Below are five tips for finding apartments for rent near downtown Denver
 
Start the apartment hunt at least 60 days before your move date.
 
Be sure to search for a home before you need to move. Start looking for a new apartment 60 or 120 days before your intended move date, especially if you are interested in prime locations or specific rental properties.
 
The month's first weekend is usually less busy than the other weekends. You have got a shot at finding the best rentals with less competition. Besides, you've more rental options to pick from than waiting for the last weekend of the month.
 
Check rental listings online.
 
Starting your apartment hunt from Zillow, ByOwners, DoorStep, or Craigslist is an excellent way to gain insights into apartment pricing and housing amenities. However, if you are looking to live in a different city, using rental listings will not provide enough insights about the neighborhoods and their amenities. It's best to travel down and take a stroll in these neighborhoods before making a choice.
 
Engage real estate brokers.
 
Real estate brokers specializing in rental properties can help you find a place to live without charging you a dime.
 
Working with a real estate broker who has access to your preferred building can be advantageous in highly contested areas, as they often have insights into multiple buildings in the same neighborhoods.
 
Expand your search area
 
Don't be too fixated on an area. Looking for a living space on the outskirts of your aimed neighborhood might be the better deal with only a short distance from your preferred spots.
 
Seek smaller buildings
 
Larger buildings with extensive amenities like computer lounges, swimming pools, and gyms tend to come with higher price tags. Opting for apartments in smaller buildings with fewer amenities can often result in more budget-friendly options. It's important to evaluate the offerings of the building and ensure they align with your needs before committing to an apartment.
 
Use social media
 
We are more connected than ever. Don't hesitate to use your Facebook or Twitter to inform people that you're looking for a new apartment. Specify your preferred location, budget, and any other relevant information to help your audience understand your ideal living arrangement. You might come across recommendations or available listings through your network.
