A Furnished Home Below Market
Market surveys in 2026 place two-bedroom rents in Flagstaff at an average of roughly $2,082 per month citywide, with the Southside neighborhood specifically averaging closer to $2,863 per month for an unfurnished unit.

Commons at Sawmill's entire two-bedroom, two-bath home starts at approximately $1,798 per month furnished, including a 50-inch smart TV, a full furniture package, and upgraded Wi-Fi.
