While moving is still an incredibly difficult task, it has gotten quite a bit easier over the last few years, thanks in large part to the continuous adoption of smartphones. It use to be that you’d have scour the newspaper to find an apartment to move into. No newspaper that day? Too bad. Now, however, there are numerous apps available for your Android device that can make the apartment shopping experience just a little less stressful. Keep reading, and we will countdown the Top 10 Apps for Apartment Hunting, in yet another Android Headlines Top 10 Android Best Apps List.
Apartment Finder is an app that has been available for a while now, which is both good and bad. The main complaint among users is that some of the listings have not been updated for a while, meaning that prices are rather out of date. For newer listings, however, the app offers a very nice interface and search process that allows you to break it down by number of bedrooms/bathrooms and more.
MyApartmentMap is an app that queries multiple databases for apartments available in the United States. The app can break down apartments available by those on sale, which is great for those of us who are budget minded. You can also save listings to view later and even receive notifications when a new apartment that meets your criteria becomes available. You can also create a “wishlist” of apartments, by saving ones you like to look at later.
Now, I know you may be wondering why a Craigslist app is in our Top 10 Apartment Finder Apps list, and we have an explanation. Despite all of the horror stories you may have heard about the online service, Craigslist is actually an incredibly useful service. While it may not offer many of the apartment specific features as other apps, the cPro Craigslist Client is a great app for finding things available both near you and on the other side of the United States.
Developers love to center themselves and apps around the United States, and therefore, people in other countries are often given the shaft when it comes to location based apps. Apartment Rentals In Canada is an, you guessed it, for finding apartments for rent in Canada. It lets you view nearby apartments that are available and if you like it, you can even view the street view for that area, assuming it is available for the neighborhood in question. It also offers the ability to contact the owner/landlord to inquire about the apartment.
HotPads branches out from apartments and searches homes for sale in your area, but thankfully, you can narrow it down to apartments. It’s a location based app, meaning that it can show you places available near your current location. For families, you can also view information about the school district the home is located within. Pictures are a big HotPads thanks to a nice gallery interface.
