Finding a place you love shouldn’t require a spreadsheet and five tabs open. This fall, we’re rolling out a set of improvements aimed at cutting the effort it takes to compare great apartments—and surfacing more affordable options along the way.
Highlighting lower-cost paths to a great home
Rooms for Rent on Trulia
Sometimes the right move is a room in a great neighborhood, with lower monthly costs and built-in roommates. Trulia now includes Rooms for Rent listings alongside apartments and homes, so you can explore more budget-friendly options without hopping between sites. Filter for rooms, compare locations, and contact hosts directly—all in one place.
Making apartment shopping much easier
New, smarter filters
Narrow your search to what matters, faster. We’ve added several new filters renters request most, including on-site parking, short-term lease, and more —so you can skip the scrolling and get to the shortlist.
Richer building info where you need it
More listings now include amenities and policies you’ve told us are deal-makers (or deal-breakers): pet policies, kitchen amenities, and more. You’ll see the highlights up top, and details when you tap through—less back-and-forth, more confidence.
A clearer unit table
In buildings with multiple floor plans, the new unit table makes it easier to compare by bedrooms, square footage, price, and availability—and reach out when you’re ready. It’s designed for quick scanning and quick decisions.
“What’s new” right on the map
When you return to your search, you’ll now see what’s new on the map at a glance. Recent listings and updates stand out, so you can focus on what’s changed since your last visit.
Alerts that actually help
Turn on email and push notifications and we’ll let you know as soon as a matching apartment hits the market. That way, you can reach out early—often the best edge in a tight market.
What this means for renters
More ways to stay on budget. Fewer surprises. A simpler path from search to “this is the one.” Whether you’re looking for your own place or a room in a favorite neighborhood, Trulia is focused on making the process as transparent and low-effort as possible.
