Hotpads. They gather stuff from Zillow and apartments.com and probably some other sources.

Thank you for mentioning hot pads. I've been scouring craigslist and fb for an apartment and it's been a shit show of obscenely over priced places. Example, everything i was seeing in Woonsocket was 850 a bedroom. That's more than my 2 bedroom costed 4 years ago!

Hotpads is great, but it won't help with the pricing. Housing is just getting expensive. A quick look shows Woonsocket prices range from $1200/month to over $2000/month for 2-bedrooms, with most of them being around the 1500-1700 range.

This is also super helpful from a mapping standpoint. I recall RI craigslist was just one big forum for all apartments-- I remember first moving here and wondering why the place I wanted to see was 45 minutes away!

Hotpads was great to use. The email notifications for searches were so useful.
