In my area, Zillow home value estimates are not super accurate but the rental estimates are pretty good.Rentometer is nice you just put in the address and number of bedrooms and you get a range of rent for the area.  

The Sun City area was recommended to me by a friend and I'm working on gathering info on the area.
