Adding an "Apartment" option to your drop down box would be ideal. That way renters could distinguish between apartment, townhouse and condo.
This is in the works as we speak. Apartment complexes are very different than the others and thus require a different layout and pricing structure. They are also going to be the bread and butter of the the business as Apartment complexes tend to advertise wherever they can within the industry, and unlike individual properties, they keep their listings indefinitely.
This company has been around for years and are killing it -- Los Angeles Apartments, Orange County Apartments, and San Diego Apartments They would be your primary, non-CL, competition here in the L.A. area. Their site is a little busy for my taste but I can't argue with success. Santa Monica is one of the primary sub-markets for them.
Thanks for this - I will be able to check up on their business later this weekend. I am in SoCal for the weekend for a wedding. I did just quickly look at their front page and can quickly see that they do have traction in the area. I do also see what you mean by 'busy'. wow. But success is success. And if someone can do it better....
If renters could access that information on your site through a map or drop down feature that would be nice. I know I would appreciate something like that.
I have thought about this and now hearing it being addressed by others makes me want to look back into it. There have been other sites created focused on this specific point (ie Hotpads). Problem is non of these sites made it nation-wide whereas sites that focus on just listing the properties do. If I can find a way to incorporate this idea but keep it simple I will. Thanks for the ideas!
