Apartment List

At Apartment List, our mission is to find you a home and our method is trust and transparency. With tons of homes and apartments for rent in almost every state, city, and neighborhood across the nation, we‘re here to help you find your next home.

Here’s how it works: first, we get to know you. You’ll answer a few simple questions and we’ll find the best matches – just for you. Then, we mix and match your personalized results, making it easy to discover places with the perfect combination of price, location and amenities. From there, we help you figure out which listings are best to visit and eventually lease, showing you up-to-date pricing and availability, rent specials, and much more. After all, everyone deserves a home they love.

What We Do

We’re here to deliver renters a home they love at the value they deserve.

Whether renters are embarking to a new city, in search of a quieter neighborhood, or making the jump to a two-bedroom apartment — consider us the rental matchmaker.

We’ve made it our mission to revolutionize renting by making it a stress-free, simple, and holistic experience, connecting ready-to-move renters with compatible city living.

After renters answer a few quiz questions, our AI curates a list of properties that pair with their lifestyle and must-haves — finding them a Perfect Match.

Brand Story

It all started when our Founder John Kobs moved to New York and had what he dubbed to be the “worst 24-hour apartment search in history”.

Rather than dwelling on his experience, Kobs utilized this as his own personal “ah-ha” moment. Renting shouldn’t be complicated.

Since that day, we’ve prided ourselves on exploring innovative solutions and utilizing AI technology to radically shift the rental experience, from time-consuming and stressful to quick, easy, efficient, and dare we say — fun.

Core Values

How we go about our mission day-in and day-out

Go Beyond: We’re dedicated, innovative thinkers who show up every day to ensure our renters and clients get what they want and deserve.

Always Home: With our round-the-clock AI technology, we’re here 24/7 to deliver an experience that feels just like home.

Check All The Boxes: Your wishlist is our command — we find joy in delivering personally curated properties and even provide suggestions based on your list.

Your Silver Lining: We handle the not-so-fun parts of the rental search and let you focus on the excitement of finding your next apartment.

Do Better: We’ve set a high bar for renting and are committed to delivering on this promise for each and every move-in.

DEI

We’re dedicated to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture for every A-lister — but we recognize there’s always room to be better. As we continue to invest in DEI, we hold ourselves accountable to further challenge the status quo.

From our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) like Black @ A-List, Women @ AL, API-List, Listos, and Pride-List, to affinity month celebrations and Give Back days — these are some of the ways Apartment List celebrates and honors diversity.

Home Bridge

Meet Home Bridge — Apartment List's social impact program puts our vision of "Everyone deserves a home they love" into action. To date, we’ve delivered 13,000 nights of free housing to families facing times of crisis — that’s equivalent to 35 years of housing! This a feat that would not be possible without our dedicated real estate and community partners.

Virtual First

Apartment List is a virtual first, 100% remote company. With employees across the US, we’re able to build a stronger, more diverse workforce and empower personal balance through more flexibility.

Though we’re a virtual first team, we also believe in the power of authentic and meaningful human connection. That’s why in addition to our virtual events, we also host in-person meetups in different cities, both team-specific and all-company, on a regular basis. (Coffee and cocktails with your teammates taste so much better in person.)
