#How To Find an Awesome Apartment On Craigslist Looking for an apartment is horrible. But technology can help. If you're smart, you can cut through the junk and beat the competition en route to a sweet pad. If you're planning to rent in a city, your search is bound to go through good old Craigslist—especially now that its listings no longer appear on Padmapper. Here's how to navigate the chaos. The BasicsThere's no getting around it, finding an apartment is a lot of work. Get organized, use the technology at your disposal, and you'll save yourself a lot of headaches. There are a few things you should know before you start looking.
Craigslist search basicsOpen up 20 browser tabs and do keyword searches on Craigslist for everything you could possibly want: Neighborhood, price range, local attractions, public transportation, pets, no broker fee, etc. Make sure to search for possible misspellings (Williamsburgh?). You'll want to save these searches and run them at least a few times a day so that you can jump on a listing when it's up (see the note on speed above).
