There’s a lot of things to keep in mind as you’re looking for, finding, renting and living in an apartment. We thought we’d go back through our old blog posts and pull out some especially helpful ones for your reading pleasure. Let us know if there’s anything we missed!<\/p>\n

(But first…voting is still open for the People’s Voice Webby for Best Real Estate website! We’re in the running against some great sites and we need your help. Please come vote!<\/a>)<\/p>\n

We discussed <\/span>nine tips to keep in mind when viewing an apartment<\/a>, six tips on subletting your place<\/a>, five ways to avoid losing your security deposit<\/a>,\u00a0four tips for getting the most out of your renter’s insurance<\/a>\u00a0and four questions to ask when looking for a new neighborhood<\/a>.

Why are pre-war buildings awesome?<\/a>\u00a0Have a look and see. We think you’ll agree! Other awesome things about New York: culture on the cheap<\/a>, food fairs<\/a>, subway art<\/a>, ethnic food supermarkets<\/a> and gut-busting sandwiches<\/a>.
