Apartment ListReviews of apartmentlist.com

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.

Lots of great properties, but you will be massively spammed. Use other sites.

I moved to a new city and didn't know where to look for an apartment. This site asked me questions about my preferences and matched with a better suited places. I wish they had more listings to match my needs with.

If your PMs read this, your onboarding flow was one of the worst I've ever experienced. I answered 15+ questions about what I was looking for, then was forced to give a fake phone number, then had to click through a demo how to use your product that I couldn't skip. I still haven't gotten any value from clicking on your ad and am going elsewhere. There are 20 other competitive products I could use - try providing users some value by showing apartments instead of showing off every feature you've shipped in the last year

Unlike other sites, it doesn't seem to discount renters seeking the cheapest of places, and genuinely helps all income ranges for free, from a renter's perspective. The ONLY thing I think it could possibly do better is to not let the Avail platform (company) to so easily solicit apartmentlist users, because Avail's security of the data it asks for before a property's "manager" will even interact with a potential renter is dubious. If apartmentlist were smart, it would offer the same service as Avail while guaranteeing users that their personal info be kept in a sort of "escrow" from property "managers" until and unless said managers and their postings are vetted as legitimate AND create a "rentability" scale for potential renters that property managers can trust so that renters' personal informations do not HAVE to be disclosed to anyone but the secure site that apartmentlist guarantees renters to maintain.
