what websites to use to go apartment hunting?

<p>other than craigslist. completely overwhelmed on this o.O</p>

<p>thanks</p>

<p>1) [San</a> Francisco Rental Housing Search Tools - cribQ](<a href=“Sfbay.cribq.com”>http://sfbay.cribq.com/). This website scans all the craigslist ads and puts them onto a map. This way, you can zoom in to the areas you’d like to live in and see what’s available there.</p>

<p>2) Check out the websites for some of the larger rental companies. For example, check out North Berkeley Properties ([North</a> Berkeley Properties: Units](<a href=“http://www.northberkeleyproperties.com/]North”>http://www.northberkeleyproperties.com/)) or Everest Properties ([Home](<a href=“http://www.everestprop.com/]Home[/url]”>http://www.everestprop.com/)</a>). These sites usually have some form of search tool.</p>

<p>Happy hunting!</p>

<p>Another housing question–I am a total apartment-hunting newbie. If I wanted to move in June, when should I find apartments/sign lease/etc? The same for August?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I’ve apartment-hunted twice for August leases when I was at Cal. June ads don’t start popping up till maybe around spring break-April. August shows up starting in June-July. This time line specifically relates to Craigslist.</p>

<p>When are you planning to move in?</p>

<p>[Apartments</a> for Rent - PadMapper Apartment Search for Oodle, Apartments.com, Kijiji, and Craigslist Apartments](<a href=“http://www.padmapper.com%5DApartments”>http://www.padmapper.com) << The best one</p>

<p>you could try calrentals. but there is a subscription fee and they pretty much list the same stuff as craigslist</p>

<p>the problem with trying to find housing now is that all the good spots are already filled up</p>
