ApartmentFinder Listings Scraper

🏢 Apartment Finder Scraper

Extract rental listings from ApartmentFinder.com, part of the Apartments.com Network — the largest apartment marketplace in the US. The Apartment Finder Scraper turns any city, ZIP code or neighborhood search into clean, structured data — rent ranges, base rent vs. total monthly price, required fees, phone numbers, coordinates, ratings and specials — and, on request, the full property profile with every floor plan and the unit-by-unit availability grid (unit number, price, square feet, move-in date).

Paste a search URL from apartmentfinder.com and run. Hosted on the Apify platform, it gives you API access, scheduling, integrations, and exports to JSON, CSV, Excel and Google Sheets out of the box.

✨ Features

• 🏠 Complete property records – name, street address, city, state, ZIP, latitude/longitude, total monthly price range, base rent range, required monthly fees, rent by bedroom count, star rating, phone, current special offer (price drops, free months), listing tier and main photo.
• 🧱 Floor plans & unit-level availability – flip on Scrape property details to get every floor plan (beds, baths, sq ft, rent) and each individual unit on the market: unit number, asking price, square feet and move-in date — the data that rollup scrapers leave out.
• 🛋️ Amenities, fees & policies – amenities grouped by category (community, floor plan, security, nearby universities and parks), the itemised fee schedule (admin, deposit, pest control, …), pet policy, lease terms, office hours, rent specials, review count and full description.
• 🔍 Any search, any filter – city, ZIP code and neighborhood pages, with bedroom, price, amenity and lifestyle filters applied on the site first. Individual property URLs work too.
• 💸 Pay only for what you scrape – transparent pay-per-result pricing with a built-in Max items cap to control cost.
• ⚡ Fast & reliable – handles pagination automatically and deduplicates results, with no proxy required.

🛠️ How to use the Apartment Finder Scraper

1. Find your search – Go to apartmentfinder.com, search a city, ZIP code or neighborhood, apply any filters (bedrooms, max rent, pet-friendly, …) and copy the URL — for example https://www.apartmentfinder.com/Texas/Houston-Apartments/2-Bedrooms.
2. Paste the URL – Add one or more of these URLs to the Start URLs input field.
3. Set your limits – Choose Max items (default 50) and, optionally, enable Scrape property details for floor plans and unit availability.
4. Run the Actor – Start it and watch the structured results fill the dataset in real time.
5. Export – Download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or pull it via the Apify API.

💰 How much does it cost to scrape ApartmentFinder?

This Actor uses pay-per-result pricing:

• $2.00 per 1,000 properties scraped at search level — including price ranges, fees, phone, coordinates and specials.
• $5.00 per 1,000 properties when Scrape property details is enabled — adding floor plans, the unit availability grid, amenities, fees and policies.

You only pay for the properties you actually scrape, and the Max items input keeps every run within budget. New Apify accounts include free monthly usage credits, so you can try it at no cost.

💡 Tips

• Search level is usually enough. Price ranges, base rent, fees, phone and coordinates are all on the search card — leave Scrape property details off unless you need floor plans or unit-level availability.
• Slice large cities. A search paginates up to roughly 750 properties. For big metros, add one URL per ZIP code, neighborhood or bedroom filter (/Zip-Codes/77095-Apartments, /Texas/Houston-Apartments/2-Bedrooms, /Texas/Houston-Apartments/Under-1500) to cover everything.
• Track price drops. The special field surfaces "Price Drop" and "1 Month Free" promotions the moment they appear; schedule daily runs to catch them.
• Compare like with like. priceRange is the total monthly price; baseRentMin/baseRentMax is rent before fees. Use the base rent when comparing across properties.
• Automate it. Use Apify Schedules to monitor a market daily and pipe results to Google Sheets, a webhook, or your own API.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping ApartmentFinder legal? This Actor collects only publicly available listing data. As with any web scraping, you are responsible for how you use the data and for complying with applicable laws and the site's terms.

Which locations are supported? Every US market on apartmentfinder.com — any city, ZIP code, neighborhood, county or college page, with or without filters.

How many properties can one search return? A single search URL paginates to about 750 properties. To go deeper, split the market by ZIP code, neighborhood or filters and add several URLs.

Why is reviewCount or priceRange empty? The review count is only on the property page (enable Scrape property details), and some properties advertise "Call for Rent" instead of a price. Missing values are returned as null.

Can I get a custom version? Yes — open an issue on the Actor's Issues tab with your requirements.
