Craigslist.com is the preferred way of finding apartments and room shares in the Bay Area. Here are links to finding apartments in San Francisco and the East Bay, the easiest areas to move to in the Bay Area commute to Pyramind. In the menu at the top of the page you’ll probably want the last pull down option to be “apts/housing for rent” or “rooms & shares.” The one thing we can say about using Craigslist is that you must be very, very diligent. Here are some guidelines:
Start a month and a half to two and a half months before you want to move.
Check for new listings once in the morning and once in the evening.
Look for places that have photos in the listing.
Set a minimum and maximum price in your searches.
Send out emails right after you check new listings (you might end up sending over a hundred of emails).
Create a ‘template’ email but change it up for each new place you email.
Be prepared to go to an interview/viewing of the apartment with potential roommates if not multiple interviews if you’re looking for room shares (open houses are also very common).
If you have any questions about any of the listings you find feel free to email Pyramind Admissions and we’ll help you sort it all out.
