MyApartmentMap.com - Search For Apartments By Map

If you’ve ever had to search for an apartment on your own, you understand how frustrating it is to switch back and forth between the search engine and an online mapping service to try and figure out if it’s in a good location. Now you don’t have to do this anymore. MyApartmentMap.com brings you a new apartment search tool which combines with Google Maps to bring you a more efficient way of determining just where exactly your potential new pad is. The search engine essentially functions just like a traditional real estate search site: enter in your price range, amount of bedrooms needed, and specify your location (city or suburb). Results are displayed in list form; click on a results to populate them on the map provided. Looking to rent your apartment or need a roommate? The site also lets you post your listing for free. Currently, the site only works for searches in thirteen US cities, and Toronto, although the site plans on expanding to serve other metropolises.

“MyApartmentMap combines apartment listings with Google Maps to form a completely new way to find apartments. Need to find a one bedroom apartment close to the highway? How about a studio walking distance to the subway? MyApartmentMap.com makes it easy by visually showing you where apartments are located.”

MyApartmentMap makes it ridiculously easy not only to search for apartments, but also to figure out where exactly they are located. You can even switch from the traditional view to the satellite view, zoom in, and make sure your new neighborhood looks appealing. Ads from Google are strategically placed and don’t clutter up the site’s interface.

Does this site only work for rentals, or can you search for an apartment that is being sold too? The site hasn’t expanded to many cities yet, so although it appears popular among the metropolises it serves, success will really depend upon branching out to other cities and other countries. Otherwise, MyApartmentMap can’t really expect to rival larger apartment search engines, even with the added utility of the area map.
