Apartment hunting

Apartment hunting can be time consuming and stressful. In heavily populated centers it can be very competitive. That is why an apartment locator can be helpful.

If you're being transferred to another city by the company you work for, or if you're making the move yourself to take a new job, ask your employer for help in finding an apartment.

If you're a student, your college probably has a student housing office to help you find a place to live.

If you're able to, go for a walk or drive as often as possible in the area to which you want to move. Sometimes an apartment vacancy will only be advertised by way of a sign in front of the building.

Word of mouth - Let your friends and the people you work with know that you're looking. Someone may come up with a lead for you. The best apartments often change occupants without ever being advertised.

Newspapers - The old-fashioned way still works. In larger cities, the smaller community newspapers may offer a way to better focus your apartment hunting to the area where you want to live.
