...is a good time to check out apartments? Specifically around Mesa, AZ.

Thoughts?

You could start checking them out now. But I would probably fly out here in june to actually look at them. The rates here tend to be a bit cheaper in the summer.

I'm from Mesa, and the entire Phoenix area was at the center of the housing bubble. Home prices have fallen by hundreds of thousands of dollars since 2003, so I would expect that there are abundant options for housing. You might consider renting a house and splitting it with roommates. Or for that matter, buy a foreclosed house from a bank at $100,000 and your mortgage will likely be less than your rent for a decent apartment. You could probably get by going down a few weeks early. To be really safe you could find one a month ahead.
