It’s a brand new year and apartment hunting season is just about ready to pick up again. At Zumper, we’re lucky enough to have insight into the preferences of hundreds of thousands of renters across the country, and we wanted to kick off 2018 by sharing some of them with you.

Throughout the second half of 2017, some of the most popular cities among apartment hunters included Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Washington, DC, and more. We took a peek at these top cities to identify the buildings renters are flocking to, and which ones have fresh availability for 2018.
