Yesterday I received 30 emails from Apartment List in ONE DAY. That’s just far too many emails for me, and I’m guessing that’s too many for others too. On top of that, there aren’t really apartments through Apartment List that are great, inexpensive deals. They are mostly upscale apartments in large apartment complexes. Coming from an apartment building with only four units, where the rent for the unit is half the cost of the current market rate (although my unit has been under Los Angeles rent control for 13 years, so I do have a pretty unique deal), looking at these complexes that have 220 units and call themselves a “small” complex with that many units, it’s a little daunting, and as much as ApartmentList is easy to use and I do get SOME good information, I haven’t found anything on Apartment List that I haven’t been able to find something similar and cheaper just in Craigslist. ApartmentList is ok, I would recommend trying it out, because although it’s not right for me, it might be right for you!
