Not sure you want to rent on your own? Roomster can help! This website and app give you the option to look for an apartment for yourself, roommates or just a single room to rent in your area. You can get as specific as you want, including pet preferences and Zodiac signs.

Imagine an app where you as the house hunter can drive by an available home and get details on it without ever leaving your car. That’s pretty much what Homesnap does for you. Bring your phone and SNAP! Take a photo of a house in the app and suddenly you have the information you need. Another time-saving feature provided by Homesnap is the ability to communicate directly with your partner/spouse and real estate agent, allowing you to keep your house hunting conversations in one place.
