Apartment Ratings

Apartment Ratings is a website for renters, listed in El Segundo, California, built around ratings and written reviews of apartment communities. It is a research tool, not a landlord and not a moving company, and the listing has no USDOT number, which is normal for a website. People who are about to move use sites like it to compare buildings before they sign a lease.

Using a review site when you are about to move

Treat resident reviews as one input. A review shows what one tenant experienced at one time, so look for patterns across many reviews, such as repeated comments about maintenance response, noise, parking or security deposit returns, and check how recent they are. Then confirm what matters in the lease itself: the length of the term, pet and parking rules, and who pays for utilities. Visit in person if you can, at a time of day when you would normally be home.

Moving into a new apartment often comes with its own logistics. Ask the building about move-in hours, elevator reservations, deposits for moving, and whether movers must show a certificate of insurance. In California cities, curb space may require a permit if the moving truck needs to park on the street.

Once you know where you are going, you can request moving quotes through Movers Directory.
