Apartment List VS Apartments.com

I make $2,000 per month after tax, healthcare and 401K. I pay car insurance, private student loans (and federal will come due soon), phone bill, gas and a gym membership, totaling $1,140 / month. This leaves me with $860. The usual standard is 30% of my income ($800 max) which, according to apartmentlist.com for a 1/1, does not exist in my state. Looking at Zillow, I can confirm this. Cheapest 1/1 apartment is... Source: 10 months ago

"Shelter" which is comprised of "Rent" and "Owners Equivalent Rent" (OER) has a 35% weighting in the headline CPI number - higher in the Core CPI number. In May, the BLS reported YoY Shelter inflation of +8.0% which was comprised of +8.7% on Rent and +8.0% on OER. Alternatively, Zillow reported that average home prices are only up +2.0% and Redfin is saying that they're down -1.0%. ApartmentList.com said that rent... Source: 10 months ago

The apartment database sites (padmapper.com, apartmentlist.com, zeus, blueground etc) are apparently super unreliable and are scams, and the apartments I've found (Blackbird, Elise, Equity Residential, Grand Parc, etc) are apparently the same. The sites/buildings that I do hear relatively good things about (77H, Sonder, VRBO, AirBnb) are out of my price range (<$2200 for a studio) or aren't short-term enough (2... Source: 12 months ago

So I am a soon-to-be college graduate and am going to be moving to Minneapolis in June and have begun to look for apartments. Are there any recommendations for apartment complexes or places to live? For reference, I will be working close to the Cedar Hurst area. I found a couple of places like Hello apartments and Deco 265 apartments on apartmentlist.com but wasn't sure about anything yet.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've been looking on apartmentlist.com which seems a lot like apartments.com. Regardless, I'll check it out. Thanks again! Source: over 1 year ago

I'd say start searching now because you never know what you'll be able to find, try apartments.com, Facebook Marketplace, maybe Craigslist if you're brave, and I found a site called roomies.com where you can find rooms and connect with like minded people also searching. I found my place quick; My employer let me know I got the job around 2 weeks before the start date, I found my current place within a week on... Source: 5 months ago

Even if you aren't renting, I'd look for places using apartments.com commute distance feature. All roads in NJ are not created equal. You'll be able to live much further(cheaper, prettier, more space) the further south or west you go, and more than likely 95 or 80 will serve you better than the Garden State Parkway, Route 1, 9, 18, 27, 130.

If you aren't local, try places like zillow, apartments.com, rentcollegepads, or google places like JSM, MHM, Smile, Green Street Realty, University Group, Roland, Bankier, Ramshaw, etc. Source: 5 months ago

You have the budget to afford one of those luxury buildings. There aren't many (any?) in Somerville like that, I think it's due to permits/regulations or something. But if you up your budget filters on apartments.com you could still find something in Somerville with off street parking included. Source: 5 months ago

I always found hidden gems on Craigslist. People shit on it all the time but I preferred it over apartments.com and the like. No b/s, just pay the owner a flat fee monthly. Source: 5 months ago
