Resources For Planning Our Move | Moving To Florida — 2 Foolish Mortals

Apartments.Com

Once you’ve settled on a place you’d like to live, the next step is to try and work out exactly where you’ll be moving to. Whether this is something you’re doing because you’ve got a move date in mind or you’re just trying to get a sense of what’s available, it’s good to get eyes on potential homes. Now, what exactly that home will look like varies based on wants and needs. However, if you’re wanting to try a place on for size before going all in on buying property, renting is the way to go.

When looking for rental properties, the website we gravitate towards the most is Apartments.com. For us, Apartments.com has been very useful in searching for apartments and similar rental properties during our last couple of moves. However, we want to make it abundantly clear that Apartments.com has not been useful to us for anything beyond research purposes. While it initially seemed useful, we soon learned that it was connecting us with a 3rd party that was unreliable and rarely got us in contact with the apartment complexes we were trying to contact. In fact, during the move we made in September 2021, we weren’t contacted back once by an apartment complex we reached out to through Apartments.com and ended up having to contact the complexes directly. As an alternative, we use Apartments.com to find out what’s available and then do our own leg word to get information about as well as contact apartment complexes directly.
