Quick Summary
Padmapper is one of the most awesome apartment finding services that I have ever seen. It is an interactive apartment finding system built to pull information from Craigslist, Apartments.com, ForRent, and The Rest about available apartments and then map them on a massive google map. You can then filter the results down to what you want for a rental (see picture below to view various filters). It's incredibly easy to use and extremely faster than reading through ads on craigslist. Once you have the rental areas filter you can simply click on a pin to see information about the rental. You can also subscribe to the area listing that you created via email (essentially, create you search once and then get that search sent to you daily or hourly)
Things I Like
- Interactivity.
- Super quick and easy to use.
- Highly customizable.
- Aggregates data from multiple listing services.
- Emails you your search daily/hourly if you want. You can also Link/Embed the search you made.
- iPhone client also.
Things I Don't Like
- No easy way to print out a list of the apartment in your searches. This is to say, no easy way to see a text version of everything.
- That I didn't know about this service while I was looking for an apartment.
