1. Seek Web Help in Picking Features If you don’t know what features are available in your area, try exploring the websites of online apartment locator services. You can search for apartments based simply on whether you want a one- or two-bedroom apartment or by other features. It’s a great way to find out both what your pad will cost and what neighborhoods have the features you want. 2. Avoid Choosing a Home Based on Perceived Value You can get a great deal on an apartment with vaulted ceilings and an island kitchen, but the neighborhood may not be what you’re looking for, or it’s missing other things that topped your list of desired features. Don’t make the mistake of renting an apartment because it seems like a good deal according to someone else’s needs but not a good deal based on your needs. 3. Call a Broker in Your Area Look online or in a physical phone book for numbers for apartments in your area. Call and ask about which rental communities and neighborhoods have the most features that you want within your price range. #jprentalsandsales #apartmentsforrent #lifeinthecity #bostonapartments
