 About
Us
This website was created by an actual apartment seeker – a
very frustrated apartment seeker! When I started to look for an apartment in
the Grand Rapids area, it seemed natural and logical to start by looking on the
internet (my usual first place to look for just about anything). Well, before
too long, I realized that it wasn’t that simple, or easy. What I found was a
veritable hodgepodge of information. Oh, there was a lot of stuff out there,
but it was all in bits and pieces and totally disorganized. Nowhere was there
one source of complete information about all apartments in the Grand Rapids
area.
So I decided to create what I couldn’t find – and also what
I believed was needed. If I was frustrated and unable to find what I wanted, I
knew there were many others out there just like me, seeking and not finding, or
finding incomplete and confusing information. I thought too that there would be
many property owners who needed a better resource to tell people about their
apartments. And since I enjoy website development, that is what I did, and here
it is.
My hope is that people who are looking for a local
apartment will start here first. I’ve accumulated a
list of nearly all the
apartments in the greater Grand Rapids area. The list should include all of the
larger apartment complexes (and if I’ve missed any, I hope you’ll tell me) and
many of the smaller buildings as well. For every apartment on the list, you’ll
find the apartment name, address, and phone number. For those apartments with
their own website, or a section within the website of their management company,
there’s a link to that information too. I’ve also tried to compile a list of
“pet friendly” apartments for renters with furry members of their families. And
there’s also a list of independent living apartments for
seniors. All the basic
information about local apartments – complete and in one place – voila! Just
what I was looking for and couldn’t find.
Also for apartment seekers, the site includes information
resources. Resources include
Local Information about the Grand Rapids area,
such as local governments and entertainment and culture. Whether you’re a
lifelong resident, or just moving to the area, this information will help you to
learn more about what is available in our metropolitan area. And there’s also
some tips and other Moving Resources to help make your move a bit easier.
I’ve also included an option for property owners to
showcase their apartments on this website. The basic information is provided
for all apartments, free of charge. But there’s a lot more that property owners
can add to this site about their apartments. They can read more about this
opportunity by clicking here, or on “Our
Services” under the “Property Owners” tab on the main menu. Property owners can
provide a range of information for apartment seekers, including all the basics
plus their own descriptions and photos. In the Property Owners section they’ll
also find a sample site to show them what is possible. And there’s also
information about Fees and Payment options.
I hope that everyone who visits this website will enjoy
their visit here. I have tried very hard to make all the information complete
and accurate. If, however, you find any of the website content that should be
amended in any way, I would appreciate it if you would send me an
e-mail. After
the changes are verified, they will be processed immediately. And if there are
properties that are not included on the site lists, please let me know that as
well. Or if you have any comments or suggestions for the website, I’d love to
hear from you.
