Using Craig’s List to find an apartment or room for rent

The following is a good way for you internationals who have just arrived to find a place to live near where you are going to school or are working. A Chinese international student named Rui made me aware of this method of using Craig’s List.

Open one of the following two websites:

http://cosprings.craigslist.org/apa/

http://cosprings.craigslist.org/roo/

Fill in "UCCS" or “CTU” or “Broadmoor” in the “search for” section, check the "entire post" box, and then click the "search" button. The available apartments and rooms will be displayed as a list.

Website for finding an apartment

Move.com

http://www.move.com/

If you’re looking for an apartment near UCCS or CTU, you can find what is available at this website. In the box for ZIP, write “80907.” In “Search within,” click on “exact match.” Then fill in what you want for Minimum Price, Maximum Price, number of bedrooms, and number of bathroom.

When you click on the listing, it will take you to a realtor, not to the apartment manager himself or herself. If you call him or her, ask what apartments are available and if they are within walking distance of UCCS or CTU.

Naomi St. John

A family has a bedroom/bathroom for rent in the basement of their home. Their home is located northwest of Garden of the Gods and 30th, near Flying W Ranch Road (not far from the Verizon building at the end of Garden of the Gods). It’s in the area of CTU and UCCS, but you would need a car to commute to those two universities from this home. The room rents for $500, but she’s willing to negotiate.  The bedroom is furnished, and there is a small fridge/microwave/toaster oven available for breakfasts or snacks. Also, their kitchen and washer/dryer can be shared with a little coordination.
