Apartment Guide sought the answer to this question by looking at what visitors to its site searched for from February through August.
According to the data, apartment hunters seek:
- Economy. Most wanted apartments with monthly rents in the $500-$700 range.
- Value. They want something extra included in the rent, such as paid utilities or furniture.
- Convenience. They want to be close to the center of their city. Living within five miles of downtown was the top choice.
- Amenities. Apartment hunters sought a wide variety of amenities. A washer and dryer in the apartment was the most desired amenity, while oversized closets bottomed out the list at #15.
If you're currently seeking an apartment, or if you were to look for one today, what would be important to you?
