Finding a good apartment for a reasonable price is hard work. If you are moving to a new city it's even worse. You may not have any friends or family to guide you.

ApartmentRatings.com fills this gap by providing you access to recomendations to apartments you may be considering.
We really don't pitch a service or product unless we have used it or tried it out. This time is no different.

We came across ApartmentRatings.com through friends who have used the service. We also had lived in several apartments in the Washington DC are and tested the service based on our knowledge of the buildings.

We accessed ApartmentRatings.com and selected Washington DC and several apartment buildings. There's an overall rating of the apartment building provided. The real gold is the comments and recommendations of prior tenants.
We read with amusement many comments discussing bug problems and various exotic cooking odors in the apartment. All the comments were true. Ditto for the other apartments, where parking was a problem or the service was terrible for the price.

The good thing about ApartmentRatings.com is that is does not accept money from landlords. So the recomendations and ratings from tenants are more objective. While ApartmentRatings.com is not fool proof, it is an excellent screening tool. It can weed out the buildings and neighborhoods that are not right for you and help you make better choices.

In the long run we hope you'll find this helpful and save some time and money finding your apartment. if you don't find what you need with them, consider some of the other services offered here.
