You know the concept of what they’re trying to accomplish is fine but the problem is the properties never respond. You email me or text and they say they will respond within 24 hours. They’ll text you back with regurgitated marketing material copied from their website.! I’ve got several properties that don’t even respond let alone I’m getting so frustrated. There’s one property right now that I’ve been trying for four weeks to get a response from. they seem to just regurgitated marketing material copied from their own website that you’ve already looked at a basic copy of the website sent to me over email but no answers from the individual or stop by. It’s like no I want to know what I asked, which is I want total move-in cost so I can walk down look at it, and rent it if I do not want more marketing material regurgitated from their own websites back at me this is ridiculous so this app doesn’t accomplish what it tries to do because the properties don’t respond to the leases.!!

Searched for housing for a studio or 1 bdrm under $1500 up to 60 minutes of driving distance. I would go further out but it did not give me that option. Changed my preferences and apartment list resubmitted the same apt complex that I did not like twice. I am better off searching on my own.

Requires you to make an account in order to view apartment listings, but doesn’t inform you of this requirement until you have already completed a time consuming survey. Total scumbag behavior, would never use their service on principle. To your reply: you did not in fact ask for my information up front, you waited until I had already completed a time consuming survey, as I noted in my review. Don’t lie about the way your service works.

This is the single worst apartment hunt site I have ever had the displeasure of using. You set a max price of $1600/month? F*** you, here's 50 results for $2k. Check some amenities? Great, now you went from 700 results to 750 for some god damn reason. If an apartment doesn't fit some specific criteria that you set, they'll still show it to you and there's no way to turn that off. Single most useless piece of sh!t website ever. Use Apartments.com or Zillow or RentCafe or something.

I did take a second look at The Alexander then read reviews on Yelp – an unheard of 17 one stars out of 36. Clearly, a narrow escape from a nightmarish life of cockroaches – mold - unruly kids – double the number of residents allowed in apartments – broken security gates – landlord jacks up fees w/ no recourse – and many more horrors. Needless to say, apartment list.com has lost all credibility. Moreover, I already had found and discarded all of the apartments except one that apartmentlist.com recommended. What a sham. Please remove my email address from your records. Following is my edit after apartmentlist.com replied to my review. Note that I appreciate apartmentlist.com's courteous reply to my review including their explanation and considerate offer to delete my account. Perhaps my review will encourage enhanced vetting of entities upon which apartmentlist.com relies for its recommendations.

Not sure why everything is so goddamn expensive exclusively on this website. Don't even bother looking for housing here if you are looking for a better deal, every single listing on here is atleast a thousand dollars more than any comparable listings I've seen on other services in the same area. Seems like they are raising the price that the landlord gave them to collect a finders fee, completely disingenuous

Asks way too many personal questions then gives no results unless you verify personal information. This site is nothing more than a data mining scam. Stay away.

Complete scam --- runs personal questions and instead of showing available apartments, asks for more personal data. It's almost impossible to screw up looking for apartments, but this group found a way to demand data, more data and then add no value while wasting my time.
