As a renter, there are several popular websites that you might check out to find housing, but there's also RadPad, an apartment finder app that's optimized for finding a new place to live from your mobile device.

The RadPad app is totally free to download and use, plus its in-app messaging system cuts out the need for you to share your personal email address with total strangers. It's loaded with a ton of other great features as well, including that each listing has at least three pictures to go with it. Additionally, if you're looking to move closer to a school or your workplace, you can search RadPad's listings by location and see the "DriveTime" to each, which is a super handy feature that makes it easy to find the best listing for you.
