposit amount is listed in the data (deposit: null). Ask the operator whether a security deposit or booking fee is required, and whether it is refundable.
- Book for the full 16‑week minimum if your semester is exactly that long; if you need a longer tenancy, check whether the lease can be extended beyond 16 weeks.
Because the city has 13 properties on the same platform, PDP 85053 is not the only option, but its combo of bills included, parking, and 16‑week minimum makes it a specific fit for certain profiles.
FAQ
H3: Is a security deposit required for PDP 85053?
The source data does not list a deposit amount (field is null). This could mean the operator does not charge a deposit, or the information was not provided. You must confirm directly with the property manager before booking. Deposit policies in Arizona student housing typically range from half a month’s rent to a full month’s rent.
H3: Can I rent just one room, or do I need a full group?
The property offers 6‑bedroom, 7‑bedroom, and branded independent house units. It is common for such properties to accept individual tenants for an open room, but this is not guaranteed. When you contact the operator, specify that you are a single person, and ask if they have a matching service to fill the remaining rooms. If the property is marketed only for groups, you may need to find flatmates yourself.
H3: Are utilities and internet really fully included in the 176–205 USD/week price?
Yes — the “bills_included” and “Internet” tags indicate that the weekly rent covers water, electricity, gas, and internet. There should be no separate utility bills. Nevertheless, ask the operator whether there are any caps on usage (e.g., a set amount for electricity per month) or any extra fees for parking. Always request a written summary of what is included before signing the lease.
