What are the best ways to find an apartment?

<p>I'm wondering what sites or property managers people have used for their housing. My friends and I just realized we're a little behind in finding a place and are scrambling a bit. Thanks!</p>

<p>Try using <a href=“http://www.cribspot.com%5B/url%5D”>www.cribspot.com</a> to find a place. It was started by some former U of M students (actually know one of them- great guy) and really helped me. They also have a tab at the bottom you can chat with them to ask questions.</p>

<p>Walk around areas where you might like to live. Write down (take notes on your iphone) the phone numbers of apartments you might like to live at. That how I found my apartment. I’ve been happy. </p>

<p>You’re a little behind…Apartments can be put up for rent in Nov.</p>

<p>A lot of the good places close to campus have been leased out since October. There’s probably only a fair amount of 1 and 2 bedroom apartments left since those take longer to get rented. If you want a 4bd+ place you might be stuck kinda far away at this point. I would check out u towers though, the units aren’t as nice but they’re right on south u and I think they stay on the market a bit longer, not totally sure though.</p>
