New Neighborhood and City Reviews from RentSocial Help Apartment Seekers Find Where They Fit

CHICAGO, Sept. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- RentSocial today announced the launch of a first-of-its-kind Neighborhood and City review feature on its online apartment search platform that allows members to explore and review more than 180,000 neighborhoods and 100,000 cities nationwide. Apartment seekers can browse reviews for information on local schools, the best pizza joints, demographics, transportation, safety and community events. Current and past residents can share their personal experiences and promote their favorite local landmarks, write narrative reviews on their neighborhood or city and learn more from their neighbors about the place they call home.

"In an industry that places top priority on location, the review feature from RentSocial helps future residents imagine what their life can be like in a new neighborhood or city," said Eric Broughton, President and COO of Yield Technologies. "RentSocial members will feel more confident and excited about signing a lease when they already have an idea of what it will be like to live there."

The Neighborhood and City review feature helps RentSocial members be more informed consumers and eases the apartment search by providing detailed information about the most important aspect of renting – choosing the right location. Members can shop smart for their next apartment with the neighborhood overview, explore average rent prices and view images of available properties.

Residents of these areas can connect and share information about their neighborhood or city on RentSocial, designate if they currently live in a neighborhood or city or if they previously lived there and upload their own photos to the neighborhood and city pages.

RentSocial, owned and managed by Yield Technologies, is a new kind of online apartment search service that simplifies and socializes the process of finding an apartment through innovative features including ratings and verified resident reviews. RentSocial gives property managers, residents and prospective renters the ability to connect throughout the rental process, from the beginning of a search to the end of a lease and beyond.
