Our take

Apartment List is a rental marketplace platform designed to make leasing as fair, easy, and transparent as possible for landlords and tenants. It uses user preferences to curate suggestions and advertise rent discounts.

This is a savvy and simple proposition, especially in Apartment List’s urban search locations where quick turnover and steep pricing can make rental searches a daunting and unpleasant prospect. The efficacy of their approach has been vindicated by profitable operations and increased equity funding.

As the rental market continues to grow, Apartment List has proven to be a reliable and successful platform. With over a third of American households now occupying rental properties, Apartment List has been able to capitalize on this trend, hitting a milestone of 6M apartment units listed on its site in 2022. Moreover, the platform recently announced that it has assisted nearly 1M individuals in finding their next apartment. These impressive numbers are a testament to Apartment List's effectiveness in connecting renters with their ideal living space.
