Housing in America is different and varies in type, layout, and square footage. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell the difference between a large studio with an alcove and a built-in partition and a one-bedroom apartment.
Finding a place to live takes time. But if you don’t have a lot of relatives who are ready to take you in for the first time (while you are looking for a suitable apartment), you don’t have a lot of other options.
I’ve selected for you the best U.S. real estate apps and analyzed their advantages and disadvantages!
Apartment Guide
Apartment rentals in the U.S. are sometimes like a cat in a poke, so if you want a site with lots of photos and floor plans, you’ve found it! Apartment Guide offers 360-degree tours, videos, and photos for most properties.
Lifecycle
The resource offers many filters to search, from dishwasher availability and pet-keeping permits to neighborhoods and tourist attractions nearby.
Coldwell Banker
Housing search service primarily for wealthy renters. Site is easy to use, has many filters (such as “smart home” or if there is a school nearby).
Lifehack
If you have enough money to rent on this site, you probably have enough to use a special person to search, too. Hire one!
Craigslist
You’ll have to look through a lot of duplicate listings, but it’s still one of the best resources for finding homes without intermediaries (owners post their listings for free). It’s possible to specify your desired price range, amenities, and filter properties based on those criteria.
Lifecycle
The key to success in your Craigslist search is to check the site for updates every day. You should be the first to spot the best offer.
For Rent
The main advantage of this website is that it provides detailed information about apartment buildings. You can see not only what’s in the apartment, but also the “perks” for the tenants in the building. There are also floor plans.
Lifecycle
For Rent has many filters, including choosing your desired neighborhood, as well as a rent calculator for what you can afford.
