ApartmentRatings.com is the leading online user generated database of information about apartment buildings in the United States.
History
ApartmentRatings was founded in 2000 by Jeremy and Katie Bencken in Austin, TX. The site was developed to provide transparency into the quality of apartment life, and claims to be an unbiased resource because it does not accept advertising from apartment building managers, owners, or corporations. ApartmentRatings was acquired by Internet Brands in 2007.
Site Functionality
ApartmentRatings maintains a database of tenant-generated reviews of apartment buildings. According to the site’s homepage, the site currently contains more than 750,000 reviews of apartments and apartment complexes.
In addition to reviews, the site features a database of building features and amenities, user ratings of amenities, and a database of tenant-reported average rental prices called "What the Neighbors Pay."
In 2007, the site launched a Google Maps-based registered sex offender database that allows users to research whether there are registered sex offenders living in or near apartment complexes.
In 2008, the site launched ApartmentRatings Discussions, a question-and-answer feature that allows apartment hunters to ask questions about particular apartment buildings they are interested in, and have their questions answered by apartment renters currently living in the building in question.
