# Non-Craigslist Classifieds For Apartments FlyRig By Joe Boo | Published 2008-01-22 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyrig References: [flyrig](http://www.flyrig.com) Poring over text-only rental listings is about as fun as re-reading your old tax returns. Luckily, there's a new website called [FlyRig](http://www.flyrig.com)that provides maps, localized searches, and the ability to write broker reviews. Maybe $2000/month is a little much for a studio, but at least you'll be able to find out if there's a good pizza joint nearby. **Implications** - Modern user interfaces are becoming more visual and it's almost become an expectation. Not only is it much more useful in conveying and communicating ideas, but visual stimuli maintains a user's attention span much longer than text-only materials. As such, many web-based industries stress highly accessible user interfaces to attract potential customers. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 17% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Visual Rental Listings:** Opportunity for web-based rental listing platforms to incorporate more visual elements into their interfaces to improve user experience and increase customer engagement. - **Localized Searches:** Web-based rental listing platforms can leverage localized searches to provide a more targeted experience for users in finding available apartments in specific areas. - **Broker Reviews:** Opportunity for web-based rental listing platforms to include broker/seller reviews to enhance transparency and allow users to make informed decisions on choosing agents to work with. ### Who This Affects Most - **Real Estate:** The real estate industry can adopt more visual elements and localized searches to enhance the user experience in searching for rental listings. - **Technology:** Tech companies can develop platforms that incorporate broker reviews for rental listings to improve transparency and enhance the customer experience. - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can utilize web-based rental listing platforms with localized searches to provide temporary housing options for travelers in specific areas. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [New York Home Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citysnap.md) - [AR Apartment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-apartment.md) - [Real Estate Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-grid.md) - [Listings Website Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/openlistings.md) - [AI-Powered Real Estate Searches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flyhomes-ai.md) - [Informational Real Estate Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-oyssey-app.md) - [AI Rental Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/estay-ai.md) - [Cross-Border Rental Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zepo-rental.md) - [Exclusive Rental Newsletters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belowthemarket.md)
