Taylor, AZ Homes for Rent

Taylor is in the Silver Creek Valley of Central Arizona, at the foot of the White Mountains. This pioneer town was founded in 1878 by James Pearce, and it’s named after John Taylor, the third president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. While plenty of residents in town don’t have swaths of land, Taylor has always had an agricultural identity. “Taylor was founded as a farm town. The cooler weather and water access from Silver Creek make it great for farming,” says Realtor Brandy Bryant with eXp, who was born and raised in Taylor. The rural lifestyle is present with everyone here, not just ranchers. “People who come here want to be self-sustaining,” Bryant says. “They want land with space for animals or a big garden.” Taylor is about 3 hours from Phoenix, but buyers gravitate to this rural setting to get more land for their money. “People come here for more space,” Bryant says. “Land here is almost always less expensive than where they’re coming from.” The median price is about $380,000. Ranch-style homes on an acre or more start just above the median. Most of these properties are in the open plains outside town, but some are in town. Ranch-style homes are
